Give us an example because It sounds like you are saying that willful Irreverence means something, even If that person has not been reborn.
If the person has been reborn then they will be seeking to purify their bodies/minds to match the new creation they have become.GOD has equipped them providing sustenance to them and they will display spiritual fruit.
Glory to GOD.
So then a person can act Irreverent to GOD for men to see and still not be true on the Inside
GOD looks at the heart,man looks at outward appearances.

Do you believe those who live a life of willful irreverence towards God are born again?

Obviously not, but it is the shed blood of Jesus dying on the cross for the remission of sin that leads to salvation. Acting reverent towards God is a manifestation of salvation.

It is impossible for a Christian to choose hell for other people.

It wouldn't be if some Christians had their way. LOL :eek: (They've already decided some people are going to Hell, they just can't figure out a way to make it happen.) It must irk them that they have to leave it up to God.

Doesnt God have like a secret police,Gestapo like group to enforce the rules? Enforcers. I think they get the ocean view apartments in Heaven. The best rooms available anyway.

Now, is it "irreverent" to celebrate at a funeral service? Or to dance in a church building?

Im trying to figure out the point of this thread.
My suspicion is that it is yet another in a VERY long list of a works salvation heresy

I don't trust anyone who thinks they are in a position to judge anyone or anything and claims to understand the mind of God. That shows an immaturity of Faith.

I'm not trying to be flippant, coy or disrespectful to you in any way here. But can you please define willful irreverence. I'm not sure i have seen that term used in the scriptures. Thanks. And then maybe I can have an honest opinion.

The problem with the question is we first have to find out what your personal definition of ""willful irreverence"" is..

People throw about religious Jargon like confetti and often to people can use the same Jargon and have different definitions for it.. That's when people get their wires crossed and communication breaks down..

Hebrews 10: KJV
29 "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"

There are people who believe the doctrine of the Atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ is an unholy thing,, Some people think it is foolishness.. but for some others who are religious it is considered a stumblingblock / stone ( unholy )

1 Corinthians 1: KJV
23 "But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; {24} But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."

Those who mock the Atonement of Jesus are trampling upon His Blood and those who call it an evil doctrine are doing likewise..

You are making a judgement claiming others shouldn't make a judgment.
