RE>>Firstly, I agree with the statement about the bible and Jesus... The former can only tell you a story, the latter can actually save you. Nothing else can, as I'm sure you'll agree. <<

How about this...
The Bible without Jesus is just a bunch of Words - Jesus without the Bible is just another Word !

If I built a wooden statue and then I adorn it with gold and silver. I set it up a stand and then at the Bottom of it I fasten a Name Plate that says "JESUS" if I worship it is it really Jesus ?

The Bible teaches none of God's Elect will be lost. God's Graces is irresistible... if they walked and stayed that way it was because they were never really saved look :

1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

If someone leaves it proves they were not HIS not that God can be resisted .

God teaches that HIS SHEEP are KEPT :

1Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

We do not chose God.. God choses us and keeps all those whom He choses by the power of His Hand.

Here is the mystery ~~~~

Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

J-14 .. If you are born again by the POWER of GOD's HOLY SPIRIT granting you a new heart and mind then you can sleep well at night . Jesus will lose none of those whom the Father has Given HIM.
This so-called Jesus that trys to save and fails is a false Christ.
