Most personally convincing reasons you don't believe.

I'm going to try again since you did not seem to read the last post I made or you did not understand the implications of what I said.

 What you don't understand is this: Salvation is not something we do. It is not some thing we say nor is it a ceremony. Meaning we are not saved in this life by anything we can do, meaning we can not ever rightfully claim the title 'saved.' That is an award Jesus alone can give. That means any and everything we do in this life is being judged against the fact of whether or not we have atonement for out sins. Which will be determined in the next life.
Meaning,
IF your not saved till your final judgement then one can say once saved always saved, AND STILL say those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven.

How??? The honest atheist asks? (who is reading what I have written) Simple : Once saved means Once you've been accepted into Heaven (AFTER YOUR FINAL JUDGEMENT) You can't do something that either can't be forgiven or you can't do something unforgivable.
which in of it self Means,
IF You can now blaspheme the Holy Spirit, you are not in a state of salvation (You have not been 'saved' yet.)

Do you get it now?

Salvation when ever identified by the bible ALWAYS points forward to a future time. The only time where salvation or being saved becomes a 'past tense' event is in the future, after the resurrection and final judgement in Revelation.

Which means, No one to this point in Human History has been 'saved' yet, and it can still mean that Those who are to be saved can never loose their salvation. Up to that point, we only claim to be followers of Christ. We can only accept the gift of atonement. It does not mean we can live in this life and rightfully claim the title 'saved.'

I read that post and this one, Dripshit.  It's all the usual bullshit.  God doesn't exist, Jesus doesn't exist, heaven and hell don't exist, salvation doesn't exist, the wholly babble is a hideous badly-written collection of evil and fairy tales, and until someone can PROVE that any of that crap does exist I don't need to waste any more time on it.

ah... So the light flickers and FINALLY goes on.

So then, if God does not exist, then why oh, why spend so much time arguing the finer points of salvation, just to loose and default to a generic if all else fails 'god does not exist' argument?

The point of this teeth kicking and victory lap is to have you ask a question rather than try and 'correct' a point you do not fully comprehend.
