I appreciated the reply regarding my older brother. You stated "the devil had him" and I am supposed to pray for him. I have COPD and once he finds out, he will make a beeline to my place, since I live alone, to try to get e free place to stay and abuse me, like he did my parents. Where does it say I have to submit myself to future abuse from a family member? Where does his free will come in if the devil has deceived him and he willingly lives a life of wickedness? I am paraphrasing but didn't Paul, when he discovered a member was sleeping with his mother-in-law, tell the church to remove him and let him go to the devil? Do I not have the right to cut all ties to a brother who hates me and my other siblings guts?
And regarding salvation, I have heard radio ministers preach there are a lot of Christians who think they are saved who instead are going to hell. Is that also the devil at work? Or is this true?
