Does the verse Luke 9:62 talk about backsliders in the tense of they were never saved?
Our ladies are doing a book study and the other day the book stated that the great cloud of witnesses were watching us. I disagreed. The believers of the past that have died don't watch us --just inspire us to stand firm in our faith, right? I need scripture references if anyone other than God watches us from heaven.
Are the Old Testament Saints still in heaven? If God comes back for the second time for us, are we going to meet this people, or are they no more existing?

Romans 1:28 says, "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" My conclusion has been that God gave them over to a reprobate mind for the destruction of the flesh. What is your thought here?
