I suppose that first you are 1/3rd saved when you repent, 2/3rd saved when you are baptized in the name of Jesus, then finally fully saved when you receive the Holy Ghost????

Bro. Strange,
Could it be termed "partial birth"!
http://www.abortioninfo.net/facts/pba.shtml
If something is "partial", it is not complete! If
something is complete, is is fully "delivered".
A full-term baby is one who is fully formed,
and fully delivered. It has gone through the
full process and will be fully delivered if there
is not something done to prevent "complete"
delivery. We are complete in Him, which is the
Head of all principality and power. In a partial-
birth, according to medical terms, the body
comes out first and the head is not allowed to
come out until the life is taken away. It's life
has been taken away by someone who should
have helped it live. My brother once preached
a message on "spiritual abortion". It spoke of
a soul that is in the process of being born again,
then something/someone interferes with the
biblical process and that process is interupted.
Bro. Strange, I had never thought of the term,
partial birth until I read your words about being
1/3 saved, 2/3 saved and fully saved. Natural birth
is a process. Would not spiritual birth be a process!
Death can occur at any point in that process. Or the
forcing, or trying to make the baby be born before
the time, any number of things can happen. Man
interferring with God's process of natural or spiritual
birth could be dangerous. God set things properly in
order, His order. Man can cause things to get out of
order, but like plumbing, if out of order, it'll back up on
you and OH, MY, what a MESS!!! Behold, how great a
matter a "little fire" kindleth!
Just some thoughts from a simple senior saint!!
Blessings,
