In general, I agree. Anybody who says he isn’t a sinner is a liar.
Sadly, we are talking about the same thing, and using the same words, but we have different context/meaning.
Salvation is neither on nor off. However, it is rejected (sinning), and accepted (repentance, conforming to God’s will, etc.).
God doesn’t take away Salvation, we freely give it up when we sin. Fortunately, God is a merciful God, and when approached by a penitent, He is forgiving.
Of course, the goal is to change our ways, and completely conform ourselves (rebirth, born again) to God’s will.
We need God’s grace(s), as we are incapable by our nature, to not sin. We are constantly tempted by the evil one, and often give in. Again, we can seek forgiveness, and seek to amend our lives.
I would suggest that being born again is not a one time event, but rather, something that happens each time we cast off sin and seek to live that new life.
Going back to the beginning, God offer Heaven to each and every one of us. Jesus’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection, redeemed all of mankind for eternity. This redemption/salvation, is a permanent, unmerited, un-earnable, and eternal gift. However, as humans, we often reject that gift, but through God’s mercy, are able to accept the gift again.
“Jesus’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection, redeemed all of mankind for eternity. This redemption/salvation, is a permanent, unmerited, un-earnable, and eternal gift.”
You were running well...
“However, as humans, we often reject that gift, but through God’s mercy, are able to accept the gift again.”
...then somebody cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth, and put you back in the driver’s seat.
I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?
