believe so if we totally turn away from him by rejecting the conviction of the holy spirit
in our lives.I say that because as a
new christian i accepted Christ into my
life and the holy spirit was convicting me to surrender my heart to him as Lord and i was resisting him i would not surrender to him fully and so he gave me a choice to either accept him or reject him.I
believe he gives everyone the chance to make that commitment as Lord of there
life.When we make that deeper commitment and follow him he will continue to perfect us through his holy spirit so that we conform to his image.By the way i knew that if i rejected him at that point that was it he would never bother me again i would have been eternally lost the thought was terrifying at the time.There was definitely a spiritual battle being fought over me i was very aware i needed to decide which side i was on.Thankfully i chose the winning one.brentnz
