One thing I know, and that is once you are born again and have the Holy spirit dwell in you,.you are no longer under Satan's control. the veil has been removed.you are now out of darkness and reside in the light that gives eternal life. You now belong to Jesus,and will not lose any that is his. That would not look good on God's end at all.Once he snatches you out of the hands of the devil, the devil cannot take you back again. here is what God will do to keep satan from gaining control of you again, He will remove you out of this world ,young and old to keep you from losing your soul. You will inherit eternal life like he promised. Christians that are spirit filled only, not Christians that are not spirit filled. Just like John baptized with water as a sign,so does Jesus baptize with fire, known as the Holy Spirit. His sign that you belong to him. When you are first born again, you are a babe in Christ, a baby like a human baby. you must be first nourished, feed,and clothed. You will begin to grow spiritually like a child grows. You must drink milk as a baby when you are born,and feed soft food that will not choke you. The same way with a new born spirit filled christian. As you grow you get stronger, you learn a little more. as a child you can't jump from 1st grade to 5th grade. you have not learned or been prepared for 5th grade. We know that Jesus did not jump right into preaching the gospel as a human, but grew strong in wisdom and knowledge to adult hood. at the age of 33 years old, he was ready to teach and preach. took Paul 3 years before he was ready.Took the desciples the length of time Jesus called them until his departure. Don't feel bad if you are a baby Christian, because you will not learn unless you are willing to learn. That is why Jesus said you must humble yourself as a little child. They have to be taught as they grow older.
