Did they have FAITH in him? Did they experience Gods true love? Did they know and understand that God is a loving God, and when they trust him, he does what he promises, WHen they do not, they crash and burn?
Or did they just merely believe jesus? (Even demons believe)

Did jesus place conditions on them? Eternal life. Never hunger and thirst, the state of being in christ, and the state of being sealed with the spirit.
Why did he not call it conditional life, if it was conditional on somethign we do or not do
How about the seal of the spirit. Why did he tell us UNTIL the day of redemption. (Unconditional) And NOT tell us or until we fail to do or live up to his standard (condition)
11 For if we died with him, we will also live with him; 12 if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us; 13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
Yep. But shipwrecked faith does not mean it is lost completley.. Remember, faith of a mustard seed can cause us to move a mountain. Thats not much faith.
And in the same passage you wrote of. It says if we are faithless, he remains faithful he can not deny himself.
You see if he takes back his salvation, He must deny himself
Peter, who denied Christ three times, also wrote that there will be false teachers who deny the Master who bought them and bring swift destruction on themselves.
It would appear that Peter was differentiating between his denial and theirs. And it is possible that the underlying word for denial in Peter's case is/was different from the one used to describe the fate of those false teachers.
Itll be interesting to see the lambs book of life with all those names written in, then x'd out. Then written back in, then x'd out again, over and over.
Is this notion like being gender fluid? I identify as being saved today, but maybe not tomorrow.
