"Gnosticism", although meant as a cut (with some), proves to be synonymous with Godly or spiritual in nature...for God is spirit. So thank you for the compliment of being "really out there" like God is really out there, even if it is against you but helping those who know the truth.You have the finish line in the wrong place. But your explanation is really out there...a la Gnosticism. When the bible says...know no man according to the flesh...that isn't because the person is only Spirit. So you have gone down a rabbit trail and a doozie there bro!
But the truth we are discussing here is not the things of this world--there is no "finish line" with God, but only with men. And because salvation is of God and not of men, you are simply looking in the wrong place for the answers. So, the finish line is not the point. It has no bearing on the subject of salvation. One can come to that finish line a thousand years different from another, or in the beginning of life or in the eleventh hour...which agrees with Jesus' own words on the matter according to the parable, but here we are arguing about what is true, only because you did not hear it when He originally told us the truth.
In order to properly understand and state the truth of salvation, there needs to be a renewing of the mind to the ways of God, and a turning away from the ways, terms, and times of men and of the world.
