The Scriptures declare that Jesus Christ, as the Life-Giving Spirit, continues to dwell in a person unless or except they are reprobates, yet you're both so sure of your positions, even in the face of Paul's writings.

Therefore, since you don't know if jfrog is reprobate you can't possibly know whether God actually did originally give him the Holy Spirit, or took It away.

Paul never states what you have just said. Neither do the the other writers in the New Testament. That is 100% false doctrine to tell someone unless they are a rebrobate they still have the HG.
