Do we now also have a class of people who are called "enduromers?"
This should be easy to understand, don't you think?

Like so many things in the Bible, I think our minds are prone to overly complicate things. We can study and pray about something, but only He can shine light and make it all clear and simple. So if we do study and pray about it, and it's still not clear, what should we do? (We can certainly fellowship and light may come that way too.)
For me, when something like this remains a little unclear, I find it better to set it aside with a prayer, "Lord, when I'm ready, I trust you will shine light and show me what it really means." That doesn't mean I don't look into the matter any more or don't discuss it, but it frees me from a certainly level of getting all spun-up about the topic. Oftentimes it really is best to "let go and let God."
Nonetheless, do others on here equate being an overcomer with receiving a prize at the bema like I do?
