Is MAD ethics and or morals void? Is MAD ethics even Christian?

The Plot only mentions "day of redemption" twice and both cases are to contrast being sealed unto the day of redemption with "enduring to the end". (i.e., law vs grace, dispensational distinctions).
I figured. I've read the book a few times. Chances are good that I'd remember it if this teaching was in there.
It's going to for sure be in the Bible Studies. Likely in the set of studies on Ephesians.

Neither say that. You are reading things into the text.

For those who are not severely backslidden, there'd be no choice to make.


100% true - even for the severely backslidden, at least for some period of time.
so you're saying God mistakenly takes people to heaven
and then they have a choice ,only on judgement day , not based on faith

determined before judgement day
(II Corinthians 5:8) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord
This doesn't apply at all because no one in this parable was a member of the Body of Christ, neither was sealed by the Holy Spirit and both were very definitely capable of losing their salvation and so had either of them become "severely backslidden" they would have gone to Hell anyway. Thus, this passage doesn't apply even a little bit to this discussion.
your faith determines your destination

your will doesn't determine your destination after death but it can only if God mistakenly takes you to heaven do you get a choice

seems more of an open theism belief not biblical , Modus operandi

your faith determines your destination before judgement day
(Luke 16:22-23) [22] And it came to pass for the poor man to die and be carried by the agents to Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died and was buried. [23] And having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus by his bosom.

do you think satan knew about the lake of fire & that it would be his eternal punishment before he fell ?
I know the demons know now Mat 8:29
