However, if it is a belief that during these different periods different criteria for salvation were applied, I do see the threat. If the latter is the case, what stops the anti-christ from convincing people a new dispensation has begun and in it salvation is found in a new world religion where we worship the beast (we just don't realize it's the beast).

LOL! Are you suggesting that it is "possible" for the Anti-Christ to deceive the Elect?

Let me ask you, is it possible for anyone to mislead one of God's elect (through some faulty biblical interpretive method or otherwise) to the point where they can lose their salvation?

The Anti-Christ may deceive many. He won't deceive the elect. The sheep will follow Jesus. The goats and pigs and dogs will follow the Anti-Christ. No matter what kind of nonsense the Anti-Christ preaches people will follow him for no other reason than that they hate the real Christ.

Words worth pondering.

Thanks.

You're right. God will preserve the elect.

Have you become a Calvinist?
