This seems to be a good case of the "clay" telling the "Potter" what He should do or be like. In simplier terms it is called, "pride" because God doesn't owe you, me or her an explanation of what He does since He wrote the rules, He can do whatever He wants!!!

Following some person in a prayer doesn't save you or thinking that when you are saved, everything is going to be all roses from here on and you will have all the answers to everything. You are saved when you realize that you are a lost sinner deserving of seperation of God and hell when you die and in need of a Saviour. If you don't realize you are lost in your sins and are sorry for them and willing to turn from them, you can't be saved. (Jesus said, "unless ye repent, ye shall all perish.") Salvation comes from a contrite and humble heart, not someone full of pride.

I wonder if this person ever read and considered these three verses in there bible?

Isa. 55:8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD"

Pro 16:18 "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall"

Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him(God): for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him".

How do we get faith? Rom 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

If this person truly did come to Jesus and ask to be saved, that is God's department because knows the heart. Eph 2:8-9,"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Anybody get this far?
