OSAS = Once Saved Always Saved is true. When you are saved by belief in Jesus Christ with faith alone, then you are permanently saved and cannot lose your salvation. Jesus Christ was killed, buried and risen to pay for all our sins. You are born again, a new creation, permanently clean of all sins, permanently counted as righteous. The Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, who is God, is sealed on you and dwells in you permanently. You are Christfs sheep, kept safe in His hands. Known as Eternal Security too. This is Assurance of Salvation.
Faith Alone in Christ -> Free Gift of Salvation -> Cannot Be Lost
Good Works -> Rewards of Discipleship -> Can Be Lost
You can lose the subjective feeling of joy that can come from salvation aka depressed, regret, guilt, discouraged, because of sin, but never the objective salvation itself!
A person may feel like theyfre not saved, they may not have assurance of salvation, yet still be saved.
In the OT, the Holy Spirit would come and go from people. They were permanently saved by being Counted as Righteous by belief in the LORD. Now after NT, the Holy Spirit aka Holy Ghost permanently dwells inside of every believer when they have faith alone in Christ.

However, on the subject of eternal security, his position was Calvinistic (once saved always saved).
I'm the kind of person who likes to have a sound and reasonable answer to all questions. For example, I might find myself one day in a Baptist church which may have handed me a brochure on the doctrine of eternal security, that is, that once a person was "saved" or "born again," they could not lose their salvation; the gift of eternal life could not be revoked nor lost even by turning away from God or denying Him. I would take the brochure to perhaps the Assembly of God pastor or some other denomination which taught one could lose their salvation. (This, by the way, is what the vast majority of Christians are incorrectly taught). I would wrestle back and forth with the various pastors until I felt I could see which group was right from a Scriptural point of view.
Having bounced back and forth between Calvinistic churches like Southern Baptist, Presbyterian, Reformed, etc., which teach the eternal security of a believer and Arminian type of churches, which comprise most of the rest of the denominations, I became thoroughly convinced that the Doctrine of Eternal Security was Scripturally correct. I cried out greatly to my heavenly Father about this important doctrine and I believe He divinely gave me the assurance the Doctrine of Eternal Security was correct. (I have since made an audio teaching entitled Saved to the Uttermost which dealt with that subject.) Taking that security away from a believer, I felt was putting them back under some system of Law or works. Salvation, according to the Bible is "By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." (Ephesians 2:8,9) If the gift was not earned through works of doing good versus evil and if this gift was life eternal, then it could never be lost or else it would not be eternal. One cannot lose something that is eternal or else it becomes temporary. Jesus promised a quality of life which would pass through all the ages. After death was conquered He would bring us into a fellowship with the Father which is described as the Father being "all in all." (1 Cor. 15:28) (I am not going to get into the dozens of Scriptures found in the Bible which give assurance to the believer that their life is completely secure in Him, but if anyone wants a copy of the tape on the subject, I'll gladly send it to them.)
