Another inherant problem with the thought that once saved, you can be unsaved, or lose your eternal life.
Merriam-Webster defines "hypocrasy" as:
the behavior of people who do things that they tell other people not to do : behavior that does not agree with what someone claims to believe or feel.
1
: a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; especially : the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion
2
: an act or instance of hypocrisy

In Matthew 23, three times Jesus is recorded as calling the Pharisees "hypocrites". (vs. 13-15)
So from Jesus' own words, we see that "hypocrasy' is a sin.
In fact, Paul writes in great detail on this:
"Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things...Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?" -Rom. 2:2, 17-23 (KJV)
Those spoken of in Mt. 7:21-23 are hypocrites.
They boast of the works they did in his name, and yet, they were never known to Jesus as one of His own.
So, having established "hypocrasy" is a sin, Paul, confronts Peter in Galatia saying that Peter was guilty of "hypocrasy"
"But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed." -Gal. 2:11 (KJV)
The Greek word here is "
kataginwskw" (kat-ag-in-o'-sko) which means:
1) to find fault with, blame 2) to accuse, condemn

And this was not the first time Peter sinned, for in Acts 10, it is recorded that Peter, when told by God to do something, disobeyed.
Show me in scriptures, Peter's repentance for his sins.
I have no doubt that he did repent. But the point is, at what point did Peter lose his salvation because he sinned?
And the important part is that "hypocrasy" is a willful sin.
Saying that one can lose their salvation, we have no recourse than to say Peter lost his, and yet, there is no repentance recorded, and yet Peter was still at the First Apostolic Council held in Jerusalem after the Galatia incident. And yet we have Peter's epistles included in the canon of scripture.
So when did Peter lose his salvation, and since he once walked, talked, and was taught by God Himself, was "enlightened" where is it recorded that he was "rewed again unto repentance"?
