But I thought once you were saved, you couldn't be lost?

Or was that a different FReeper who said that?

The letters were addressed to the assemblies, not the individuals in those assemblies. An assembly can start out pure but over time and with new leadership leave what it originally taught. We can see that happening in "churches" today. Even in the Catholic Church there are those who believe that after Vatican 2 it has changed. Read the letters again.
