Peter was saved but...
Beautiful Post.... I love the way you tied agape love to Jesus & God....
...but I think you missed the message from the Holy Spirit about Peter...
God is Love(Agape)
God=Love
Many Christians and others who believe in the judgement think that they are going to be accepted, with all of their faults, into heaven...this is because people can't imagine a soul that belongs to them without their weaknesses attached to it. Revelations gives us a clear understanding of the judgement of God in the story of Christ with the armies of the Lord removing the pulp from grapes and creating new-wine. The judgement separates our sins(addictions disease & flesh) from us and it goes one step further by also separating sensual love and phileo love from what makes it into heaven....Agape Love.... This (Agape Love)is all that is left of you when you stand before Love(Agape)... The rest of you is burned up and tossed into hell to be burned up....
Some of our spirits will look back on our flesh from heaven and account for our weaknesses but others will arrive in heaven with all of their sins burned up before they arrive. Either way, every sin will be burned up on the day of judgement. Some beings will get to participate in interum ages if the walk in Love(Agape) in their life and do the will of Love(Agape). Either way, all sins including the sins of the "saved" will go through a "shaking" where our sins(spirits) are removed from off of our souls. How much Agape Love that is left of us after the "shaking" will determine how much us gets into heaven.
By making our lives a testimony of "Agape Love" we will still lose a substantial amount of who we are...for all have fallen short of the Kingdom of God...but those have been faithful to Love(Agape)and have done the Will of the Love(Agape)... done Agape Love.... may get to enter the Kingdom of God hear on earth...while those who have been forgiven of their sins but have not been faithful to Agape Love will not enter into the Kingdom of God here on earth.
Whatever Agape love we have given and all of the Agape love we have been blessed with will make it through the fire. If God would destroy the unrepentent sinner's love then that would equal destroying God(suicide). God will not destroy any good thing....Love(Agape)....
All of the fear driven faiths in the world would have us think that Hell is a place for souls to feel anguish but that is not the real story...Souls feel no pain...Only spirits play with pain...The real story about hell is that each of us will be separated from our sins... but some will want to return to their flesh to experience the burning again...But I hope that I would not do this... Choosing Love(Agape) over death & dying ends the cycle of being born of flesh...and allows us to be born of the Spirit of Christ...Born again into the Kingdom of Love(Agape).... Born again as a little christ... adopted by Christ=Love(Agape)=God...
God doesn't throw away good stuff(Agape).
If you think Jesus was telling Peter he wasn't saved, I think you missed the point about Agape Love...
Yah Bless
