I'm astonished any survived the flood...there is no record of Noah taking any fish onto the ark...
Fertilized fish eggs left in the water?

When God truly converts, a work in the heart begins and continues until the day of Jesus Christ.

The answer is no, there is no such Biblical example; and there wouldn't be, either, because passages such as Philippians 1 show that God finishes what He starts!That still doesn't answer.
@Taken 's question was :-
"Can you find anywhere in Scripture whereby a man is Converted and then NOT Converted?"
To which you answered
"If a person was not truly converted, then s/he was never truly converted in the first place."
I can't see that your answer is to her question!!
But I will let it drop now. Bless you. H

Can you explain how you can see by -
Phil 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"
Is showing that a person wasn't really converted in the first place!!
Ref @Taken 's quote in post #16?
Your answer to her question was...
"If a person was not truly converted, then s/he was never truly converted in the first place."
I am getting a bit confused here.
The answer is simple. God said he was going to destroy all land and air life. Not one word about destroying water life.
True, sea animals were not mentioned as being destroyed because of the flood. Sort of preposterous to kill a sea animal, because it's natural habitat was enlarged.
A tid-bit I find interesting,
In Jesus' day particularly, fish out of the sea was a common food for men to consume regularly.
In the New Earth there shall be no more sea.
Rev 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

"Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done." Acts 8:13Can you find anywhere in Scripture whereby a man is Converted and then NOT Converted?

He believed and was baptized. Some call that being saved, but then later we read...

"Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the though of thine heart may be forgiven thee." Acts 8:19-22
You and others certainly may not agree, but it seems to me that he repented in order to believe and be baptized... but later when he tried to buy the power that Peter had, he was told he needed to repent.
For every scriptural explanation by one there is another explanation by another. I have my own testimony, which would fill the bill, but the poster asked for scripture. To me that one fills the bill, but of course... this is also one of those with another interpretation.The need for repentance is not limited, at times, to the unsaved.
Contrary to what some believe no one can achieve total sanctification in the saved can seriously error.
But they are still saved. Conditional salvation is false, it is nailing Christ on the cross again.
Baptism was not even mentioned here. Salvation was not mentioned either.

So if a Christian is saved by faith in Christ, but takes their own life.. they are still saved?
Because 1st Corinithians 3:16-17 doesn't justify this.. and I can't find anywhere in scripture that says if a believer is saved but then takes their own life they are still saved..
Piano,
Which is the only unpardonable sin?
