2) I'm not denying that everyone needs Christ. I'm pretty sure our defs of "perfect" are diff, if yours dwells on past forgiven sin. I note that "re-repenting" is common in your model, and this seems to strongly reflect Original Sin?
"Are you perfect?" You bet. Any less is to deny Christ for me. Or are you revealing some sin of mine, that I must name and ask forgiveness for, to be perfect again?

I don't think your reading everything that I'm writing (which I understand and tend to do to.) This started between you and I because your implication of muslims being saved.
I do believe the bible that once one is born again they are forgiven. Forgiven from past, present, and future sin.
The church is His bride of whom I belong and I'm waiting for that glorious day of the marriage supper. I have great reservation though of people who think that God is a polygamist and will have several brides at that feast. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. There is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism. There will only be one bride at that supper.
You seem to think that muslim will take the path of allah and and be at that supper.
