being that that was a clarification on this

'm new to the site, and I just wanted to let you all know that atheists are deluded. Satan has blinded your minds. Here's how it works:
God has not yet given you a spirit of repentance, even though you prayed a sinner's prayer; you weren't really saved.
You then heard the Gospel preached hundreds if not thousands of times.
Every time an unbeliever hears the Gospel and does not repent again, their heart is hardened even more. The problem is that you thought you were saved, so you didn't press in to a full assurance. You just kept telling yourself that the prayer the first time did it.
Now that your hearts are so hard, Satan has the freedom to just tell you whatever he wants and you take it all in as truth because you have not the discerning spirit to tell truth from error.
Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, suffered and died for sinful men, rose again the third day and ascended into heaven. He is the Son of the Living God, the second person of the Trinity. I know Him because He has revealed Himself to me. He has walked and talked with me and told me about my life. I know the fullness of God's salvation through Christ because He is real. The Bible is true... every word. It was written by holy men of old who were moved by the Holy Ghost. I know you will say that verse is referring to the Old Testament, but the authors of the New Testament were moved in the same way as the writers of the OT. None of them actually KNEW at the time that they were being used of God to write and compile His perfect revelation to man. It's a story of unfolding, ever-deepening revelation that will only get fuller as the time of the end draws near.
The Crusades and other so-called Christian wars and so on were not undertaken by Christians at all. The real Christians throughout history have been persecuted, hiding in plain sight. We have an heritage from the Lord that runs from Enoch to David to John the Baptist to Paul to the great saints of the modern era. We do not have to have a pope or bishops like the Catholics. We have the true word of God, inerrant and perfect in its very words. The so-called "King James" Bible is the perfect English version of the Bible and can be used to teach all nations. The other nations of the world will come into our "nation", that is, spiritual Israel, the true church of born again Christians. In that nation, they will be like the 10 people who take hold of the garment of a Jew and say let us go with you because we know God is with you. All those who hear the true Word of God will take hold of our garment and follow us to the truth.
Repent so that your sins may be blotted out, and times of refreshing may come from the Lord. Whosever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved. Beg God to send His Spirit of supplication (that's begging) and repentance into your hard hearts before Satan has you forever. You will go to hell and then you and Satan and all his demons will go to the eternal lake of fire.
Trust Jesus now. He is the only one that can save you.
