Catholics and your group (OSAS/unrepentant commandment [including the 7th day Sabbath] breakers) are in the same sinking ship. Yes, Salvation by faith, alone. No works are going to get you there. But, once there (converted and born again), there are things that God expects from those who profess love in Him.

1 John 2: 4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

There is no such thing as OSAS. Saved by Grace and THEN live your life in unrepentant sin, treating God’s law as to no effect? Hebrews 10 tells us exactly how that will turn out…

15Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Claim salvation through grace AND then continue to sin (transgression of God's law...lawlessness)? AND teach others to do the same?

…and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

I'm still waiting for any of you to tell me what the penalty for unrepentant sin is for a Christian who initially "believes" and is saved by grace, in the beginning of their conversion?....) (Ravi....not saying he did it, but if he did), when ALL of you say OSAS guarantees you passage into heaven, despite the constantly repeated statement that there is no requirement to keep God's law after grace?

Just a few less jewels in your crown, or you get put in a small condo in the corner of the the new city? ridiculous, right? So, what's the Penalty for unrepentant sinners if everyone who was once saved, is still saved?
