Just clarifying....
From reading past posts (debates between You & Bill), our opinions on the subject are a little different but I don't believe OSAS either. I do not believe that God would ever take away our gift of salvation but I do believe that we can still reject God and our salvation.
Although I do not think of being saved as a license to sin, I also believe that with each passing sin (major or minor (if there is such a thing)) that dying between the batch of sins and confessing the sins will not get me denied at Heaven's Gate.
