When the 1 walks away what does the shepherd do to the 99?
Such may be case in many (to the bolded above) but like it states....IF WE BELIEVE NOT (after belief) HE remains/abides FAITHFUL because he CANNOT DENY HIMSELF
If one has been truly born from above, by faith and the blood of Christ, JESUS will REMAIN FAITHFUL to his promises toward us BECAUSE HE CANNOT DENY HIMSELF<---HIS BLOOD APPLIED, BIRTH BY HIS SPIRIT, and HIS righteousness PUT TO OUR ACCOUNT.
When I see the blood I WILL pass over you.....

It's not like a trade for trade, or working 10 hours per day sort of earning it I speak of. It's like your favorite hobby. I used to play 8/9-ball at the pool halls (billiards) because it's a skill between you and the cue, ball and pocket. I put a lot of effort into being able to see any angle off the bank or or regular shot trying move the cue ball into place for my next shot. When I chose to accept my upbringing (Grandfather and Father as ministers and in church till I could be as far AWAY as I could) and I renewed my walk in God, all of the effort and care I had for shooting pool now went into educating myself concerning God.
I care about my sins when I commit them. I care because I know this is not what God desires of me. So, my effort in general as a follower of God (not working by punching a time clock or I'll give you this for that) because I care is a lot of work and time devoted unto God. You really are not living for God until God consumes most of what you're doing because He desires to be involved in everything. So, you can be working your 9-5 job and still be praising Him while getting a paycheck!!
But basically, If you read the Bible enough to get involved into these discussions. It means, you are putting in effort to learn and be knowledgeable about God. This means you CARE!! This means you are setting time aside from others things to devote to God. It means in technical terms...Your effort, care, time, praying to know God and the scripture is a practical form of work. Because without setting aside, without caring, without giving up time, without praying, without studying, WITHOUT WORKING AND MAKING THE EFFORT, you will never know who God is!!
So please, do not misconstrue my meaning on the term earning or working for your salvation. Because if you do not give up who you used to be, you cannot become who God wants you to be. And that is time, effort, blood, sweat, tears, WORK!!
A true believer works at getting closer to God. A true believer is eating meat, not drinking the babies milk!!
Thanks and thanks for being open the possibilities of a greater understanding of the truth...I cannot answer for anyone who has engaged you....but in all fairness I on occasion pour some heat or let the claws out....... 
Hebrews 6:4-6
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
What do you make of this?
