In I Cor 9.24 it says that only "one receives the prize." Yet Paul exhorts us all to "run, that we may lay hold." This verse was always troublesome. I'm not picking sides here, rather mentioning how difficult it is to know definitively.

Apostle Paul taught there were spiritual, soulish, and fleshly believers. Yes, our faith and our birth of God is what can overcome all things. See, for example, Hebrews 11 for a few stories of old.
Yet, what do we do with those, who were once genuinely born of God, and then never believed again. I'm sure we all have met some like this, who lived their whole life like an unbeliever. How can they receive the same outcome as those faithful martyrs.
