John,

I appreciate this site where we (Christians) can discuss differing beliefs..some primary..some secondary.

I appreciate the feedback from my post, but nobody answered the questions.

I believe most if not all posters to your site fall into category 3 and 4, but you gotta know 1 and 2 are lurking.

I just don't believe you can become unsaved. It's another thing to worry about. "It's finished."

If you sin, it is always on purpose and the same instant the Holy Spirit lets you know.(Heb.12.8)

The same hour you are forgiven, not the next day or altar call (that could be too late).

It must be instantaneous or it could be to late. We are talking a twinkling of an eye here....fast.

Hence...OSAS. That one twinkle could be bad news.
 

The prodigal son was still a son no matter where he went.

When he repented and went home he could communicate with his father again, otherwise he was out of shouting distance even.

His father even dusted him off.

I am expected to sin. I am a sinner, but I am going to try my darndest not to.

I have accepted Jesus as my personal Savior and he expects me to slip and fall, but he picks me up dusts me off and off we go and again I fall..etc...etc...just as I did my children when they fell and my earthly father me. It's a race....remember!

Even Dale Earnhardt crashes.
 

1. Are not saved and know it.

2. Are not saved but think they are.

3. Are saved and know it.

4. Are saved but think they are not
 

John,

Thank you and God bless you real good.
