Unless they later change their mind and abandon their faith. In that event it will turn out that their former acceptance of Christ was counterfeit and they had never actually been a Christian at all.
You might want to change your definition of a Christian to: "A christian is someone who continues right up till they die to accept Christ's death and ressurection for their sins."
When you truly accept Jesus' death and ressurection Jesus will save you to the utter most
Heb 7:25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them
Also once you are his no one (that includes yourself) can remove you from His hand.
John 10:28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
It also say if they were one of us they would not have left us
1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us
It is all real simple. You realize you are a sinner in need of salvation. You change the way you are thinking and accept Jesus' death and ressurection as yours through faith. (not a feeling) Now you are in a good relationship with God and He will enable you to do what He has planned for you to do. Real easy.
