Tovah -

I like that saying, "We know where the Spirit is, but not where He is not." I've heard it before, from my priest, & it's one of the aspects of faith that I've learned since embracing the ancient path. It's black & white in God's eyes only; but for the rest of us, it remains a mystery.

I suppose we used the term "unsaved" as a holdover from our Protestant days. The people we're praying for are those who profess to not know Him, & so we pray for their salvation. But, for those of us who do know Him, we continue to pray for our salvation as well. I no longer ascribe to the belief "once saved, always saved". It's a lifelong process. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Shalom, Dena
