    At first glance anything can be misconstrewed. hehe
    No offense taken, it is good we understand each other now. <3

    That is exactly what I am saying.
    If we die in unbelief/sin, living sinfully, not following Jesus, we will not have salvation, we will go to hell.

    I am very new to this, but my understanding - as it is now - is that no one is or ever can be perfect (Romans 3:10). Born of flesh or born again, it's just not possible. However, we strive to be perfect (like Jesus) and recognize and repent (ask forgiveness and change our ways) for our sins.

    It is through grace through belief/faith alone that we may enter the Kingdom of God/Heaven (Ephesians 2:8), and true salvation grants us this.

    I really liked this question and learned a lot reading the thread. Thank you!

    Since God gave us free will and Adam's fall opened the door to temptation, there is no way any human being, working in their own strength, can lead a completely sinless life for any length of time. Perfect, therefore, has to mean being focused on growing in your relationship with the Lord (Rom 3:23-24NLT).

    I want to be a coin in God's pocket that He can spend any way He wishes.

    1 Corinthian 13: 10-12

    when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12For(Q) now we see in a mirror dimly, but(R) then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as(S) I have been fully known.:dirol:
    " I'll see you here or I will see you up there or I will see you in the air"!.....Beam me up , Lord!
