I didn't say he was saved.
I said he was converted.
He still had plenty of life to go before his death, and still more time until the day of judgement.
His salvation will only be determined then.
Yes, he did call Jesus "Lord".
But who knows what he was calling him, twenty years later.
Hopefully, he never faltered or fell away until his end.
He was the worst, indeed, as he at one time persecuted the church.
But he didn't keep persecuting us after his conversion...that we know of.
Yes, a pattern of faithfulness and righteous endurance.
I am not a "dispensationalist", by any definition I am aware of.
Colors don't foster obedience.
And where do see in 1 Tim 1:15 that he was ( the worst ) in the Greek text ??
and I am going to check it right now !
And you believe , His salvation will only be determined THEN , when does that HAPPENED , with a VERSE ??
I do know that Peter was CONVERTED
And I just checked the GREEK TEXT , it reads , I // EIM , is in the GREEK TEXT is in the PRESENT TENSE
and in the INDICATIVE MOOD and means , that you better BELIEVE IT , in the SINGULAR
FIRST // PROPOS , in the NOMINATIVE CASE , in the SIGNULAR .
And I am rght ON , G 4413 and color me RED , WHITE and BLUE
So how was PAUL , then saved , in Rom 10 : 9 and 10 ?
Like to know your HOUGHTS ??
