Didn't the Father welcome back home the son who left him to go after worldly pleasures come back to him.
OSAS (once saved always saved) speaks of the son was going to come back unless he was not one of them , that is, 'them' = true faith.
But, what if the son never had come back?
And, how do we know the son was 'born again' (born of Spirit) .
I know, too, Acts says that 'the Holy Spirit had not fallen on them yet,' but isn't , uh, hmm, didn't once the Spirit of God came/fell upon the disciples---as Peter and Bzrnabus said would happen in Acts 12-- wasn't then the Holy Spirit falling on all men who BELIEVED in Christ.
In other words, the Holy Spirit is WITH the believer the moment they become a Christian ( and, don't say 'true Christian, that's silly) , HAVE the Holy Spirit in their temple. He is there, sealed in you, but then can you leave Him is my next quextion.
Ponder this verse repeated at least a couple times in Scripture:
”Don't you know that your body IS a temple of the Holy Spirit?”
So, my question is this: Did that son who ran away, did so by going AGAINST what his father instilled in him of Christ, was that prodigal.son born again BEFORE he left his father ?
