Most Christians today would answer that question with affirmation that the answer is "No!"; meaning that a child of God, who has been redeemed by the blood of Jesus cannot lose their salvation.
The proponent of the Gospel of grace is the Apostle Paul and while he promoted the narrative of the power thru the grace of Jesus, he wrote something absolutely stunning in 1Corinthians 9:27;
"But I keep under my body and bring it into subjection; lest that by any means when I preached to others, I myself should be a cast away" Apostle Paul, 1 Cor. 9:27 (KJV).
Notice the part that says "...lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast away..." Paul is saying, there is a condition that if I don't do what is needful, while I may do all these great works for God, I can still become a cast away.
What God does is eternal. Eternity is part of the features of God, so the provision of salvation thru Jesus is constant as God Himself is constant.
But it is not only God that is in the process of salvation; man is also involved. Salvation is made from God to man. Can we say man is as eternal as God? Can we say man stands by their decision as God stands by His words? Can we say man's choices are concretely unchanging as God's? No!
Man can wake up today and say "I love you" and tomorrow, they say "Sorry I now love someone else". Man can say "I will be with you every day" and next thing they have gone miles away. If man's choices are that unstable, it presupposes that man is not as God.
It is God's provision of salvation that is eternal, just as God is love. Our choices can change! So if a man claims that, even though I renege on my commitment to Jesus, I am still saved, he decieves himself.
If you break the conditions of your salvation, because one hell-bound 'preacher' told you nothing is damaged if a child of God goes back to sin, you will become a cast away, same goes for me.
Yes you were blood washed, but if you have now reneged on your commitment, please run back to Jesus and seek His mercy in total humility.
Stop any ministerial activity you are engaged in and make sure you don't take them up until God has cleared you. His mercy is available, but only to humble hearts.
Grace to you and peace 🕊️
