“God’s Holy Spirit says no. He comes to abide in the born again spirit and His presence is eternal life. (SEE 1 JOHN 3:9)”
Yes. So clearly with so much backsliding by folks said to have been born again, there are many false claims to that, among many who count themselves among “the saved”.
PROBABLY SO! But there are three ‘tenses’ to saved: past tense, the moment God births you spiritually, transferring the penaolty for sin onto Jesus on that cross; present tense: by following the urging of the Holy Spirit abiding in the born again spirit we are incrementally saved fromt he power of sin; future, the moment God transforms us in the twinkling of an eye, from 4 dimensional creatures into greater dimensional beings, and take us to The Father’s House (1 John 3:2 ... when he comes for us we shall see Him as He is now because we shall be like him, in glorified bodies with sinless souls/behavior mechanisms). The paast tense is the key, He already paid for all that sin you call backsliding else no one would be saved.
