Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Jesus came so all could be saved, so God does call us all in His time not ours.
God did not fail to keep you, you left Him, your free will still at work, God will not force you to stay with Him. The only one responsible for the right action is yourself.

Well, that's not a very productive in a discussion, if we all have to wait until you're dead.
Your death will do just fine.

I was once Christian, and this is not true. I was once taught that God, in his mercy, can 'accept' anyone. If heaven exists, not only Christians will be there.
If you were a Christian you would know that only through Christ can a person be accepted, by your own words you've given evidence that you may have never been a Christian. There are false teachings in many of today's so called Christian churches. You should have studied the scriptures and then questioned the teaching and teachers.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
