You are arguing semantics here, and faith is not about words. It is about belief and what you feel inside yourself. Jesus taught forgiveness. He shed his blood for all of us. That means your soul is bought and paid for. Nothing you do can mess that up. It has been done for you.

I believe that once a person exercises saving faith in Jesus Christ, he or she is forever in the family of God. God never kicks anyone our of his forever family. A number of Scripture passages support this view. For example, in 1 Corinthians 12:13 we are told that at the moment of salvation the Holy Spirit places us in the body of Christ. Once we are infused into the body of Christ, we are never excised from the body. In fact, Ephesians 1:12 and 4:30 indicate that at the moment of believing in Jesus Christ for salvation, we are permanently "sealed" by the Holy Spirit. At that point, we are God's everlasting property. That seal guarantees that we'll make it to heaven.
Moreover, we read in John 10:28-30 that it is the Father's purpose to keep us secure despite anything that might happen once we have trusted in Christ. Nothing can snatch us out of His hands. God's plans cannot be thwarted (Isaiah 14:24). Further, Romans 8:29-30 portrays an unbroken chain that spans from the predestination of believers to their glorification in heaven.
Another fact we need to keep in mind is that Christ regularly prays for each Christian (Hewbews 7:25). With Jesus interceding for us, we are sucure. (His prayers are always answered!)
Of course, the fact that a believer is secure in his salvation does not mean he is free to sin. If the Christian sins and remains in that sin, Scripture says that God will discipline him or her just as a father disciplines his children (see Hebrews 12:7-11).

None of the truly born again believer will ever go to Satan. The Holy Spirit which dwells in you makes sure you do not do that.
Many people who call themselves Christians are not truly born again, and therefore does not have protection of the Holy Spirit.

By the fact that you have become aware of the truth and repented for it, shows that God is still with you. There are alot Christians in the past who attributed bad things to God out of ignorance. You are not the only one, if every believer were truthful, including myself. Once you learn the truth, just turn from your misunderstanding and God will forgive you. God will only hold you accountable for things you knew were right and wrong. If you are ignorant, he will not condemn you.

In Matthew 12:31-32, Jesus said that blasphemy (what you did) will be forgiven man. All you have to do is confess it to Jesus and ask for forgiveness. It is that easy! When Jesus died, he put us in a state of grace and all we have to do is believe and live as good a life as we can, knowing we can't be perfect, but Jesus was so we don't have to be.

of direction, yet extra importantly than CALLING him our Lord (communicate is far less costly, isn't it?) we are taught that, if Christ is actual our Lord, then we could OBEY what he tells us, as our Lord, interior the Bible. maximum folk purely supply lip provider to Jesus' command to "love your enemies," enormously in time of warfare, however the witnesses seem at that as a command that needs to be obeyed constantly. and how many human beings view Jesus as their Lord while it is composed of his command to "bypass, hence, and make disciples of human beings of all the countries...coaching them to observe all the failings I actual have commanded you"? maximum every physique is taught that God's reward for the righteous will basically be heaven, yet did not our Lord it appears that evidently say, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth", too? (Matthew 5:5, the Sermon on the Mount) maximum folk do not understand that Jesus became into quoting from Psalm 37 while he mentioned that (per risk 36 or 38 in case you have a Catholic Bible), and that later on in that comparable Psalm it says, "The righteous shall very own the land and stay therein constantly." (Psalm 37:11, 29) on account that Jesus is our Lord, the witnesses take heavily what he prayed to his Father at John 17:17: "Sanctify them by way of skill of the reality. Your be conscious is reality." so as that they have 5 conferences a week just to learn God's comprehend reality, the Bible, so as that they could comprehend it for themselves and attempt to do what it says. can't do it completely, of direction, yet, as Benjamin Franklin mentioned, the extra you attempt, the closer you will get, besides. Jesus is my Lord and the Lord of all Jehovah's witnesses, and, extra significant than in user-friendly terms asserting so, we coach it by way of our strikes (different than that no-one's appropriate, of direction.) ideal regards, Mike

IN JESUS NAME I PRAY BLESSED FATHER
John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son. 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall
give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
John 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray
the Father for you

The Bible NEVER mentions "accepting Jesus" as a way to salvation.
Mt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven. Only those who do what my Father in heaven wants will enter.
Mt 7:22 “Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord! Lord! Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we drive out demons in your name? Didn’t we do many miracles in your name?’
Mt 7:23 Then I will tell them clearly, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who do evil!’
