No ? I think too many Christians never were born again or had any kind of expirence to be saved at all. So we live in a world where people think it is OK to joke about the Bible being God's word and God will not judge you an enemy of God some day. If you are saved you were always saved; 1 Peter 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
How can you read this and say you did choose God, you never chose God, God did choose you, if you are saved at all;Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

yes, but not in the way you insinuate.
true Christians are the light in a world of darkness.
That is what God says.

Yes your parents told you there was a god and you believed, now it's time to fly/think for yourself.
Great metaphor
