SOOOOO apparently the chicks are named      Sunny & Gizmo 

Yes, because the wrath prophesied in the law, was coming to those under the law. Christ came to save them from that at that time......

Thank you U for clarifying your view. 

Oh, as well with me. I suppose what I was trying to convey, is that asking a general audience about a term that only people of certain denominations have been exposed to, the answer may only be limited to certain denominations. If asked, what do you find in Scripture that assures you of salvation when you die, others can answer without the limitation of a term not used in their conversation. Perhaps, you may have intended it for a more specific group, and, if that's the case, please forgive my intrusion. My view of Scripture may not offer a welcomed response to a theological stated question. I appreciate your understanding.

The passage you quote is totally out of context. I never said that "the only thing required to obtain eternal security is a simple question of faith" as a statement of fact but as part of a question on the tenant of "Eternal Security". As for how I see faith and/or belief, first let me say that I believe the example of the devil, while I understand the use to illustrate your point, is a unique outlier for comparison purposes to us mere mortals. My opinion is there are five basic groups of people on Earth. Those who have never heard the Gospel and they are becoming far less common. Second, those who have heard and denied it. Third is those that heard the word, believed, at least long enough to make a confession of faith but then returned to their sinful life. Fourth is those who heard the word, believed, made a confession of faith and are attempting to live a Christian life but are being misled by what they are being taught by false teachers and prophets. The fifth group are those who have heard the word, made a confession of faith and are doing their best to live a Christian life based on the Commandments of God and the teachings of Christ and thus are not swayed by the teachings of men. Christ said in Matthew 7:14 "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." for a reason. There are many ways that lead one down that broad path to destruction but only one way to "life" in Christ. Thus, "few there be that find it".
