if you are truly saved then you can NEVER loose your salvation.

if you have fallen into sin then you need to repent and turn away from it. but it does not mean you are not saved. every one sins but "iIf we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9

Not at all. Like I said before - free will exists throughout this life. Nothing negates that. We all have the choice in what to believe.

Though I have heard this argument against me time and time again. I left Christianity because I wasn't really saved. A real saved person would never have left the true God. I was a devout Christian - had a close personal relationship with Jesus. I devoted my life to teaching others about Jesus. But since I left Christianity I wasn't really a Christian to begin with. Please.

Like I said before - free will is always there. Check out the letters of Paul. He warns against falling away from God. He seemed to believe it was a possibility. Can't argue with that.

That is a very arministic question...
If you are truly saved, then you will never lose your salvation:
consider : John 3:3 In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." - Born again sounds as a permanent idea here. You can not be "unborn"
also there are passages in the bible stating that God will judge according to those who believe, their thoughts. Not their actions: but their mind :"since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares." Romans 2:15-16
plus, where is the line drawn then? if you can lose your salvation then you would have to watch what you do. Ask yourself, if i do this, then is that going past the line of salvation? will i lose my salvation if i do this??

What you are really asking is what is the nature of salvation? What does it mean to "be saved?" Are you saved from something? Or saved for something? You are looking at it like joining a club or something that you then want to "unjoin." For me it's not about "being saved" it's about following Jesus on the way, it's a journey. The earliest Christian movement was known as "the way." Faith is a journey, and it's not all about the rewards or punishments at the end.

Are you looking to get unsaved for some reason? It's not what you do that saves you, but rather, receiving Jesus Christ into your heart as the LORD of your life. If you are saved, nobody is going to pull you out of Jesus' hand. It's possible for saved Christians to "backslide", but even if that happens, you will not lose your salvation. It is also possible that a person may think himself saved but not really be saved.

Well, I don't think I understand what you're asking. Romans 10:9-10 says (Amplified Bible), "Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation."

Now, I believe this means you will be saved beyond a shadow of a doubt. To answer the second part of your question, I believe that it's possible you can drift away from God to the point where you anger Him, and His Word says you will NOT enter into His rest. Hebrews 3:11-13 (Amplified Bible) says this:

"11Accordingly, I swore in My wrath and indignation, They shall not enter into My rest.(A)

12[Therefore beware] brethren, take care, lest there be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to cleave to, trust in, and rely on Him], leading you to turn away and desert or stand aloof from the living God.

13But instead warn (admonish, urge, and encourage) one another every day, as long as it is called Today, that none of you may be hardened [into settled rebellion] by the deceitfulness of sin [by the fraudulence, the stratagem, the trickery which the delusive glamor of his sin may play on him]."

I hope this clarifies just a bit of the issue you're facing. Feel free to reach out anytime if you need more info!

1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us: but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.

I would suggest that you read the Book of 1 John through. You will have a much better understanding of which people are "saved" and which are "not saved".

The Methodist say you can be resaved. Ask them. And you can loose it again and be resaved, which is why they say, just stay saved in the first place, and just continue to work on it and you don't have to do that. But then it feels like to me, its works and the gift of salvation is a free gift, not something you have to work for. But thats just me.

Saved, unsaved. It really does not matter. Both ways, you are still alive. So, what will you do with your life? Don't you think it is better to deal with what you know, the present life you have, than to worry about an afterlife that no one knows exists.
