the passage you underlined is exactly what im saying and the part of your post that i underlined is also what im saying.
let me make this clear to you because there's two scenarios here and God's word does not say that the person is gauranteed to turn back if they're tossed out:
toss them out...sinful desires done away with.... will be saved on the day christ comes.
toss them out...sinful desires NOT done away with... will NOT be saved on the day christ comes.
Here's a bit of a curve ball for you then. You seem to be of the position that Salvation is something that can be fallen away from, if that is indeed true, then I believe we are all in trouble if we don't apply understanding of scripture in totality with itself.
Hebrews 6:4-6 NIV
4It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, 6if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because[
b]to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
So, if it is impossible for someone who's been enlightened, that is, saved, to come back to repentance if they fall away, if someone can lose their salvation, there's no coming back from that. But, does not God assure us in Christ all our sins are forgiven?
Hebrews 9:25-28 NIV
25Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 26Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Hebrews 10:5-25 NIV
5Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:
"Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
6with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7Then I said, 'Here I amit is written about me in the scroll
I have come to do your will, O God.' "[
a] 8First he said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them" (although the law required them to be made). 9Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. 13Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, 14because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
16"This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds."[
b] 17Then he adds:
"Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more."[
c] 18And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin. 19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one anotherand all the more as you see the Day approaching.
What Paul is saying in his encouragement that we remain faithful is such, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God Himself, died for our sins, we all know this, we all attest to this, we all believe this, obviously. To disrespect that is a very bad thing, there is no doubting that.
But, with that in mind, we have to understand what it means when we consider it as a whole. If Christ died ONCE for our sins, does that not cover future sins? If it did not, how are any of us alive past the Crucifixion saved at all? We wouldn't be if that sacrifice didn't stand for all time for the believer. Even if they become backslidden, the Holy Spirit remains upon them because of their initial faith.
And because I anticipate someone will bring this up, I'll address the immediate passages after the quoted above.
Hebrews 10:26-30 NIV
26If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"[
d] and again, "The Lord will judge his people."[
e] 31It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
He's not talking about a believer here. He is talking about someone who has heard the Gospel and rejected it. After all, the Day of Judgment is not for the righteous, I.E, those in Christ, but the unrepentant, the unsaved. If he WERE talking about the saved, he would be completely contradicting what he said immediately above!
1 Corinthians 3:10-15 NIV
10By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. 14If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. 15If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
If a Christian becomes unbelieving, his misdeeds and ill gotten works will be stacked like sticks for a fire, but he will be saved.
John 5:24 NIV
24"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
2 Corinthians 5:17-19 NIV
17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
You have probably heard a few times in scripture of someone passing from death to life in Christ, but tell me, have you EVER heard of someone passing from life to death? Can Christ's resurrection be undone? Or is the word of God more powerful than man's unfaithfulness? God will deal with the unbelieving child, just as any parent will discipline an obstinate child, so will God deal with His own.
