the bible say's no one can lose his or her salvation once they have it. However, in revelation 15 i think, it also says that who ever adds or takes away from the bible, his name will be taken from the book of life.
*The book of life is what God is going to read when he roll calls us into heaven's gates by name. if we are there, we enter heaven, if our name is not there, well, you get the picture.

from what I understand Jesus will be our lawyer there... he will fight for our case bring us to heaven instead of hell
but if there is strong evidence that we are not worthy of it and should in fact be in some "jail cell" for which the term we need to serve is indefinite then he can't do anything about that

Actually that verse is speaking about the book of Revelation only.
Also the fact it has this warning in it shows the writer is aware of calling his own writing a book and that someone may alter it.
It appears plainly obvious that the writer of revelation 'borrowed' from the book of Ezekiel. Read revelation from start to finish, then immediatly read ezekiel from start to finish, then you will see what I mean. It would be 'borrowed' rather than divinly inspired if you not where the two books differ. Also that the writer of Revelations is trying to make it look as their own work, when it is not entiley his own work.

Here is a better one:
Rev. 22:19 and if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
Anyone who believes in the man-made doctrine of "once saved always saved" is at a loss at to explain how somebody can "have a share in the tree of life" and have it taken away.

All who have recieved (son of God) Jesus Christ as Their savior,and believe that God sent him to be the ultimate sacrifice, to die and rise again on the third day, to go and prepare a place for all who believe,will have thier name in the book of life. Christ died for all,to save all from sin and death. Unfortunatly, there are some who do not believe this,and,well,you get the picture. We need to pray for all to come to the knowledge of the truth. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth,and the life. No one comes to the Father, but by him. JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!

yeah but if you have Salvation with God then why would you alter the bible in the first place? there is another sin that cannot be forgiven as well. And that's denial of the holy spirit.

the point is there is always an exception. A man who commits murder then repents can find salvation. But a man who repeatedly commits murder and asks time and time again for forgiveness will not be given the same salvation.
