Here's a very good paper on it being one book:


The Book of Life: One Book or Two? | Berean Ministries
Here is a better paper on it being more than one---Rev 20:12 and it only took 48 words

That is the bottom line. God will make sure the names of His children are in the right book

There is no track to receive the Holy Spirit. WE are sealed with the Holy Spirit when we believe the message of our salvation(Eph 1:13). For those who believed they can lose their salvation, Eph 4:30 tells how long the seal of God will last.

Penecotals think they are a step or two above us common Christians. It is amusing they don't eevn know when we receive the Holy Spirit. If they think we don't have it, then we don't

I asked if you have arrived - hoping to get where you are at. But you say you know your destination. The term destination implies that you have not arrived yet.

The way is Christ per John 14:6. I am there. Sounds like we are in the same place to me - assuming you are in Christ.
Not only are ALL Christians in God, we are there by His doing---I Cor 1:30.

I am glad God did it for me. I would mess up a free lunch
