Nobody has any verse that says that a believer can lose salvation. The 2 words lose & salvation are not ever even found in 1 verse in my Bible.

Gary, continuing in faith is pretty self-explanatory - you continue believing in Christ. And the law *requiring* faith from us excludes any valid reason for...
