"falling away"
By ACTIONS or no longer trusting the death/burial/resurrection of Christ ?
If no longer TRUSTING the DBR that again confirms that ongoing faith/belief/trust is THE requirement to be Eph 4:30 sealed unto redemption
If "falling away" by ACTIONS yet still trusts the DBR, then where are the verses that teach UNsealed c/- ACTIONS ?
Neither does the word BIBLE or TRINITY
UNsealed - have the HS taken from them
What verses did I quote that teach a Eph 4:30 SEALED UNTO REDEMPTION believer can become "UNsealed"" by their 'actions' ?
Again, the verse I quoted was: "..."some shall depart from the faith." That would be the same faith referred to by GodsGrace:
What verses did I quote that show the Holy Spirit left a believer? Read them here.
The Holy Spirit left King Saul because of his "actions" - his repeated, willful disobedience and unrepentant heart, which rendered him unfit to lead God's people. God withdrew this Spirit, who had been given to equip Saul for kingly duties, and allowed an evil spirit to torment him.

Impossible to become unsealed as your presented verses in Ephesians clearly shows
Fact is, once saved always saved is a biblical reality, and the two verses silences any disagreement

What PAULINE verses AFTER Eph 4:30 shows that the HS departed a believer ?
"believer" - some one who trusts only the death/burial/resurrection of Christ for the forgiveness of their sins
No scripture = no discernment.

There are 27 appearances of the word "seal", yet the OP would limit us to just two verses in Ephesians. Regardless, the question initially foisted was easy enough to answer. But, as we have seen, the OP has gone on to reveal an agenda that has little to do with seals and everything to do with the ballyhooed heresy known as OSAS (once saved, always saved).
Folks, dishonest OP's bring debaters into disrepute. Such spin is not worthy of my time and shouldn't be worthy of yours, either.

Is Samuel & Psalms AFTER Eph 4:30 ?
I'll rephrase to avoid confusion
List the verses FROM PAUL after Eph 4:30 that teach a 'believer' had the HS taken away from them by their 'actions'
"believer"- someone who trusts only the death/burial/resurrection of Christ for forgiveness of their sins
and what does Paul teach are the action requirements to be saved/sealed/justified ?
So either Paul is contradicting himself or YOU ARE CONFUSED
Titus 3:
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Gal 2:
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Gal 3:
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Rom 3:
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Eph 2:
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Rom 4:
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Rom 5:
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Rom 11:
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
You want to use "delivered unto satan" to equate becoming UNsaved, Unsealed ?
Let's see:-
1 Cor 5:5
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
No, but you do.
.
Hey Peter, you've posted 500 times since you joined this site just one month ago. You've been quite busy accusing the brethren. For example, here is merely one page of 20 posts where you continually accuse the brethren of not being a Christian with your mantra of "not trusting in only the death/burial/resurrection of Christ."
Is there something you want to get off your chest?

Stop teaching that a Eph 4:30 SEALED UNTO REDEMPTION believer can become UNsealed ( lose the HS) by their actions since nowhere is that taught by Paul.
.
Paul teaches how to be saved/sealed/justified which is by faith and NOT actions.
'Actions' are subject to rewards/loss at the JSOC yet regardless the believer remains eteranlly saved.
"Actions' are NOT a JUSTIFICATION requirement, only belief is.

It is worth readers time to listen to both sides and realize in this matter,only one side is correct. God.
When someone quotes the Old Testament verses that they are proof a New Testament believer can become unsealed by the holy Spirit,they are mistaken.
If we read Acts 2 that is when we learn the holy spirit indwelt believers for the first time.
Whereas, in the Old Testament the holy Spirit came upon,or to, those whom the spirit enlisted to his service. And usually to leaders,kings,prophets.
1 Samuel 16:14
Which is why king David in the Psalm feared his sin with Bathsheba would lead the spirit to abandon him .
Whereas the New Testament Ephesians 1 tells us,God's seal,the indwelling of his holy spirit,is permanent.
13 In Him,you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise, 14 who is a first installment of our inheritance, in regard to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

You are claiming that a Eph 4:30 sealed unto redemption believer by their actions can lose the HS yet that is not supported by Paul.
My only grey area is that some teach 2 Tim 2:13 "cannot deny Himself" teaches a believer remains sealed even if they no longer believe which I find very difficult to believe.

Justification is by faith ALONE & I believe that the faith must be ongoing

Based on the teachings of Paul - Romans to Philemon
ONLY Christ taught Paul The Gospel that saves us today
Gal 1:
11But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Gal 2:2
And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
1 Cor 15:
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Eph 1:13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 4:30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Paul call's it My Gospel, NOBODY else does
What ACTIONS are required by us to be AND REMAIN saved,sealed,justified by That Gospel ?

OSAS, Eternal Security Is A Biblical Reality
John 10:26-30KJV
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
You did not reply to my post giving you an example of some becoming UNSEALED.
Here it is:
2 Peter 2:20-23
. 20For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
21For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.
22It has happened to them according to the true proverb, “A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.”
No.Pray for yourself Doc

YOU needd the prayers Peter Androz.
Every verse you've posted above is about THE LAW or has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Here.
Let's play who can post the most verses:
These are about how we have to do works:
JESUS said that if we do not ACT on His words...
we will be like the foolish man whose house fell.
Matthew 7:26-27
26“Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27“The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
It looks, from the following,
that Jesus knew what He was teaching.

If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?
