If it is 'their' salvation, then yes they can lose it, otherwise salvation is of the Lord.
Jonah 2:9 CSB
[9] but as for me, I will sacrifice to you with a voice of thanksgiving. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD."
If they were born again, then yes, but it wasn't 'their' salvation to begin with, was it?But where they Christian to begin with?

Even then, God has a way of chastising (correcting) His own children...It is true that one who is truly "born again" can start pleasing self and become "carnal" ---worldly and displease God (not a good thing to do).
Yes, you can loose your salvation if you deny Jesus. You will loose your salvation if you take the mark of the beast. We have to overcome till the end. Till our last breath.
I don't see Scripture supporting that. One can lose their favor with God, but if truly sealed by the Holy Spirit they are "born again" and cannot be unborn. A true "child of God" by the new birth may forfeit blessings by carnal ways, and may be disciplined by their Father; and if they continue badly may forfeit much at the "Judgment seat of Christ" in Heaven ---yet will be there as a "child of God".
“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. Matthew 10:32-33
A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury,which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus. Rev 14:9-12

ie. New life started............Consider Jesus’ parable of the sower, which describes the gospel seed being spread on different types of soil. Notice what happens when the truth falls onto one type of heart:
Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.
ie. But nevertheless, new life was still there before God, and that's all that counts...............But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away (Matthew 13:5, 6).
Now, if the seed “immediately sprang up,” it means these people welcomed it into their hearts.
Nope. Jesus makes it abundantly clear that the parable is talking about fruitfulness, not eternal life.They believed what they heard, and the seed sprouted. Thus, if it “withered away,” something that was once living had died. That means some people who have received salvation at some point lost it because they did not grow deeper roots in Christ.
In the parable of the sower, there are four different types of ground.I am always hopeful that many many many will come to the Lord and remain in Him ... judgement of a person is entirely up to the Lord and I'm sure thankful it is!

Even the seed that produced good fruit, at the end of the season still still ends up dead!
In the parable of the sower, there are four different types of ground.
1) The wayside
2) Stony ground
3) Weedy ground
4) Good ground.
No1 is the only one where new birth doesn't happen, and Satan steals the seed away.
Nos2,3 and 4 all result in new birth.
Even though in Nos2 and 3, the stones and weeds result in little or no fruit, the seeds were still germinated to bring new birth, and in the end, that's all that counts.
No 3 produces massive fruit, but its not fruit that gets you into the kingdom, its whether you are born again or not.
Phil2v12Therefore my beloved, just as always you have obeyed, not only as in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.loose or lose?
