If i accept Jesus when I'm young and reject Jesus when i get older am i still saved?
So, if all this is true, then regardless of how many very stupid and bad choices you make when older, recipients of eternal life shall never perish, per Jesus in John 10:28.
However, I don't recommend it. The Bible also teaches that God's discipline towards His children is PAINFUL. Heb 12:11. See also 1 Cor 11:30, 1 Cor 5:5, 1 Tim 1:19,20.
Do you believe in probation?
I do believe in Eternal security once we are judged.
Until the judgement day or our probation ends God does not force us to remain in His grace saved.
Saul, or Paul in the old testament was faithfull at first but ended up being unfaithful. 1 Sam 9...
1 Sam 28:19 - The LORD will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”
Now, just what do you suppose Samuel was referring to by "be with me tomorrow"? Just some hole in the ground? No. He was a believer and was in Paradise.
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Unbelievers, however, will physically die TWICE. The second physical death will be when they are cast into the LOF.
Rom 14: 10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ...... 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
2Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
The Bema will occur after ALL believers are resurrected/glorified when He comes.
