This is a tough one. My understanding of Scripture is that the believer is sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, indicating your salvation cannot be broken (lost). This is the new Covenant.

However, many people will counter by questioning whether a person who so cavalierly does evil was truly saved in the first place. That’s a fair, but ultimately unanswerable question. It is hard to imagine that anyone who is truly born of the Spirit of God (born again) could kill their own child.

I agree with Paulie; a woman who knows Christ will not abort her child. Jesus represents life, living, love, and light, not darkness, depression, despair, and death.

"It is hard to imagine that anyone who is truly born of the Spirit of God (born again) could kill their own child."

That's my take on it also, brother.
Just last Saturday we got: "hey, we're Christians, we go to church - so go F*** yourselves" - from a young couple going in.

"By their fruits you will know them".

You NAILED it.

Thank you for putting it so succinctly.
