With my mothers passing almost two weeks ago now I received the same feeling. Now my mother had repented and went on to be baptized and received the HGB years ago. In 1988 to be exact. Through her life she stopped going to church because of her health but never, never lost faith in God. She did not go down the road that some people say you have to in order to 'stay saved'.
I was in Tn for the memorial service and such and was talking to my close friends, the wife is a 3-stepper the husband is a closet 1-stepper. My wife and I are the God-parents of their child. I was kidding with her about me being a charasmatic and not losing my salvation and such. She was poking fun back at me, but something in the way she was doing it was telling me that I could lose it if I did not follow 'certain' teachings. I told her I had grace and mercy and did not have to follow a dress code, etc. She told me to hush because she thought I might get struck down. I used to be that way. I used to treat people the same way. That attitude stinks in the nostrils of God, IMO.
