"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3.16).
When the Holy Spirit enters at new birth and your spirit is quickened with God's life, it is everlasting. God is smart enough to know whom to give His life to at new birth, not to change His mind.
Romans 8:30 declares, "And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified."
Here we can see God determines who is saved then He calls them. How does He determine? He does so by Rom. 8.29 which says He foreknows. He foreknows what? Their free-choice, like Abel's freewill offering, to be once-saved always saved!
