-Removed-The incident I spoke of was before I had much of any doctrinal understanding of such matters. I was a kid who knew God and my conscience. I was not that clear about the Triune God. I was not a Bible reader or one versed in matters of security or assurance of salvation.
I did not come into an understanding of the assurance of salvation until much latter.
As we speak, right now, do you Divegeester have the assurance of your eternal redemption? Has your kind of theology left you with just a kind of hope to see how things turn out?
I believe one of the first things a new believer should learn is the assurance of eternal life and eternal redemption according to the New Testament.

So you did or did not have the spirit of Christ within you?
Yes. Forever the Spirit of Christ has come to be with me and in me.
Why do you make that a small s ?
That Spirit of Christ is God Himself you know?
And He will be with the disciples FOREVER.
"And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you forever,
Even the Spirit of reality, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him; but you know Him because He abides with you and shall be in you.
I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you." (John 14:16-18)
And I am glad that you have the assurance of your salvation.
