1. I suppose the premise for this argument is Man's free will. I know many Christians don't believe in this, but even with Israel in the Old Testament, God asked that they give offering only of their free will. We can presume that our allowances by God to exercise our own decision-making capability extend much further than just giving offering.
This being a given, we choose to accept Jesus, the Christ as Lord and Savior. Yet if "once saved, always saved" were true, that would mean we cannot choose to renounce Him. And while it makes no sense to me, believe me when I say that people have tried. Because we run into that word, always, again, those who would want to renounce Christ would be stuck with Him. By contrast, I would not presume God to be so controlling. To me, God wouldn't want you to stay in relationship with Him if you don't want to. You come and go into God's kingdom as you please.
2. What's more compelling is God's expectation of your holiness. It makes sense that God would expect of you a lifestyle set apart unto Him, i.e. holiness. And Hebrews 12:6 clearly says that without it, you will not see the Father. But supposing you could never lose your salvation anyway, why would you really need holiness?
In truth, God's expectation of your holiness is based on the very high cost He paid for your salvation, i.e. the blood of Christ, and He won't allow you to make a mockery of it. Galatians 6:8 tells us that sowing to our sinful nature or flesh will reap corruption. Romans 6:23 says that the wage of sin is death. These statements are true whether you're saved already or not. Remember, Adam created death, i.e. separation of God in state of perfection and uninhibited relationship with God. He had no sin nature when he was created, but because of his sin, we're born with a sinful nature. If he could create death being perfect, surely we could easily experience spiritual death since we are already born into an imperfect state.
3. Furthermore, if "once saved, always saved" were true, what does "backslide" mean? To me, it means that you've fallen away from the Body of Christ, you've broken relationship with the Father, God. This term is used quite often throughout the Bible by different writers. The context in which these numerous persons over multiple generations used this term appears the same as the definition I just gave. Is this term no longer valid?
4. If "once saved, always saved" is true, what is forgiveness for? It seems clear that forgiveness is God's process by which you return to right-standing with Him, the means by which you re-establish the broken relationship. Not just for your benefit, God established forgiveness as the means by which He could resolve Himself of the resposibility per His Word of holding your sins against you in eternity. If your salvation were never yours to lose, He would ever need to forgive you?
The moment of salvation is rightfully referred to as being "born again". For salvation is the beginning of a life in Christ, not the end. In the same way that an infant is celebrated as he/she enters the world can ultimately can ultimately grow into an adult who is a serial murderer and die strapped to gurney, so can your salvation being celebrated by the angels could be followed by you being disgruntled and choosing to leave the Body of Christ. The choice is yours. People stop attending church all the time for numerous reasons, and normally their heart or Spirit Man left a long time before their body did. Because of this "once saved, always saved" belief, they'll actually believe there's no spiritual consequence for it.
I implore you to recognize the obvious, that life is choice-driven. And regardless of how soothing it is to know you've been protected from yourself by this deception, remaining under the covering of Christ's blood is still one of those life choices.
