Hi Ray,
I stumbled on this trying to find an answer for a forum member. Have you heard of Charles Crosby?
http://ezinearticles.com/?Is-It-Hard-to-Be-Saved?---He-Who-Endures-to-the-End-Shall-Be-Saved&id=463626 Here are the main categories. I thought he was using your material at first, but I think he mixes a lot together.
I was too tired to read it to compare.

Dear Robin: Since his article was short, I read it. Yes, I am sure he had reference to my video on being saved. Here is his interpretation of Matt.24:13.........
"No, there is only one explanation for Matthew 24:13 and it is the one I have given above. I will repeat it here: we have to be already saved in order to endure to the end."
All I have to say to that is: "What a crock."
I skimmed the second link and found this:
"With regards to his point about our 'freewill' he had not understood the issue that it's only being Born Again that gives us freewill. Adam and Eve lost their 'freewill' - the first Adam. We are under the grace of the second Adam and have been restored to an even better position than the first Adam before he fell. We are, in effect, more free than the first Adam so we have freewill if we are Born Again, but the lost and unsaved do not have freewill, they can only do the Devil's will - that is the fallen condition."
As Emeril Lagasse might say: "A-N-O-T-H-E-R crock!"
God be with you,
Ray
