There's a third view in relation to that passage. The 1st being that one can lose their salvation and the 2nd one that they were never reborn to begin with. <br><br>Since its been some time, I will have to do some digging to completely explain the third view held by some. Maybe some of our experts here will explain it fully. But, it has to do that the 1st view is impossible and the 2nd view does not come into play here. It is speaking of Christians who are in open rebellion and out of fellowship and being disciplined. <br><br>I will have to say that the 2nd view is cleaner.
