You are NOT seen as a sinner, if you confess and repent of your sins (daily would be nice!).If all sinners go into the fire, we are all doomed.
God's incredible GRACE, and our FAITH, and our GOOD WORKS ... ALL play a part in our salvation.This has been a good discussion for me.
... I mean how many of us take in the homeless and feed the hungry (noting these are things I do),
and visit the sick and them in prison? But I fall short still. Grace then is my hope and salvation!

I figured you were more of the "three free sins" crowd...which really means indefinite free sins. The only sin that is gonna take you to spiritual death is unbelief, but the other sins are means that can get you there.
Why would you say that ?
Does anyone you know today live like the disciples did in ACTS , trusting the heavenly Father with ALL....
I agree. One of the outcomes of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is boldness, not to be confused with arrogance.
THis is a false premise and has apparently given false belief or false hope to a lot of people who are not saved yet but think someday they can be, .... most people die (according to all Scripture) without even thinking of repenting, so obviously they die in their sins and trespasses....I say this, because I think it important for non-believers (who visit this site) to know .... they can receive Jesus at any point in their life and be saved ..
I say this, because I think it important for non-believers (who visit this site) to know .... they can receive Jesus at any point in their life and be saved ... and begin a new life with Him, here on earth ... and receive eternal life with Him in a world that has no more pain, sorrow or death ... for eternity.

They learned how to walk with Him .... we choose to learn how to walk with Him ... and people are in different stages in their "walk" with the Lord.

I’m not sure that boldness is something that all who possess the Holy Spirit will receive. I know many believers who are too afraid of confrontation to witness to nonbelievers. Paul is clear that the Holy Spirit gives different gifts to different people.

so obviously they die in their sins and trespasses..
Unless........if someone accepts Jesus with a sincere heart ... they will be saved .
Unless the Father grants (understanding) from Heaven, a man is not able to receive it...Sometimes people need to walk before they can run. Many people often change their beliefs as they grow in their knowledge of the gospel. I’ve often wondered if God intentionally made the scriptures to be a bit ambiguous for the sake of discussion and debate as a way to motivate us to study His word more closely. Just a thought.
Unless........
"accepts Jesus" even with "sincere heart" is not in line with all Scripture...
or
"they do not endure to the end".....
etc etc etc ....
All Scripture is Truth, and it doesn't work by taking bits and pieces to support a man-made doctrine (or worse) ....
Also, All Scripture is in Complete Harmony, with no contradictions ....
Yes, I was going to point this out also.I’m not sure that boldness is something that all who possess the Holy Spirit will receive.

Paul is clear that the Holy Spirit gives different gifts to different people.
Not only that, but I am one of those who believes (from the NT) thatTHis is a false premise and has apparently given false belief or false hope to a lot of people who are not saved yet but think someday they can be, .... most people die (according to all Scripture) without even thinking of repenting, so obviously they die in their sins and trespasses....
Hebrews 10:22 – Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the ...But, I don't see much in the NT about boldness being given as a gift (or otherwise).
There definitely are many levels of spiritual Truth in the NT.Sometimes people need to walk before they can run. Many people often change their beliefs as they grow in their knowledge of the gospel. I’ve often wondered if God intentionally made the scriptures to be a bit ambiguous for the sake of discussion and debate as a way to motivate us to study His word more closely. Just a thought.
