No, what happens is people stop relying on that which keeps them saved.
If you are born, you dont have to keep believing you are to stay so.
So, if you are born again, you dont have to keep believing to stay what you have BECOME, through BIRTH.

NOBODY argues that point. The contention that is being resisted is your ridiculous claim that the person who no longer believes is somehow born again..
The scriptures obliterate your contention that people who don't continue to believe are somehow saved.
John's baptism, of course, is only water. NT baptism is water and Spirit.In these verses, water, or Spirit baptism?
the Spirit in power through water baptism
Sometimes they happen together, sometimes not. It really depends on how it is presented..
If you don't endure in your believing then you don't belong to the household of God:If you are born, you dont have to keep believing you are to stay so.
I have no choice but to put you the category of the spiritually illiterate.Acts 2:38, is not ""the Gospel of the Grace of God"", that Jesus gave to Paul, YEARs later.
So, there is one more NT doctrine that you have no idea exists.
Born again, has happened.
I have no choice but to put you the category of a spiritual moron, lol.
Not the way I see it, no offense, the thief on the cross never went near water and the thief on the cross is "reasoned away" like so many other doctrines.
Show me scripture references that I may obtain a martureo in order for me to receive a gift or a witness and to know my calling and election, a witness to the effect that I was there when our Lord was crucified, died a violent death, and was gloriously resurrected and seated at the right hand of the Father on high.

“…thou standest by faith. Be not highminded,

“Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?” (Hebrews 10:29)
Then you can never go back to unbelief.
“… (Romans 11:20-23)
Born againers can be cut off!
(Hebrews 10:29)
And yet those he ministered to were water baptized.Take about 100 yrs and try to understand why Paul said..>"Christ sent me not to water baptize".
Being born again, is not related to your behavior
When you understand
Why do you have born again people going back to unbelief if you are sure God is in complete and utter control of things?If unbelief after you are born again, has no effect on the New Birth, then, there is no issue.
Its God who controls the New Birth, not your faith, after it has been accepted by God.
Philippians 1:6
Your verse, from Hebrews, is talking to Christ Rejectors.....(Jews) specifically
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
