The Bible says that he who endures to the end is the one who will be saved and also talks about those who know the truth and then turn against it--how they are better off never having been born. So, NO, once saved always saved is a church teaching--not a God teaching!!

Depends what you mean by saved. Are you talking about being saved from the madness of following and believing in God and religion? Yes that's possible. Are you talking about being saved from the compost heap? Then no, sorry, because you need to consider this ...
How do you know that God (for you believers) really cares about human beings?
Imagine this. You’ve just bought a new home which you furnish with all sorts of nice fittings and fixtures, then prepare the grounds and garden. You plant a wide range of trees, shrubs, flowers, plants and vegetables. You clip and prune as time goes on, spray the weeds, and generally keep your property in good shape.
Many years pass and your gardens are flourishing, not a weed to be seen anywhere. You head off on holiday, a weed pops up and bugs start to crawl all over it. Not to worry, when you return home you spray the gardens, killing all the bugs and weeds. Everything is back to normal.
Now consider the universe. After billions of years a little planet (weed) called Earth pops up and it’s crawling with bugs called humans. Do you really think the gardener (or creator) really cares about the bugs and weeds? Do you think the gardener cares if he destroys you? Do you think that the bugs (humans) on the weed (Earth) have any idea what’s going on in the rest of garden (universe)? What happens to all human beings is just the same as what happens to all bugs and weeds – universal compost.

Only God knows that. I wouldn't try to get away with anything based on the belief that it is. I think some can lose their salvation, if they turn their back on God forever and never return. (Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.)

I hope not. I'm gonna be pissed if I die and go to Heaven after purposefully leaving the faith 4 years ago. If by the strange workings of the universe it turns out I was wrong in leaving, I still don't to worship the tyrant god of the Bible forever and ever.
