1. You're assuming these conditions are static--that they don't change. This is not the case as is seen in Heb 3 where sin can harden the heart turning it into a heart of unbelief whereby the person falls away from the living God.John 15:1 - I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Like I said - does not bear fruit and bears fruit.
2. The "little children" are warned to remain in Him (1 Jn 2:28). What is leading them away? Idols (1 Jn 5:21). So this applies to "real" believers. This is the case in Galatians--"You ran [the race of faith] well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?"
The branch issues from the Vine. It has life. At any point, however, it may stop abiding.Amen! Only he who abides. Only genuine believers abide. In John 8:31-32, Jesus said - If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Those who do not continue demonstrate they are not truly His disciples, as we see in John 6:64-66.
Anyone who abides in Him receives His Spirit--some do not persist in abiding (1 Jn 2:28), because they're breaking God's commands (1 Jn 3:23,24), because they're following idols (1 Jn 5:21), just as stated in Ezekiel, "because they rejected My ordinances, and as for My statutes, they did not walk in them; they even profaned My Sabbaths, for their heart continually went after their idols."Judas Iscariot is a good example. (John 6:64-71; 13:10-11,18; 17:12)
False. The lack of abiding (remaining, continuing) demonstrates a lack of conversion. 1 John 4:13 - By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
