questions on your faith here

[Bluetree]

do you believe in "faith alone" salvation, but that salvation is conditional despite that?

First I want to say that yes about the faith alone leads to salvation question. I am not sure what you mean about conditions after that be let me say this. Faith without works is dead. With that said I belive that one can reject their faith. Myself the judge is still out on wheater we are OSAS but studying about it. I do believe, however, that christianity is a life journey that alot of churches forget about. It seems there are many denoms out there that once they get you saved that is it. I think that is wrong thinking salvation is the first step on a life long journey. Anyway, is faith/salvation conditional yes. If you talk the talk you gatta walk the walk. Can it be lost ??????

First let me say I agree with what you said here. Nicely put, to BTW.
As far as the question of "losing your salvation?" I don't think you "lose" it in the sense of having it taken away or forgotten about, but I do believe you can "give" it away--by rejecting God and His gift of grace. Some will say this means you were never really saved, but then you get into the question of how do you know if you are saved or not. And to me this leads to people questioning their own or (saddly) another's faith. I take it on faith that I am saved, but if I ever chose to turn my back on God I know that I will be lost.

Yes!! It is possible to walk away. Once you are saved, GOD will not push you out of His hand-but YOU can jump.

It all rides on the sincere heart of the believer; by faith alone.
