Can you please use the Bible to back this up? I have heard that we are sealed by the Holy Spirit at salvation before but I have never really seen Bible verses to back this up before.
Christ through His death and resurrection, every legal hindrance has been met and satisfied. There is nothing that can keep me from the promise. Its not about thinking our way into salvation or to reason our way into salvation. The only way to get in is to believe Him with my heart which is sealed by the Holy Spirit through the gift of Faith, through Jesus Christ, His grace and the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
