Then either God will right my ship to show me the error of my ways (discipline, conscience, etc.), or He will take me home before I lose my salvation.
Actually, you don’t, not entirely, because you are in a state of sin right now, just as I and every other human is.
No. While I of course still sin from time to time, I am not "in a state of sin". Such a person is lost and is dead in sin, or a slave to sin. I am not that any longer. Now, I am a slave to righteousness, and in a state of Christ's justification.
That is a fascinating couple of statements.
“If you, F-K have the indwelling knowledge that you are of the elect and you are going to get to Heaven and there’s nothing that anyone can do about it, what if you don’t go and evangelize? What if you don’t do as you are commanded?
Then either God will right my ship to show me the error of my ways (discipline, conscience, etc.), or He will take me home before I lose my salvation. “
Are you saying that if you stop performing as God wants you to, and you resist any of His pressures to do so, then you’ll be taken up to Heaven with Him forever? Wow. Since Heaven is infinitely better than having a Democratic Congress and Senate, then isn’t that a very good reason to stop going about the Lord’s business?
“While I of course still sin from time to time, I am not “in a state of sin”.”
What happens to that sin that is committed from time to time? Is it of any consequence, or no?
Amen.
