Thus my point....it comes down to opinion as to the details when it comes to WHAT the “sons of God” really were as we read it in the English;being that the results of “WHAT THEY DID” are established fact in the record as to why God flooded the world. There are arguments to be made for both sides(DEMONS OR MEN FALLEN FROM GRACE) but when it comes down to the salvation of a soul, what is really most important to know...?
“We have heard the joyful sound:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Spread the tidings all around:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Bear the news to every land,
Climb the steeps and cross the waves;
Onward!—’tis our Lord’s command;
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!”

Yup.
 

     Acts 2:40 
     With many other words he warned them;
     and he pleaded with them,
     “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”
 

Peter WARNED them and he PLEADED with them.

This matter is not one of soteriology. At least not directly. There is a tangential debate as to whether salvation is possible for a hybrid being. I don’t believe that for the generation of hybrids spawned by the angels that it is. I believe that they, and not fallen angels, are demons. Nowhere in Scripture does it call angels demons. We assume that it is the angels who fell who are demons. I don’t. I base this upon the change of meaning in the word Rephaim within the Old Testament. Still, the whole matter is secondary. But, it is not unimportant.

I believe that to fully understand prophecy and the world you are in, you need to understand Genesis 6. I think the repercussions ring throughout the OT and are alluded to multiple times in the new, including by Christ. It’s important to dig and not just dismiss. Jesus had a message for us concerning the times of Noah and the times of Lot and it’s good not to just gloss over that message.
