So you believe that after one has "believed on Christ" it is not possible for them to choose to cast away Christ's complete and perfect gift?

If you mean do I believe that someone doesn't sin after after coming to Christ, then I would say no, I believe people can and do sin after coming to Christ.

If that is not what you meant could you clarify a bit more? I'm not trying to dodge, I'm trying to understand your question in order to give you a good answer.

ksen: Who keeps your home in Heaven secure? God? Or you through your own performance/obedience?

Wordsmith: If the home in Heaven is secure, is it no longer possible to choose to not take up residence there?

That is correct. We can no longer choose if we will go to Heaven or not (I changed "want" to "will" because we can "want" to do anything, that doesn't mean it will happen). Once we have believed on Christ, our eternal destination is secure, kept by the power of God.

Dave, I will answer your post later tonight. I don't want you to think that I am ignoring your posts.

If you wish, I'd appreciate your response - in your own words please - to what "believed on Christ" means as used in your last post.

I.e., what is meant by this, in terms of what one does, experiences, thinks, knows, experiences, etc. when one "believes on Christ."
