On what day? It seems that you have invented a "day of decision". That day does not exist.
Now which of us is being dishonest, RD?
The Day of Redemption is the day we are discussing. I'm pretty sure you knew that already.
I cannot refute something that does not exist.
Then don't refute anything. Just respond to the following....
A woman grows up in church, becomes a believer in Christ and is genuinely saved. Later in life, she allows sin to pile up, she surrounds herself with fools, maybe she experiences serious tragedy in her life that she is taught is part of God's plan, and by whatever means she allows her heart to grow cold, and bitterness becomes the theme of her life to the point that she despises God and everything righteous is seen as evil in her eyes.
When the day of redemption comes - whenever that is and whatever it entails is beside the point - whenever it comes she will be there, if for no other reason, because of the Holy Spirit which was given to her as a guarantee. Now, the question is, what happens once she is there? I see that there are three and only three possibilities...
Option 1: She joyfully embraces God as He truly is
If this is your answer, then you're conceding my core point without realizing it.
By taking this option, you'd be effectively admitting that what matters is not the profession alone, but whether the will ultimately aligns with God’s righteousness once truth is fully revealed. That means the decisive factor is what one loves when the truth is known.
Option 2: She hates God’s righteousness and rejects Him
This answer would explicitly endorse my position by acknowledging that a person can be sealed and delivered, but still refuse fellowship with God when confronted with who He actually is. At that point, the only remaining question is whether God forces eternal fellowship on someone who despises Him, which leads to the third option...
Option 3: God forcibly alters her will so that she embraces Him
This is the option that I think most Christians implicitly assume without ever admitting it.
This option is the equivalent of saying that love, allegiance, and worship are manufactured by divine fiat, not freely given. That reduces heaven to a kind of moral reprogramming, not a real relationship.
Options 1 & 2 acknowledge my position, either tacitly or explicitly. Option 3 denies free will, which collapses the concepts of love, relationship, righteousness, faith, allegiance, etc. and turns God into either a kidnapper who holds people against their will or Calvin's version of God who alters our will by fiat.
If there is a fourth option, I can't see it. The only other thing I've been able to come up with is some sort of secondary area where such people are removed from the regular part of heaven but not condemned either. The idea being a place where they can be rehabilitated. This idea sounds more and more and more like a jailhouse in heaven. Meaning that it becomes more and more absurd the longer you think about it. If standing face to face with God Himself doesn't rehabilitate you, then no amount of counseling or education or reprogramming is going to do it.
Now, just because I can't think of a viable fourth option doesn't mean there isn't one. Maybe you can come up with something I haven't thought of that renders the whole issue moot. If so, I really am eager to hear of it.
Maybe there is no need for a fourth option. As I granted a few posts ago, it could well be that there turns out to be no such person who decides to reject God (option 2). I am not here suggesting that there MUST be people who do so, but simply that because we have free will and because God is not a magician and cannot force someone to love Him, then the possibility of such a person exists. There is an important difference between will not and cannot.
Lastly, to reiterate, my position here is based on the biblical fact that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit "unto the day of redemption", that this seal cannot be broken apart from God forfeiting His earnest payment, which is Himself, and on the fact that relationship, love, righteousness and all things moral are volitional by their very nature and cannot be coerced or otherwise forced, which is a concept that is ubiquitous throughout very nearly all of Christian philosophy, most especially the scripture. In short, this is not conjecture or mere speculation but a rational line of reasoning based on clearly taught biblical precepts that are not in dispute.
(2:6) And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus: (2:7) That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (2:8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: (2:9) Not of works, lest any man should boast.
