All salvation is brought to fruition at the last day. I am amazed at the level of tolerance that is extended to you here at CC. You may not be so fortunate when you have to stand before God and answer for your mutilation of the Gospel of Salvation.
Romans 8:
19For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

We know exactly what that is...
2 Peter 3:9
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
You need to know (you do know) that not everyone is going to repent and go to Heaven.

Are you this obnoxious by nature or do you have to work at it? Your answer demonstrates your ignorance.
You obviously were unaware that the Bible uses the term "saved" in two different ways. Had you known that,
you wouldn't have chosen the verse you did in the context you used it, because it didn't fit. So, by that, you've shown your ignorance of the subject and you're trying to cover for it. But now you've been edified. And you're welcome.
Regarding tolerance, I'm not at all surprised that you would be "amazed" given your lack of understanding of the basics of salvation.
Keep in mind though, that the person who trusts in their works for salvation is calling God a liar and thereby mutilates the Gospel, and that is you.

Amen. "not" "willing" means exactly that. NOT WILLING.
2Pe 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not (G3361) willing (G1014) that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

WOW why so much name calling ? Do you believe the Scriptures today the same as you did when you first started studying them? Have you not grown in your understanding? Who are we, we because i pretty much agree wiht your thoughts though your methods stink, to attack one of God's kids? I know i was saved by His Grace years and years ago yet i thought God needed my help to keep me saved. Time & study opened my spirit to His Grace.
