"You misunderstand the Gospel.
- Salvation is by faith in Lord Jesus.
- Faith includes repentance from sin, and is demonstrated in a sanctified life onto righteousness. Only these are saved."
Because it is simple to know, the ones who do as Jesus says believe in Him. It can hardly be shown the ones who do nothing of what Jesus did and said, have any belief in Him.
But because the thought is eternal salvation/saved, is that by continuing in the walk with Jesus, as He walked, or by also remembering how once saved, is told, was not always saved.
( to the person who thinks Jeremiah is example of chosen and saved always, sure, but that's why its told they will be there, but we don't know if we will, be)
Luke 13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out .

7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Again, Israel this time is broken off and the Gentiles chosen.
The Gentiles consider they can do as the countries God destroyed, and who Israel did worse than, by sinning and covering it all up. But, God says/showed no such thing, the judgement of God we see remained the same as always, if we boast, if we do not fear, if we be highminded, we ALSO SHALL BE CUT OFF..
Romans 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
