Yeah, that's kind of what I took from your post.
How do you quantify how far someone has fallen? I mean, are there varying degrees of backslidden? "Today, he's 2 steps from Heaven, oh no now he's 18 steps from Heaven!"
There really aren't degrees of backslidden. One is in right relationship with God, or one isn't. When you're not, you sin. It's not some horrific thing, it's a simple fact. One person might sleep with everyone they meet, one might embezzle money, one might explore the occult, one might drink themselves into oblivion every night, one might go in search of a same sex relationship, each is trying to meet that need for an intimate relationship with God.
