NO Eternal Security Verses
This spiritual war is raging and has resulted in many apostasies and spiritual tragedies. Don’t be deceived, spiritual tragedies and departures from the faith (apostasies) do occur among the righteous. These NO eternal security verses, related to backsliding, are clear and to the point. According to Scripture, it is possible to:

Specific Apostasies
Specific apostasies start with Adam in Genesis 3 and they stretch throughout the New Testament. Some returned to salvation and some didn't! Among the many apostasies are king David, king Solomon, the apostle Judas Iscariot, the apostle Peter, Demas, Hymenaeus and Philetus (2 Tim 2:17,18) and many who were unnamed. It is for good reason we read:
All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. (Mat 10:22)
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. (Heb 3:14)
