If I was born from above back in 1971 did I cease to be delivered when I sinned subsequent to my being born from above?
Do you believe I must then earn my way back to being delivered from the wrath to come?
Since your catechisms declare it presumption to believe I was born from above back there in 1871, when will I be delivered from the wrath to come?
Um make that 1971, not 1871 ... Salvation is laughing now. She dismisses any7thing I post because she finds a typo here and there. She even took the time to write that to me in freepmail. So, here’s another chuckle for you, lady.

No, I do not believe that one must earn their way back if they sin.
If I can use the allegory of being in the light, my belief is that when I sin, a cloud forms that darkens the light. But if I am sincerely sorry for my sin not from fear of the consequences but out of love for the Lord, and I ask God’s forgiveness, my God who loves me more than I love myself will forgive me and remove that cloud of darkness.
