It just an acknowledgment. He is the Savior at this about it. It goes also, they have a choice here to follow the Savior in this life but the personality does come and will surface in this life in not choosing to do so. Look around you….that is a lot of souls may not inherit the Celestial Glory in the end. Now, this is a sadden day to think about that….

You see, this is where I think the disagreement arises. From what I've read in your posts, you seem to believe someone who is not totally devoted can be considered a fence sitter, even after making a choice. I would say that once a choice is made, no matter the level of devotion, the person is removed from fence sitter status. In my mind, the fence sitter is neutral, and on either side is a spectrum ranging from barely devoted to completely devoted.
I would even go so far as to say it is impossible for anyone to ever be a "fence sitter." Matthew 12:30 tells us "He that is not with me is against me..." Even in not making a choice, you have still made a choice. It is the Lord's side with whatever degree of devotion, or satan's.
