I’m a recent high school graduate, currently finishing my second year of college. More importantly, I was saved by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Being born again is an event that occurs at a specific moment in time – yet it is totally a miracle of regeneration that can only be accomplished by the power of God. For me, I prayed the sinner’s prayer as a young child, but in August of 2006 God gave me full assurance as I reconfirmed that decision while completing IBLP’s Basic Seminar.
I live with my family in the southeastern U.S.A. Currently studying for classes and exams takes up most of my time, but I strive to live a balanced life to the glory of God - a combination of reading and research, spending quality time with my family, and serving the church and other local ministries in IT-related capacities.
Two places I’d like to go in the near future? One sooner than the other, but Alaska… and heaven.

You must be connected to the Head. If you are in Christ, then you will be where He is... in Heaven eventually. The question then becomes, "Are you in Christ?"
"...that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,..." (Phil. 3:8-9 NASB).
I would agree true Christians are in Christ, but also have their names recorded in the Book of Life.
"And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." - Revelation 20: 15 (NKJV)
"Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels." - Revelation 3: 3-5 (NKJV)
