Kevin,

Yes, you would have to ignore some very clear scriptures in order to
accept that doctrine. For example, He 6:4-6,

"It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have
tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who
have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the
coming age, 6 if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance,
because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again
and subjecting him to public disgrace." (NIV)

Even though these people were 'saved' (they tasted the heavenly gift,
shared in the Holy Spirit, tasted the goodness of the word of God, and
tasted the powers of the coming age) it still will be "impossible" for
them to be "brought back to repentance" because of their bad conduct.
They will be 'lost' forever.

The founder of Christianity made this statement at Mt 24:13,

"But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved." (NASB)

Thus according to the founder himself, attaining salvation is an
ongoing conditional situation, only achieved at the "end".


Sincerely, James
