Can Salvation be Lost ?   Dear Brother Kent Hovind,  Please let me know if this changes your thoughts. 
These verses are not in any certain order but they seem to have a very sobering unity.
I rather be cautious and giving safe warning, rather than be giving leeway that might lead to death. 
May God bless you as you search scripture to see what is true.

Heb 6:4-6  For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5  And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6  If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

(tw: I believe that until a person dies there is a hope of turning away from sin, asking to be forgiven and salvation. Scripture talks about a hardening of heart, God is the judge and he knows our heart such as man cannot.)

John 8:32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 17:17  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:19  And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 
1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 
1John 5:2-3  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.  3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Heb 10:26-29  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28  He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Rom 11:19-22  Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20  Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21  For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22  Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Heb 3:6  But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. 

John 15:1-6  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3  Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6  If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

John 15:9-10 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

John 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

1John 5:2-3 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

John 8:31  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

Col 1:21-23   And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22  In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23  If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

1Tim 2:15  Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 

1John 2:24  Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

Matt 10:22  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Matt 24:10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Matt 24:11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Matt 24:12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Matt 24:13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Mark 4:14-20  The sower soweth the word. Mark 4:15  And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. Mark 4:16  And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; Mark 4:17  And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. Mark 4:18  And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, Mark 4:19  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. Mark 4:20  And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. 

Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 

2Tim 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

Heb 3:13-14   But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

1Cor 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 

Heb 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Heb 6:13  For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Heb 6:14  Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. Heb 6:15  And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Heb 10:35  Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

Jas 1:12  Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 

Matt 18:23-35 ... which owed him ten thousand talents ...  loosed him, and forgave him the debt ...^33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? ^34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.  ^35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. 

 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2Pet 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

1Cor 15:2  By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
