Did you not see my reference to II Thess 3:15? Did you not read of the distinction between being a family member and finding yourself saved? Your grandson will always be your grandson, Judy. That IS the correct answer. Your grandson dies tomorrow. Heaven or hell. Now, I know you have a difficulty answering this question, but I don't. He goes to heaven AS A FAMILY MEMBER - God being his Father!!
Adoption has little to do with becoming "sons of God." Rather, it pertains to the assumption of our bodies into all that is God's world (Ro 8:23) God is already our Father. Paul is already our brother.
Get the picture?

Secondly, and I knew that Judy was not going to answer this question ---
the grandson is always a member of the family. Once a member, always a member.
Once a son, always a son.
Nonsense, there is an "only begotten" son and there are adopted sons in God's
economy - which mould do you suppose our grandson fits? He's not the messiah.
Many are called but few are chosen. Meditate on that for a while JD.
