Those who are saved won't jump ship. They've already made the decision that determines their salvation status. They've had faith, and done what was right in God's eyes - done what was necessary to enter heaven.
This post still doesn't prove anything, either, because my original point was that the word saved has permanence to it. It can't be permanent and then not permanent. You're either saved or you're not, there's no in betweens in the salvation of the Most High.
If there is a ship that always competes it's journey, salvation is that ship. God's faithfulness to His covenant ensures that. He said that He would ensure that the world would be blessed through Abraham's seed.
It's also certain that the ship will not arrive empty, because the ship is also called a nation. Abraham was the father of two nations, Ishmael and Isaac.
Genesis 17
5“No longer shall your name be called Abram,
But your name shall be Abraham;
For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
Isaac wasn't a Jew, so the seed is not Jewish, a people who have the law. It is composed of believers who don't have the law. In a family, these are people who are family members, and there are servants. The servants follow rules, the family members make rules, according to what will benefit the family.
Those who are in the nation of Isaac are family. How does one become a family member? By having Christ speak a word to them. Accepted.
John 12
10Jesus said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all
of you.”
11For He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, “Not all of you."
Why did Jesus accept Peter and not Judas? Because Peter had turned from serving the world for worldly treasure, to serving God, for heavenly treasure. Didn't Judas also do the same? Judas claimed he did, claimed he believed God could deliver him from the world into the kingdom, but in his heart he still served the world.
Didn't the miracles done by Jesus convince Judas that he could trust Jesus to lead him into rest? Well Judas promised he would give up serving the world, but when God tested him, he revealed that he was still serving the world. That's why Jesus said, "Not all of you."
Those who are immoral, complain, test God, betray Him, will never enter His rest. God's people will surely be saved, but you have to be part of that group.
Hebrews 3
5Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;
6but Christ
was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
7Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,
“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
8DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKEDME,
AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,
9WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED
Me BY TESTING
Me,
AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS.
10“THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION,
AND SAID, ‘THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIRHEART,
AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS’;
11AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH,
‘THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.’”
1Corinthians 10
6Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved.
7Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, “THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK, AND STOOD UP TO PLAY.”
8Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.
9Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents.
10Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
11Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
12Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall.
The Exodus event is used by Christ, Paul and other writers of Scripture, both OT and NT. You would do well to use it too, because it is an accurate description of the details of salvation.
