[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]Hi,[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]I have a question regarding Romans 11:29, "God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable".[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]I know there is a context to this passage regarding the Hebrew nation. But I was just wondering if this could also be applied to salvation?[/FONT]

No, I believe that refers to his calling in your life as a Christian, if He has called you to missions, preaching, teaching, etc.

I think it is. My belief is that people who are saved are never not saved. God knows who will be saved and not saved in the end, so how could you be saved at one point in time and not at another? God knows when you will die, so if you are not saved when you die, then how could you have been saved before, when it wouldn't have mattered anyway because you weren't going to die.

I think you are putting the cart before the horse here. You are trumping salvation with predestination. While I am not a calvanists, so I don't hold that viewpoint, even if I were, the Bible clearly states the moment you are saved (which is the moment the Holy Spirit comes to inhabit you), is when you confess Jesus Christ as Lord and believe what the Bible says is truth.
