Should I have used the word "reasoning", would that have been more suitable? Yes, I did read the verses. But please tell me this so I have a better understand here, if a believer is permanently saved from God's judgement, why repent and ask to be forgiven? Isn't that what salvation is, to be...

Yes, Christ knew his heart, and Peter definitely knew who he believed in, but he still denied him. Or rather, Peter lied out of fear. Peter still sinned or am I mistaken?

1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. This is the verse that come to mind when I gave the example. I mentioned so as to remind that we must always strive to serve while being in the process of being saved...

Well, Peter denied Christ three times and we know his outcome.

I have been speaking very plainly here. But again, I will try to get my view across. Very simply, using myself as an example, I'm in the process of being saved. He has not returned, so, my salvation is ongoing. When we enter eternity with Christ, what are we being saved from? Nothing. Our...

I felt as though this was a personal attack. In fact, I really just felt embarrassed and wanted to leave. But after...

I'm curious, have you ever read Matthew 7:22-23? This should, if not already, be the scariest part of scripture in all of God's Word for us who believe: that there is the possibility that Messiah will reject you. This needs to be the backbone of our faith. This should encourage us to work out...

To those whom I may offend with this image, I forgive you.

What you're asking is of a very dangerous nature. You should never rely on someone's personal experiences as a form of truth. Only what God says on a matter is what we should trust. Seeing as how you "know the verses well", you already have the answer you seek. Or perhaps this is not so? Simply...
