Christians and Falling

William Secker said:

"Though Christians be not kept altogether from falling, yet they are kept from falling altogether."

Taken from here

"For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief." (Proverbs 24: 16 KJV)

"The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger." (Job 17: 9 KJV)

Syllogism

1. The truly saved ('righteous') shall persevere ('hold on his way').
2. John, a professing saved/righteous man, did not persevere ('hold on his way').
3. John was not saved/righteous.
