A believer does not lose his salvation...
Yes He does--
Isa 50:1 Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
Can a person's name be blotted out of the Book of Life?
When God asks "where is the bill of divorcement" He is saying there is none
Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also. (Jeremiah 3:8 NKJV)
Jeremiah 3:14 Return o backsliding children for I am married unto thee
Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also. (Jeremiah 3:8 NKJV)
When I was unsaved I believed one could lose salvation. Of course I had no idea how one goes from death to life.

Me too. But once you really trust him, you quit worrying about it.
Dead to Law = can't be condemned.
If you are truly dead then you would not sin.

You are ignorant. The believer is divinely, judicially reckoned as having died with Christ and to the principle of law righteousness, while the old man of flesh - who is not the believer, only with the believer - is still very much alive and kicking. In a word...grace.

Then why did Paul tell the Roman Christians they had to reckon themselves dead to sin, if it was impossible for them to sin.
You carry the lesson into the wrong teaching.
If you are IN Christ then your old man is dead.
That simply means that if you continue to sin then you have not reckoned with your high position IN Christ, NOT that you can not sin, as Nick M claims.
