Hi Bertot,

While I agree with this statement, is it your conviction that he or she can lose this status (not childhood)but favor in Gods view, depending whether thier conduct is such that is not in correlation with Gods will. Could they ever continue in sinful behavior, then still be in Gods graces.
If you are asking can they go to the point they can lose their salvation, the answer is no.
If you are asking if they can get out of God's will, the answer is yes.
In fact you can get out of His will to the point He will take you on home so you won't be a bad influence on others.
As you hear so many here refer too.
Ananias and Sapphira proved that point when they lied to the Holy Ghost in Acts chapter 5.
They didn't lose their sonship and daughtership but they did lose their life as God removed them from the earth.
God Bless,
