You're saved.

These last days stink with that lie.
This is true but Christians can revert back to their old ways. Especially if there was never anyone there to help ground them in the word of God. Many of them after they get saved, let's say at a Billy Graham revival, are sent right back into the mess they came out of with no direction. It's only time before they'll wander. I pointed this out to a friend of mine who is an evangelist. What he is doing is great but who follows up on these people after they are saved? There are heresies galore out there and I would say that most churches now deal in lies rather than deal in the truth. John MacArthur stumbles at what all herectics do. They wrest scriptures away from Israel and slapped them onto the church. John MacArthur cannot deal with Matthew-Luke whatsoever because he misses the initial purpose of Christ at his first coming which was to offer the kingdom of heaven to the nation of Israel.

PS Oh, also, your Regular Baptists hold to that 1,000 years in the lake of fire for the Christian stuff too.
