That seems like such a simple question, but it would take pages to give you a complete answer. Put simply, I do not believe that you can lose your salvation...................................but,................................... I believe that you can throw it away. The Bible teaches that the same one who saved you is able to keep you, but it does not say that He will force you to stay against your will.  I offer as an example a pastor, who a few years back, resigned  as minister of his church.  The reason he gave was that he no longer believed what he had been preaching.  He was a believer, now he is not.  Had he died prior to making his decision to no longer believe, he would have gone to Heaven.  Now his future appears to be the lake of fire.  I think that this is rare compared to those who at one time claimed or are claiming to be Christians, only to show their true colors after being tested over time, but yes, it does happen, and when it does, I believe that that person is no longer saved.  God will not force anyone to spend eternity with Him. Hope this answers your question at least to some degree.
