Many people teach that a member of the New Testament Church can die in a lost condition, even though they can't cite one Scripture that gives an example of the following; 1. A member of the New Testament Church who was saved twice. 2. A member of the New Testament Church who died in a lost condition.  Here is an interesting observation that I have made.  Why doesn't anyone who teaches losing Salvation theology cite  1Cor. 11:27-34 in defense of their doctrine?  It has all the elements needed, one would suppose, for this to take place. 1.  They had sinned   2.  They had died in this condition.  3.  They were "condemned".  This would be a perfect example to use in support of " dying lost".  The reason they do not is that they as we know that they would be teaching a lie. They know that the ones who " died " here died as judged,disciplined, chastened, children of God, not as severed,unadopted,eternally separated enemies of God.  Here are the reasons;  It is clear from the context of this Scripture that damnation,judged, and condemnation are the same.  Why?  The judgement applied( damnation) was twofold.  1. Weakness and sickness and 2. Death, indicating different degrees of judgement.  From this passage, the member of the Lord's Church has two options;1. Judge yourself before you partake and 2. Be judged after you partake unworthily. It is crystal clear that the word "Lord" is used as the one who judges, indicating headship on His part and membership on our part, of His Church.  Verse Thirty-two brings the whole flow of the context into pinpoint clarity; When we partake of the Lord's supper unworthily, we will be judged one of two ways.  1. Become weak or sick  2. Die as a result of being judged by our Lord.  The end result is that we won't be condemned with the world ( die as an unbelieving enemy of God). I have read several "losing Salvation" theology articles and I have yet to see an apologist of this doctrine use this passage of Scripture in defense of their belief.
