I did not mean to be unclear. I do not know if I die reprobate or not. I have hope and I avoid presumption. I cannot thank for what has not happened yet. I do thank Christ for giving me the unmerited gift of His sacrifice.

The dictionary definition of REPROBATE:

Noun -- "One who is predestined to damnation.

Adjective -- "Rejected by God and without hope of salvation."

"Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." -- Romans 1:19-20, 24-25

"For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates." -- 2 Corinthians 13:4-6

Trust God and the faith He gave you in Jesus Christ's righteousness alone.
