Necto:
can you tell me if you see another option besides the one VW has outline concerning salvation and God's plan for His chosen people in response to when God pricks our heart whenever we sin?

We can either ignore our sins and the convictions of the Holy Spirit, or we can renew our efforts to live a holy and sin free life.
I do not know you, but you have found it fitting to stand up for VW since he does not respond himself.
I have been in prayer about VW for a while. For he is a self proclaimed prophet and his words do not line up with the Bible. He is in a spiritual fog and sees only TWO options, neither of which are what God intends. What is your answer to the conversation? Mine can be found in VW new thread "Behind the veil: part two"
I will lay my cards on the table. I believe in spiritual gifts and I believe everyone who has the Holy Spirit speaks to God in a personal and intimate way, but I also believe the Satan lies and if you are not discerning the deceiving spirits will lead you astray.
do you know the difference between the spirit of prophecy and the spirit of divinations?
one is the Testimony of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the other predicts the future but never gets around to talking about the salvation of Christ. the spirits lie by omission, can you discern between the angels of God and the angels with the false light of Satan?
Acts 16:16-19
New King James Version (NKJV)
16 Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17 This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” 18 And this she did for many days.
But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour. 19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.
