Yes, you can find some phrasings that can be read that way, but i suggest that this is wishful thinking, and not supported by the body of Scripture.

So my reply is that they had a more evident example of commitment to the Kingdom, and what that entailed in the way of changing their minds. They left Jewish society completely. And it should be noted that they did not have Acts 2:38 yet. Constantine did Acts 2:38, egotistically, without changing his mind.

SO if one passes away in your idea of a process of being saved what happens to them?
