Respectfully, this is in complete contradiction, not only of Scripture, but also of your very own statement of faith. Your statement of faith says in light of salvation: "We believe salvation is by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by human works. True faith leads to repentance, obedience, and a transformed life through the power of God." Your statement of faith correctly declares that salvation is by God's grace through faith, and not by any human works, yet this article asserts that by our works we can lose our salvation. This is contradictory. If our works cannot bring about our salvation, then neither can our works bring about our loss of salvation. Jesus himself said in John 10 "I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.". We have assurance of salvation because of Christ, and Him alone. If any "fall away", then they were never truly in the hands of Jesus to begin with. I John 2:19 makes this clear "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."
