God is patient, willing that non should perish.
A person has until the day they die to repent, and come to faith, The thief on the cross proves this.
This is not in dispute and I believe this as you stated and the Bible states ...
IF a person decides they don't want salvation they are free to chose to not take it and die in their sin and be judged and thrown into the LOF
Like wise if they decide to accept salvation they die and go tot heaven
but some say the fine print in salvation says:
If a person chooses salvation then they do not become God's children, they become his little mindless automatons and
we can never walk away from him, by rejecting him outright and the work of the cross because he has us forever and our free choice is then an after thought of a communist God. This same God though allows someone to exercise their free choice to die in their sin and go to the LOF.
You are suggesting God is a communist to his children and overrides their free choice and then suggest when said person does forsake God, despite the fruit they might have bore, etc...that ya know they really were not saved to begin with...
God is patient and willing that none shall perish and has no pleasure in the destruction of the wicked, but he will not nor cannot take away your choice, it is agaisnt his very nature....suggesting you cannot lose your salvation I agree with....people stating people cannot walk away from God and his gift of salvation through later rejecting it outright is false....stating those people where never saved is even more dangerous....
I have and sadly known people that were saved and living for God, who due to hurt/offense or a root of bitterness left God, cursed his salvation and cursed the Holy Ghost to my face and went and lived like hell and later when they died....there was no hope for that person...how do I know?...I saw the fear of death manifest upon them....
God never left those people, they left him....
