He is partially correct, but his reasoning needs some clarification to make complete sense in the infinite nature of God.

Unfortunately, this is not something humans themselves can discover, but for the sake of argument, it will be assumed that they do. If human spirits exist outside time, it does not matter when they are completely saved, only that they are at some point. Thus, we can be completely saved in our lifetimes as Eldredge previously proposed (Eldredge
