Not being a theologian, I'm not very troubled by the theological debates on security, election, etc. But as a follower of Christ I can see the ebb and flow of my life and projecting that into the future can imagine how it would be possible to "start well" but not "end well." Another perspective on this is that someone can through devotion to Christ actually find themselves "outside the fold" so to speak in terms of what the majority call acceptable Christianity. In such a case it really isn't a case of a saint becoming a sinner but of someone finding freedom. My "postlet" was not meant to be authoritative but rather thought-provoking. I'm glad it "provoked" you. Good post, Henry.
