Hmmmm, A Born Again Christian is harassed by Satan. Remember Job? A very good Christian by God's standards too. Job's wife told him to curse God and die.
Therefore: Once saved always saved is not a true statement... Why does Satan continually battle Christians.
1. Distinguish their effectiveness so they may not tell others about Christ.
2. Take away their salvation

If Job was to have cursed GOd and died, he would have given up his place in heaven...

My opinion

Good logic and interesting theory. However.... Even those who believe "once saved always saved" don't expect sinless living. For example the Southern Baptist Convention's equivalent of our Articles of Faith state that Christians, due to temptation and neglect, may fall into sin, etc. (but still be saved). They (not me) would say that Satan might not be able to keep them out of heaven but he can still mess up their earthly lives.
