Nice compilation.
How many verses do you think it would take to convince anyone?
I've been here 9 years and have listed very very many many verses to no avail.

What I hate is that someone might be reading along that thinks he can do whatever he wishes to -even live a life of sin - and it won't make any difference to God.

All Jesus spoke of and taught was our obedience to God and our behavior toward our neighbor.

Love seems to be the central theme of the NT.
If there's no love for God and man (and one's self) how could there be salvation?

What Does Jesus Say About A Saved Person Becoming Unsaved ?
I am unaware of anything in this regard,

If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:6

Those who do not remain in Christ, are no longer saved; they have become lost.

Here is how the scriptures instruct us to remain in Christ.

Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 1 John 3:24

So please break it down for me .
If David's committing adultery , and murder , did not cause him to lose his salvation , what exactly does cause a person to lose their salvation ?
And be specific ?

2 Samuel 12:13

"And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die."

Today Jesus Warns against becoming or remaining unsaved.
He also may still be saying to the world's people, variously/groups,
"Unless you all (each) repent , you (sing or pl) (the ones who refuse )will all likewise perish."
 
My former GP used to believe. I asked him why he stopped.
He said he saw too "many things." Medical, no doubt.
If only someone had told him the truth ? (maybe someone did?)
Medical no doubt, deceived him as it does billions of people on earth. If they are taught that medical is right, and if they do not seek truth and keep seeking truth, then they are living continual in darkness, and
while God has mercy on whoever He chooses to, ....
He also hardens whoever He chooses to ....

I don't believe it was a matter of medical being right or wrong.
He meant that he saw too much suffering and needlessly so.
He saw too much pain, too many children get sick and die, the affect
on the families, etc.

Maybe he never really believed to begin with - I didn't know him that well.
My dentist is born again. He seems to be OK with seeing "too much".

When we have troubles/tragedy, whatever, we either get closer to God or
we abandon Him. It depends on whether or not we got ready for "life" before it happens.

Jesus taught That salvation that comes from God, cannot be lost. Those who suggest salvation cannot be lost, do not understand the teaching of Jesus.
Matt 24:13 he who endures to the end shall be saved.
This is a true statement concerning God's elect. Those who endure to the end will be saved. Jesus told us already ,He will lose none.The elect perservere to the end.

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Descriptive as all the elect do hold it to the end.
Heb 6:11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Yes, of course he does.
Romans 11:22 – God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness
Yes, continuance in the faith, is evidence of the faith.
Colossians 1:21-23 – holy and blameless, if you continue in the faith"
You like the passages containing the "if". It is not contingent but certain.
Colossians 2:5
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ
Yes, he was encouraged as the elect saints persevered.

There are reprobates who commit apostasy, non elect reprobates.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

10For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

11And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

12That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

All the verses you list are just like these. Not one teaches a person had salvation and lost it.

They don't repent.

“Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. Matthew 18:15-17

Rom 8:38-39

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

So exactly what does a person washed in the Blood of Christ need to do to require a repeat ?

David did not repent for a year until God finally sent Nathan to confront him with his sin .
Why was David's salvation not gone after a week , a month , 10 months of his failure to repent ?

2Sa 12:7
"And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel "
 
Where did this question originate ?
Or , perhaps what doctrine are you trying to justify ?
The question "originates" from the argument frequently made that a mediocre come & go salvation was the best that the God could do in sending His only begotten Son to die in our place.
An argument oft made, and just as often consistently void of specifics .
Inquiring hearts and minds want to know .
Don't you ?

Does Hebrews 10:26 mean that a believer can lose salvation?

Jun 8, 2022Answer. "For if we are willfully sinning after receiving the full knowledge of the truth,

there remains no more sacrifice concerning sins.".

i.e. no repeat...... gone forever..... lost.... as written.

Not at all
Many learn the truth that they are sinners and in need of salvation but would rather live in sin , and maybe be saved sometime later after they have had their fun.

Act 26:28
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
 
If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:6

Those who do not remain in Christ, are no longer saved; they have become lost.

JLB
A person can not " abide " in a place without ever having been there .
Jesus is speaking of those who profess His name but of whom He says " I never knew you" .
Judas is a prime example of who Jesus is speaking of here , a fraud who was never abiding in Christ to begin with.
Judas could not " remain" in Christ because he never was in Him
