I believe, both in God and God.

That is avoiding what you posted previously.

11In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

The guarantee of our inheritance is on God's side, not ours. We can walk away. The seal is simply the mark - the wax imprint of the ruler's seal. We can break it and refuse it. None of these are a guarantee of salvation; they are only a guarantee of God's promise to us of our inheritance. Read Matthew 25 instead of Ephesians for greater clarity.

Jesus declared that Judgment ahead of time.

That is not Judgement - why is it that you Bahble Believers (t) simply don't get it correct? It is God's promise ot the guarantee of our inheritance. It is up to us to accept or reject. Paul, btw agrees with that.

1 John 5:13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.

You might wish to go to the Greek to find out what this passage truly means. It does not mean guaranteed salvation. You fail again.

True believers are in possession of eternal life NOW in the spiritual level. Their body just needs to catch up.

Fail. Scripture does not support this claim.
