his notes are more specific but even a simple google search provides this:
In his early ministry years, Wesley was barred from preaching in many parish churches and the Methodists were persecuted; he later became widely respected, and by the end of his life, was described as "the best-loved man in England".

that ole Parable of the "Prodigal Son," who had glory and salvation, then THREW IT ALL AWAY [backslide]. let's stop there.
if the lost son remained backslidden, is he still saved?
or, was it when he repented and returned back to his father that he regained his position of salvation?
surely, had he remained backslidden and died, he had no salvation, true?

The New Testament teaches that we must continue in faith until the end.
However that being said, the parable is not about born again Christians and backsliding. It is a parable to teach the Pharisees that their attitude about being upset that sinners where eating with Jesus was wrong. He is saying they are like the elder brother in this parable and they should be glad that sinners who need to repent were interested in what Jesus was teaching.
But as to Christians that backslide and start drinking and fornicating and bar hopping. If they keep living that way they will go to hell.

First you said you heard Benny Hinn repent with your own ears. Then when I posted ironclad proof that he didn't really repent you said we shouldn't throw stones.
Granted, he did make a repentance of sorts. And also granted you heard it. But it wasn't sincere and he didn't truly repent.
