There's a difference between backsliding and apostasy. From what I understand, apostasy is willfully and unremorsefully sinning against God. It's the complete abandonment of your faith.
I think that a backslider, meanwhile, will sin against God and -- after being chastised -- will repent and seek forgiveness and help for whatever sin they're dealing with. I compare it to trying to climb up a hill that's covered with loose rocks. At one point, you're doing great. The next, you stumble and start to slide back down, injuring yourself along the way. And then you reach up and latch onto something sturdy, and continue to make your climb.
I meant no disrespect and I didn't mean to say that you're going to Hell. I should've been more clear about what I was trying to say, and I apologize.
