Dear Emile :
A little thought keeps coming back to me in that wonderful message you gave me last week.
You said that Paul said I am saved and I am being saved and I will continue to be saved; or something to that effect.
What did you or "Paul"mean by that.. I am not a once saved and always saved believer, although I am very secure in my salvation, becuase I feel that I can remove myself froms God's grace, not that he would willingly give me up..!
But I can see that a person should not, live in fear of losing their salvation. As far as the scripture of "depart from me ye workers of iniquity, I never knew you", there are a lot of judgemental people that use that verse in a finger pointing way... to me loving is easier to do than judging, and for that reason although I am very sure of my own standing I also try to be very respectful of anothers opinion, especially when I am first meet someone.
But isn't salvation a one time event, when your name is written in the lambs book of life ? .

Also, I would like to introduce you to someone I have become friends with over the SI net. She is a converted Jew, now a Christian, and I just think she is a very special person; however she mentioned that Christian female investors are definitely in the minority, and I feel she would especially enjoy your fellowship.
