Well said. Universal salvation teaching is false to the quick. That would then be rightfully criticized as that which teaches, you can go on sinning because no matter what you do you're saved. As I recall there is a pastor that teaches this. I don't recall the name however.
Salvation is eternal and as Paul said, God's gift and calling is irrevocable. There are many verses that speak of this because we are under grace, not under the law as the early Hebrews were before the coming of our Lord.
I love this verse. "But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:14
And Paul again in
Ephesians 1:1-23
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will..."
This may teach more than what can be written and rewritten here to get the truth across. And it has plenty of scriptural support as referred to in the teaching itself. :

can a Christian lose salvation first the
00:06
term Christian must be defined a
00:08
Christian is not a person who has set a
00:10
prayer or walk down an aisle or but
00:12
raised in a Christian family while each
00:14
of these things can be part of the
00:16
Christian experience they are not what
00:17
makes a Christian a Christian is a
00:20
person who has fully trusted in Jesus
00:21
Christ as their only Savior and
00:23
therefore possesses the Holy Spirit John
00:26
3:16 acts 16:31 and Ephesians 2:8
00:29
through 9 perhaps the best way to answer
00:33
the question of losing salvation is to
00:35
examine what the Bible says occurs at
00:37
salvation and study what losing
00:39
salvation would entail a Christian is a
00:41
new creation therefore if anyone is in
00:44
Christ he is a new creation the old has
00:46
gone and the new has come 2nd
00:48
Corinthians 5:17 a Christian is not
00:51
simply an improved version of a person
00:53
hmm a Christian is an entirely new
00:55
creature he is in Christ for a Christian
00:59
to lose salvation the new creation would
01:01
have to be destroyed a Christian is
01:03
redeemed first Peter 1:18 through 19
01:06
declares we were bought or redeemed with
01:09
the blood of Christ not perishable
01:10
things like silver or gold the word
01:13
redeemed refers to a purchase being made
01:15
or price being paid
01:17
we were purchased at the cost of
01:19
Christ's death for a Christian to lose
01:21
salvation God himself would have to
01:24
revoke his purchase of the individual
01:25
for whom he paid with the precious blood
01:27
of Christ a Christian is justified
01:30
therefore since we have been justified
01:31
through faith we have peace with God
01:34
through our Lord Jesus Christ Romans 5:1
01:37
to justify is to declare righteous all
01:40
those who receive Jesus a savior are
01:43
declared righteous by God for a
01:45
Christian to lose salvation God would
01:47
have to go back on his word and
01:49
undeclared a person righteous those
01:51
absolved of guilt would have to be tried
01:53
again and found guilty a Christian is
01:56
promised eternal life John 3:16 says
01:59
whoever believes in Christ will have
02:01
eternal life eternal life is the promise
02:03
of spinning forever in heaven with God
02:05
God promises believe and you will have
02:08
eternal life for a Christian to lose
02:10
salvation eternal life would have to be
02:12
redefined
02:13
a Christian is marked by God and sealed
02:16
by the Holy Spirit
02:17
Ephesians 1:13 through 14 says that at
02:20
the moment of faith the new Christian is
02:22
marked and sealed with the Spirit who
02:24
has promised to act as a deposit to
02:26
guarantee the heavenly inheritance the
02:29
end result is that God's glory is
02:31
praised for Christian to lose salvation
02:33
God would have to erase the mark
02:35
withdrawal the Spirit cancel the deposit
02:37
break his promise revoke the guarantee
02:40
keep the inheritance forgo the praise
02:43
and lessen his glory a Christian is
02:45
guaranteed glorification according to
02:47
Romans 5:1 justification is ours at the
02:50
moment of faith according to Romans 8:30
02:53
clarification comes with justification
02:55
all those whom God justifies a promise
02:59
to be glorified this promise will be
03:01
fulfilled when Christians receive their
03:03
perfect resurrection bodies in heaven if
03:05
a Christian can lose salvation
03:07
the Romans 8:30 is an error because God
03:10
cannot guarantee the glorification for
03:12
all those whom he predestined calls and
03:14
justifies a Christian cannot lose
03:17
salvation most if not all of what the
03:20
Bible says happens to us when we receive
03:22
Christ would be invalidated if salvation
03:24
could be lost salvation is the gift of
03:26
God and God's gifts are irrevocable
03:28
Romans 11:29 common objections to this
03:33
belief usually raise the question what
03:35
about Christians who live in a sinful
03:37
unrepentant lifestyle or have turned
03:39
away from the faith this however assumes
03:42
that everyone who calls himself a
03:44
Christian has actually been born again
03:45
the Bible declares that a true Christian
03:48
will not live in a state of continual
03:50
unrepentant sin first John 3:6 the Bible
03:54
also says that anyone who departs the
03:57
faith is demonstrating that he was never
03:58
truly a Christian first John 2:19 also
04:02
Matthew 7/16 says we will know
04:04
Christians by their fruit nothing can
04:07
separate a child of God from the
04:08
Father's love Romans 8:38 through 39
04:12
nothing can remove a Christian from
04:14
God's hand John 10:28 through 29 God
04:18
guarantees eternal life and maintains
04:20
the salvation he has given us the Good
04:22
Shepherd searches for the lost sheep
04:24
when he finds it he joyfully puts it on
04:26
his shoulders and goes home Luke 15 5
04:29
through 6 the lamb is found and the
04:32
shepherd gladly bears the burden our
04:34
Lord takes full responsibility for
04:36
bringing the lost one safely home.
