    As I understand you, no one now living is saved. Not any one. And there is no assurance of not faltering. It is truely hopeless. Those in Matthew 7:23 were not ever saved.

    No brother you misunderstand as I have never stated any such thing. I have only ever stated that it is only those who BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's Word (always present tense; believing) that are His Sheep *JOHN 10:1-10; JOHN 10:26-27? This is the problem that those who thought they were saved but were not and the precise meaning of MATTHEW 7:22-23 and the reason the scripture was quoted. They all believed that they were saved and were following JESUS but practiced sin, not enduring temptation to the end *JAMES 1:12 and lost their salvation.

    God bless
