I don't think anyone is saved for eternity. Everyone who is put here on Earth can be tempted or tested by Satan. It's your own free choice whether or not you want to listen to him. If a person or Christian person is saved for eternity, I don't see why s/he would be placed here on Earth in the first place?

Even after Armageddon, when people will no longer suffer death through old age, the problem of Satan will have a final result. He will be released after the thousand years.
(Revelation 20:3) And he hurled him into the abyss and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while.
This is a final test for those still around.

Because Satan knows that he has lost all that Christ has saved- however if a Christian sins, or is not effective in his/her testimony- then Satan feels that he has won ,because if a Christian is not living his/her testimony less people will want to come to know Jesus. Satan can never snatch a believer out of the hands of Jesus- however he can minimize their effectiveness for God's Kingdom. HOWEVER, always remember- "Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world"

Because Satan goes after the people who seek God more. Real believers are powerful. Satan knows that he doesn't have to go after the people who are doing his evil deeds. He wants to take as many people as he can to hell. A Christian is saved, but can still sin. Anyone can ask Jesus into their heart, it is not just a Christian thing.
Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy. He comes alone like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. You know when you are doing right,believers get attacked a lot in the physical realm and spiritual realm. God Bless!

Satan can't help his self. He will always try to tempt you but the more you are filled with the Spirit of God, Satan will not tempt you as much.
He knows that once you belong to God, he can't snatch you back, because God doesn't allow it. That is scriptural.
Stomp your foot and rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus.

Christians are only saved for eternity if they continue DAILY to serve God. This is a daily walk. We are faced with decisions everyday. It is up to us to make the right ones. Salvation is not a onetime confession it is a lifetime commitment. I got saved 7 years ago but I have to maintain my decision to be saved by continually living holy. Just because I have confessed Jesus as my Lord does not mean I am finished with my obligation. My life is the Lord's.

The idea that a person can be 'once saved , always saved' is not based on Bible truth.
The people that believe in such a thing are fooling themselves.
The Bible clearly says in Matthew 24:13 . . ''.But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. . .''
Yes , endurance in the work of the Lord, accompanied by a life that God approves of (in ALL respects) is necessary to be saved.
Endurance --for how long ?
All our lives.

Because just as Jesus was tempted, so are we to be tempted also.
