Can you fall from being saved?

[linssue55]

IF we are in the light as He is in the light we have fellowship one with another and the blood of JEsus Christ His son cleanses us from every sin when we walk in the light.

Yes....but by using 1 John 1:9, I am simply AKNOWLEDGING my sins that He paid for me 2000 yrs. ago, (He cleansed us from our sins over 2000 yrs. ago) ..... because if I DON"T, I will then begin to grieve and quench the Holy Spirit in me and start building scar tissue of the soul, and that puts me into carnality.....so therefore I keep close account of my sins and use 1 John 1:9 when needed to stay in fellowship with the Lord and to walk in the light.........

LOL Yeh right......I don't think so, I am a member of the Royal Family of God as are all believers...so sin is not the issue...we are under Grace...no longer the law...so I guess I am stuck in the Royal Family...LOL

I count my sins every day. I go, there's one... there's that sexual secret... there's a little hate... and oh my, what have we here, a chunk of pride... oh yes, there's that episode when I cursed my dad....

etc

And I check all the points on the list with a red marker. It's symbolic, it represents the blood of Jesus.

Isa 1:18
18 "Come now, and let us reason together,"
Says the LORD,
"Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.


I have learned to write my sins in red ink. Then when I look at them through blood colored, opps, I mean rose colored glasses they completely disappear.

Grace rocks.

Yes He does brother. Yes He does! Amen!

Does anyone get affected by your sins like your family or neighbors, freiends etc?

Does anyone get affected by your sins like your family or neighbors, freiends etc?

Yes, to the extent that sin brings death and harms people. But not in the sense that I need to judge them or fear that the blood of Jesus doesn't cover them.

Jesus tells us plainly to "love your neighbors as yourself." Why do you harm people with your sins? What part of the "love" don't you understand?

Oh, sorry, I misread your post. I thought you asked if I was affected (cared about) by other people's sins. Sorry about that.

But to actually answer your question,

yes.

That's why I need Jesus just as much now as I did when I first found him. If not more.

Let's take this situation for an example...

Let's say this man discovers Christ through a life of hardship. He's a very intelligent man who is often a skeptic. Well he finds Christ and dedicates his life to him for 10 years. He was saved. Until he comes across to someone to feed him lies about how there is no evidence for Christ. His skeptic nature kicks in and he walks away from Christ because of this evidence.

He was saved from the heart. It says once you are saved you are pre-destined and you cannot be taken away from him.

So if this gentlemen is a full blown athiest now, is he still secured in heaven?

"And let's say in another situation someone was saved and 10 years later they live a life of sin."

What will happen?

I don't understand why Christians bring up such questions. It's God's job to decide who is saved and who is not. If we truly love God we don't have to worry about it. If we don't why don't we just repent and recover a true relationship with Him? If we keep thinking that we are OK, are already saved, and we keep going on in an unchanged life (live worldly lifestyles) then we have reason to worry about our salvation. Christians who tell other Christians that we don't need good works because we are already saved are working against God.

Aaaah good stuff!!! I'm a part of this Royal Family too...yay for us!! And I'll second the Grace Rocks notion too .

And you keep hurt them with your sins?

This is very true. An always saved Christian (possible only after pentecost) will always cling to God. Period.

 

[holo]

And you keep hurt them with your sins?

Yes, probably more than I'm even aware of.

edit: just like my friends' and family's sins hurt me sometimes. My mum hurt me deeply last night, for example. Goes both ways.

I would ask you the same question. Your implication that I am unloving because I walk in the Liberty bought for me is not only mistaken, but a little offensive too.

If I hurt someone because of my sin I apologise and stop doint it. This simple practice is not supported by most Christians. We just talk the talk.

When I love the Lord I want to have a relationship with Him. Then He convicts me of what's right and wrong and helps me do the right thing. My sins do affect others so I do my best to not wrong them. That doesn't mean that I will perfectly do that though. I have a problem with people who think they're good to go because they've traded their "BIG" sins for ones that aren't as visible. Sin is sin and we need to have repentant hearts at all times. The more you realize that you're a sinner and can never be perfect, the more you are thankful that Christ paid for all of your sins. It's that cycle that helps you serve Christ.
