I am not answering for the blue deacon but since I agree with his post you are referring to I can say that in my case the answer is no.
You don't have to believe "once saved always saved" to believe the statement deacon made about our salvation being for both past and future sins.
The key is willful sin vs sins we do when we stumble while trying to not sin due to our human nature. I believe if one willfully continues to sin because they think Gods grace will cover them they are not following Jesus and at some point will not be in fellowship with him. I would not be one to judge when a persons salvation is lost and I think it is a lot different than what most old time Pentecostals think but I do think there is a point where one has turned their back on God and rejected salvation.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
