How would you get universalism from that? Now I think you're just being willfully contrarian.
When you sin, having been saved, do you believe that you have to make atonement for it? or just confess and ask forgiveness? If you believe the former, then you don't believe that Jesus was sufficient atonement and that'd make you not saved.
I am not saying you believe in Universalism, but you act like there are no conditions involving salvation like the Universalist who believes all will be saved because there are no conditions for salvation.
You said:
If the latter, well, that's how I view 1 John 1:9. John was writing to believers, people who already were saved as far as he knew. So what you said, makes no sense.
Then you are faced with a contradiction because 1 John 1:9 says that IF we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. YOU believe that you are already forgiven and cleansed of all unrighteousness without any confession of sin. But 1 John 1:9 tells us the exact opposite of that because it tells us to confess sin in order to be forgiven of it, and to be cleansed of all unrighteousness.
See, you falsely think that all you have to do is believe in Jesus in order to have faith. But faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). This means we have to believe in all of God's Word. This means we have to believe the words of Jesus and not just believe in the person of Christ for salvation alone. How so? Matthew 7:26-27 basicaly says everyone who does not do what Jesus says is like a fool who built his house upon the sand, and when a storm came, great was the fall of that house.
You said:
Adam didn't have the atonement of Jesus Christ
Not true. Adam would have the redemption of Christ when Jesus died and was risen again.
Hebrews 9:15 KJB says,
“And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

We are also told
John 5:24
Ironic that you quote a verse that refutes your belief.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." (John 5:24).
(
Note on John 5:24: The EXB Translation explains that the word "
hear" is to: "
obey."; Meaning, we have to believe in Jesus and obey Him to not perish. Acts of the Apostles 3:23 confirms this. It says that if anyone does not hear that prophet (JESUS), they shall be destroyed).
Your belief breaks that promise, a promise that Jesus emphasizes is true, believing that someone who believes on the Father that sent Jesus, and believes on Jesus, CAN come into condemnation in the future.
Psalm 89:31-34
This passage in Psalms 89 is referring to the Davidic Covenant promise that says that certain of his sons will live physically to carry out his genealogical line forever. David's line was preserved and it would be the line by which the Messiah would come through. It does not mean that the entire line of David was saved. That would mean that his wicked sons who did evil were saved. But to think that a person can sin and still be saved means that a person does not know anything (if that is what you are suggesting). For Paul says if any man does not agree with the words of Jesus Christ and the doctrine according to godliness, he is pround and he knows nothing (1 Timothy 6:3-4). James 4:6 says that God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.
Your beliefs have a faithless God who breaks promises.
Only in your own mind does this accusation exist. Covenant promises come with conditions according to the Bible. I believe the Bible plainly teaches that God does not agree with our sin. You want God to be faithful despite if we rebel or sin against the Lord. But that is not how salvation works. Again, try reading Matthew 13:41-42. Those who are in Christ's kingdom are cast out by Christ's angels because they worked iniquity or sin and they were thrown into the furnace of fire (i.e. the Lake of Fire).
You said:
as far as the verses you quoted, all of that says keep in the faith, keep in the grace, keep in the confidence..
it never says "sin once and you lose your salvation" They don't really defend your belief in a covenant breaking God.
