God saved me in spite of myself. It is a song about how I see the spiritual world. I have never had the opinion that I was unsaved -- but I can sing "I once was lost" with feeling.Opinions aside, brother John, could you clarify the above for me? I know that you cannot be saying that you have always been saved, but that is what I got at first reading.

You have heard of "original sin?" What about "original salvation." ????? Anyway -- what I mean is that I have never considered myself lost. That does not mean such was the case. I was raised going to church. I grew up in church. My dad was an elder in church. There has never been a time in my thoughtful existence when I did not think God in Christ died for me. I was baptised at age 12, back in '57. But I knew I was going to commit to that ordinance years before. If "repentance" means a change of mind, I have never had the need to repent. Often the need to confess. Am I the only one? I don't think so. I am going to go hide, now.
