Post 777 is accurate, concise, and succinct.

The rest of it is between you and God. Any hurt you sense or imply as an offense indicates Post 777 is true. Any lack of hurt indicates the argument is contrived.

Any encouragement or apology by any other person, including myself to the contrary merely would condone judging you and interfere between your relationship with Him.

Where love has been offered you otherwise, it has been rejected.

Here is a basic which every Christian should intuitively understand and not argue over but rejoice regardless. I provide it not to insult, nor to make myself higher, but as the only guidance I know as infallible if I am to act at all.

It is truly sad that you are unable to see that questioning someone's salvation because he has the courage of his convictions to stand up to what he perceives as error, is itself an error, and an insult to fellow believer in Christ. For some reason, you seem to equate an apology with capitulation and admitting that your entire system of theology is equally in error. The apology is for one thing and one thing only: Questioning the salvation of someone for whom Christ has died and bought with His own Blood, based on that person's opposition to you in several points of doctrine. Conformity of theology is not an indicator of any person's standing with God, except in the areas of heresy against the Atonement, the Person of Jesus Christ, or the Godhead. You seem to think otherwise. If you thought I didn't understand what you were saying, then it was your responsibility to clear that up with clear language, not to turn around and question my standing before God, and doing so publicly. If you had approached me privately, we could have solved it privately. You took it public, made public statements injurious and libelous to me, and now you adopt the attitude that you were "only doing your Christian duty". Poppycock!

I think you have made it quite plain that you feel you did me no injury, and it is equally plain to others here that you, in fact, did. If you will not apologize, your sin is on your own head. Posting charts and acting superior does not shine a flattering light on you, and it is clear that you are very concerned with how you are perceived by others. Unfortunately you do not accord to others what you hold so dear for yourself.
