Just say Jamie is the perfect of an example of Christ and He shines through her. Pretty much always has
After a lot of bad fortunate situations, even though she does love her Lord and Savior, she is vulnerable and feels so hurt in this would seem at times, God forsaken life.
She looses her job because of something she didn't do and life starts on one big downhill snowball for her.
She is offered some - for all extensive purposes, heroin, and for some relief from that pain and hurt she is in, takes it.
That night, Jamie dies from a hot shot.
She still loved God, is she going to be accepted into His arms for loosing her way for a little?

if Jamie falls into that trap, think of all the things that she will miss, aside from my charming personality,
what will happen to her precious pets?
and who is going to teach her grandchildren about Jesus?
who is going to be there when the child that she love, needs her?
when I though that I had lost every thing, had to live in the forest for 3 years,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
these are the thought that went through my head.
but God was always with me,
if Satan did not fear you, then why is He attacking you so hard?
and He will always be with you.
YOU are stronger than you thing.
I love you, and I am praying for you.
may God give you strength in your weakest moments.

This is a question that goes to the heart of the matter, do you trust God or not? While Jamie is saved and is therefore guaranteed heaven her behavior when things went wrong were sinful, not trusting God, and will be judged, not to the point of going to hell as even that sinful behavior was paid for on the cross by Christ.
We are to love and trust God in all situations, whether good or bad. Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: Job 13:14

God salvation isn't based on "what ifs".
Job went through about as much as a person could be through.
he grumbled and argued with his "comforting friends".God scolded his grumbling but told his "comforting friends" that if Job wanted to forgive their inaccurate view of him and inaccurate "speaking for God" they would be forgiven.He forgave them.God blessed him.The point is the scripture makes it clear that Jesus forgives us of our sins.Jesus is there to forgive us if we fall short.We are have salvation by Jesus' sacrificed.Christians still stumble but are forgiven.
It says everyone will recieve a reward for what they do for Jesus (or not do).Think if a woman(married) dies while having lustful thoughts of some married man.People may see the women
take the drugs and die.They may then question if she was saved still.The lustful woman may also lived for Jesus and then meet a guy she is wild about.No person, even her husband,seen her lustful thoughts but Jesus did.Would anyone question her salvation or life for Jesus?

No doubt about it. If she was truly saved, she will go to Heaven no matter what. The Bible says that we are saved by grace, not by works so that no man should boast(James). God's eternal life is a gift that you accept, not earn. So if you do something wrong, you don't lose it because you did not earn it in the first place, you received it from our gracious merciful loving God. Also, salvation is freedom from sin. You go to Hell because of your sin, but if you are saved, you are free from that, so even if you sin, you go to Heaven. Keep in mind that if you are really saved you will not want to sin, but if you mess up, God will still accept you. God loves you! Would you boot your kid into the streets because he messed up, or would you be a loving, forgiving, merciful parent and keep him? Good question. God bless and I pray that God opens your eyes and heart and reveals to you what you want to know.

If she fully accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord & Savior, and continues to do so even after death, Jamie shouldn't have anything to worry about.
She wouldn't be eternally punished for an accident, regardless of existential circumstances. Death, after all, is a part of life.

The grace of God can never be taken away. God knows exactly how we feel and why we feel it. He knows exactly what we think and why we think it. He knows when we are misled, and why. God is forgiving and just....Everyone loses their way a little from time to time, God knows this, yet his arms are open forever...

It would be tempting to explain theology at this point but I would just say: God knows more about us then we know ourselves, According to his word--he judges the heart--that portion we can know a little about because we each have a heart--God is her judge no one else--look at all the physical evidence--but you can't examine he spirit--God can.

Can We Lose Our Salvation?
The bible teaches us once we have salvation we cannot lose it. Jesus said, “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.” (John 10:28,29) Once we turn to God, we will always be God’s. Once we have the true peace and joy from God, we will give him our entire life.
If we can lose our salvation, then God’s gift means nothing to us. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23) The question about this verse is did you really take God’s free gift? Once we take God’s free gift of life we are assured of eternal life in Christ Jesus or Lord. Salvation is a gift of God.
God said, “We will not perish.” If we take God at his word and perish, this makes God a liar. The bible says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. (John 3:16-18) We know God cannot lie. This means we must truly believe with all our hearts and confess with our mouths that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, die on the cross from our sins, and was raised from the dead. Believing with all our heart means to repent and turn from our wicked ways, and daily take up our crosses.
Salvation comes down to if you are really saved or not. Once you are saved you cannot lose your salvation.

one can lose their salvation...GOD says double woe to them who having known HIM or had a relationship with HIM, turned away from HIM anyway. in revelation it speaks of having your name wiped from the book of life as punishment...
i believe the way to lose salvation is to reject GOD...to turn willingly to a life of sin...to doubt GOD...for is not our belief and trust in GOD based on faith in the first place? Abraham had faith and it was imputed to him as righteousness. is GOD not able, if we trust in HIM, to carry us through the worst of our troubles? nothing in this world is so terrible as to cause a true believer to turn to a life of sin rather than to the GOD they trust.
