No man can judge a man saved or unsaved.
 
I haven’t commented on the debate until now.  I understand why you feel the way you do.
 
It does not matter what words spout from a person’s mouth, it is about what is in their heart.  When you ask for salvation and accept it, God knows what is in your heart.  One can walk the walk and talk the talk but if it didn’t reach the heart then where do they find themselves.
 
Life is a process.  God knows the number of the hairs on our head and the day of our death.  He knows what we have done, are doing and will do.  When you become saved God is infused in your being constantly calling us to grow in the direction he wants us to.  He knows that we are going through this life process and through the developmental parts that everyone has to experience.  He knows what we will do before we do it.  I think pride is what interferes with salvation.

Yes, I believe there will be people in heaven that we did not expect to see and there will people absent that will surprise us too.  I wonder if those prideful people (some maybe even the leaders in churches) will say ‘it can’t be the rapture because I was a believer, I walked the walk and talked the talk and I was left behind.   Or will they fall on their knees and understand that their pride blocked Jesus from their hearts.  God knows what they will do.

I do believe that once you truly allow Jesus in your heart it is a done deal.  He will continue to work on you and through you til the end of your days. It does not matter to me that people want to argue the fact.  It will not change my mind.
 

See you in Heaven,
