Michael-please direct all the people who simply want to quote bible verses to each other to this site. They can quote away to their hearts content. They have no place on an economic collapse type blog.

“For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.” Hebrews 10:26-27

So this says if we do a sin after we learn that what we are doing is a sin then we won’t be forgiven? But being the unholy sinners we all are everyone would sin after learning of certain sins. So are we forgiven much thanks.

” He that has the Son has life, he who has not the Son, has NOT life” 1 John 5:12

“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.” John 3:36

I could go on and on. This is a gaurantee of salvation. Jesus either saved us or he did not. If you say he made a way for us to be saved, but we can do more “good” works to get to Heaven, then you are mistaken.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast” Ephesians 2:8-9

Yes we need to repent from our sins, but scripture is very clear that we are being made into the image of Christ ( santification) here on earth, and we will not truly be free of sinning. The important part is how God views us. If you have repented, turned to Christ and asked him to change your heart and be your Lord AND Savior, then you will be born again and have eternal life. God looks at us through Christ, and we obtain the righteousness of Christ based on what he dod for us. Christians works will determine our rewards, but if we are truly born again, we WILL have eternal life in Heaven and be saved from Hell.

I hope this helps.

Repent (turn from your sins), and turn to the Savior and get the “mind of Christ” and you will be set free from homosexuality. Not to sound harsh, but if you continue to practice the homosexual lifestyle, then you have not truly repented. The scriptures say that no homosexual will enter the kingdom of God.

Peace to you

All of our sins are forgiven by God – past, present and future.

But when we sin after we have become a Christian we are hurting ourselves and we are disrupting our fellowship with God.

For example, if you cuss out your father he is still your father, right? But your fellowship with him may be hurt.

So just like you would need to confess you were wrong to your earthly father, you will also need to confess your sins to your heavenly Father in order to restore your fellowship with Him.

But where you are wrong, friend, is in your “once saved, always saved” statements, saying that one can “lose their salvation”. The “one has to stay saved” heresy is right out of the lordship salvationist, charismatic, assembly of god, church of christ heresy handbook. You dont have to “stay saved”, any more than you have to “stay a son or a daughter” to parents. Tell me something: is it possible for you to lose your sonship or daughtership, or have to “stay your parent’s son or daughter”? NO! ONCE BORN ALWAYS BORN! Likewise with the spiritual birth! Yes, we sin, because of the sin nature (which will ALWAYS be there ON OUR BUTT DOGGING US as long as we live in this corrupt world and have a devil running around!), and we are going to go up, down, left, right, forward, backward, EVERYWHERE. But if we are truly HIS and born again, he CHASTENS US when we do go the wrong way THE WAY A LOVING FATHER WOULD (Hebrews 12:5-6) because he loves us and ALLOWS U-TURNS. It is the HOLY SPIRIT that does the chastising, as well as the guiding, comforting, leading us, but WE ARE HIS WHEN WE ACCEPT THE GIFT AND HE WILL NOT LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US (Hebrews 13:5, KJV). God doesn’t expect us to know how to walk immediately after we are saved, just as you don’t expect a baby to know how to walk when it is born. To say that you have to “stay saved” IS LIKE TELLING JESUS THAT HIS FINISHED WORK ON THE CROSS WASN’T ENOUGH to pay for your sins and you would have to keep adding more works to it to make it valid. THAT WOULD BE AN INSULT to him! It was more than enough, friend, to pay for your sins, sins of the past, present, and future. We GROW IN GRACE and we ADD NO WORKS. It is true that man looks on the outward appearance, and that is one good reason to GLORIFY JESUS OUR LORD, but NOT in order TO STAY SAVED.

Jesus paid the penalty for all of our sins on the cross. No additional payment needs to be made.

If we asked Jesus to come into our lives, all of our sins have been wiped clean.

Yes, it is hard to understand that salvation is a free gift, but it cost Jesus everything.

However, God will judge our works once we get to heaven. There will be no punishment, but those that have done many good works will receive a great reward and those believers that have done very few good works will receive a very small reward.

Does that make sense?

The Bible says that you can know if you have eternal life or not. The following comes from 1 John 5:11-13….

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

If you have asked Jesus into your life, He is there. You are born again and you have been given eternal life.

Many young Christians have doubts like this. But you can trust what the Word of God says. God never goes back on His Word.
