"So based on the above, I would say that if a true Christian could commit murder, then yes, they could be forgiven for it.

The question at hand is not whether a person could be forgiven, the question is whether or not they are guaranteed to be forgiven. To say that a believer is capable of sinning and yet guaranteed not to go to hell is to assure a person that any sin they commit will be forgiven.

" If the Christian murdered then he would repent. The Holy Spirit would see to that."

If I have understood you correctly, PM, you seem to be implying that a believer must repent in order to be forgiven this sin and go to Heaven. Am I reading this correctly?

When were your sins forgiven by God?
