I hope it will bring them to repentance, and a better understanding of what Jesus really accomplished with His death and resurrection
I would hope they would seek Godly counsel, and get the truth
Umm I have never accused anyone of loosing their salvation??????? Although I do hope that if I see a brother in sin, I would be able to restor him in a spirit of meekness
The Word tells us in 1st John that we have confidence in ouyr salvation when we are like Christ.
1st John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
This may not be what you do or even want to believe, but it is God's truth nonetheless

Luke 4:41
And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
question: do demons always lie? or do they sin through disobedience and speaking things out time and place against the will of God?

zone attacks ideas not people, some people just think they are their ideas and so feel attacked when those ideas are disputed.
its very hard to discuss anything with a person who has no respect for you and very hard to love anyone if there is no respect.
If nothing else I respect the time and effort God has taken with every single person I meet because GOD hand a hand in their creation. He gives them the air they breathe, He watches and raises them according to His will. if they stray He disciplines them. As long as a person is still breathing then there is hope they will come to confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and turn in true repentance of their sin and disobedience. If God is merciful, then how can we be any less? If you think God loves you and lead you to were you are why do you deny His ability to do the same for others?
"This letter-preaching deals with the surface and shadow of things, and not the things themselves. It does not penetrate the inner part. It has no deep insight into, no strong grasp of, the hidden life of God’s Word. It is true to the outside, but the outside is the hull which must be broken and penetrated for the kernel. The letter may be dressed so as to attract and be fashionable, but the attraction is not toward God nor is the fashion for heaven. The failure is in the preacher. God has not made him. He has never been in the hands of God like clay in the hands of the potter. He has been busy about the sermon, its thought and finish, its drawing and impressive forces; but the deep things of God have never been sought, studied, fathomed, experienced by him." - EM Bounds

alright let me reword that,
Zone should attack ideas not people. sorry I have no control over other people.
but just because you can pull out what you see is wrong in her behavior, does that justify using the same tactics when responding?
you are so busy finding fault in others you never stop and actually listen to what is being said.
