Yep, He sure does. In fact He just burns up everything that isn’t per His will in our soul later on. He then rewrites His Word in our soul. Once we are saved, we are His, whether we are scarred in our souls like spoiled children or not.

He isn’t forcing an unbeliever to become a believer, but he will discipline His children and if need be remove them from this first life early if they act so stubbornly as to no longer ever be in a place to perform anything which might be righteous any more.

I meant to speak of a soul in open, willful, unrepentant rebellion (think blasphemy or the like). Are you saying that even such a person would be forced into Heaven? If so, how do you square that with infinite Justice? Also, if that is the case and He "burns up everything that isn't per His will... later on," (especially given the assumption that I should have mentioned) how is that different that Purgatory for such a soul?
