How "saved" is a person who falls into serious sin? Are they not in need of being saved (forgiven of sins) again? Isn't the point of "being saved" to free us from sins and its slavery? How saved is someone who is stuck in the slavery of adultery?

Savedness is not proportional to sinlessness. There is no such thing as being saved again. The point of being saved is to forgive us of our sin, past, present and future. It is to forgive us of our condition. That doesn't and never promised to remove that condition.

Do you have any Scriptures to support that our future sins are forgiven already??? I believe the Scriptures have shown my point of view to be correct. The fact remains that in your scheme, a "saved" man who has become a lecherous adulterer is still a "slave to righteousness" rather than a slave to adultery?
