"Saved" means to be healed, also. It doesn't ONLY mean to receive eternal salvation. Recognition of sin doesn't mean we are healed. Repentance and conversion is our indication that we are healed. What's the point of recognition if you don't intend to change?

Isn't this exactly what I said? I recognize that I'm not the most erudite person here on the religion thread, but I think if you read my post again you'll find that we agree.

This is what I posted...."Accepting your fallibility isn't the same as flaunting your sin....do you see the difference...repentance is a heart matter, thinking it's okay to sin means your damned."

...."Accepting your fallibility isn't the same as flaunting your sin....do you see the difference...repentance is a heart matter, thinking it's okay to sin means your damned." So repentance is an ongoing process, it is not a one-time affair? Then we do agree. Sorry if I misunderstood your post. "Being saved" is a confusing term for me - as we have not yet attained eternal life. We continue to sin and we continue to repent. It is a journey, a process, which is never ended until we die. Our healing does not preclude the subsequent possibility of becoming sick again.

Regards
