If your answer is yes, then how would you answer this question:
If you believe we no longer have free will after we are saved, then why do we still sin?
If you believe that we no longer have the choice to be saved or not after we are saved, then why does God still allow us to sin?
This idea that God would save us and call us saints even though we still sin is understandable because we are considered righteous in Jesus after we are born again. But does that remove our ability to tell God we don't want the salvation He has provided?
If God does maintain our free choice to sin or not sin, then why does He also not maintain our free choice to have salvation or not have it?
Perhaps God does allow us to have the free choice to reject His salvation that Jesus paid for on the cross after we are born again, but no true believer would ever reject His gift of salvation. But the only being that really knows this is God. Man made doctrines based on what we think God would do based upon bible texts taken out and used for proof while ignoring all the other bible verses that would indicate we must continue in the faith does not convince me.
How is it possible to depart from the faith in latter times if God doesn't allow a saved believer to ever be do that?
1 Timothy 4:1 KJV
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;
2 Timothy 3:1-5 KJV
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
1 Peter 1:2-5 KJV
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
