No, the false doctrine is losing salvation by grace through faith.Once Saved Always Saved is an invention of men. It is a false doctrine.
The CONTEXT of Romans 11 is NOT the salvation in the body of Christ, therefore you're incorrect from the start.In Romans 11:22, Paul says, “Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off.”
The CONTEXT of Galatians 5:4 is not salvation in the body of Christ... it is talking about how to live the life.In Galatians 5:4, Paul says, “You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.” See how they were united with Christ and in grace before they fell. They lost their salvation.
Gal 5:1 (AKJV/PCE)
(5:1) Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Paul frequently uses this type of hyperbole to express his desire for Christians to "walk in the Spirit". He is not talking about losing his salvation. The translation that you quote leaves out an important detail.1 Corinthians 9:27: “I pummel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.” This is not the language of “once saved always saved.” Paul admits he could be "disqualified"
1Cor 9:27 (AKJV/PCE)
(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.
Paul does NOT say that there is actually "that means".
These three verses that you quote do NOT cancel out the hundreds of verses that talk about our security in Christ. Salvation by grace through faith is not something that is always hanging by a thread or something that is constantly oscillating back and forth.
Just exactly what infraction do you think makes a person "lose their salvation"? We don't earn it. It is Christ that did the work.
Can you lose your salvation? Are you in danger?
