I don't believe in the eternal security doctrine. I have no confidence in anyone's salvation nor that of my own if I do not keep his commandments and daily walk in the light.
I know of no scripture that gurantees me or anyone salvation without walking in the light and keeping His commandments.
Furthermore, Jesus said that "He that ENDURETH to the END, the same shall be (future tense) saved. The fear of God is an important element in being saved in the end, which notion is easily preempted by the doctrine of perverted grace.

enduring til the end has nothing to do with salvation but with the tribulation spoken of in matt 24. Paul clearly taught the saints they were saved because of the gospel.
