In speaking of his immortal soul, he'll not have fallen through the ice until he's died, as I understand it.
A person like Spong has a very hard heart. He's very deceived, so deceived it's sad. Only a 100,000 volt ZOT from God wakes up these people. I pity him and actually am afraid for anyone related to him because sometimes innocent people suffer for someone's disobedience (like King David's little baby).
It seems more correct to say that all men have fallen through the ice, but they may be saved if they grab the lifeline before they die.
