PROBABLY SO! But there are three ‘tenses’ to saved: past tense, the moment God births you spiritually, transferring the penaolty for sin onto Jesus on that cross; present tense: by following the urging of the Holy Spirit abiding in the born again spirit we are incrementally saved fromt he power of sin; future, the moment God transforms us in the twinkling of an eye, from 4 dimensional creatures into greater dimensional beings, and take us to The Father’s House (1 John 3:2 ... when he comes for us we shall see Him as He is now because we shall be like him, in glorified bodies with sinless souls/behavior mechanisms). The paast tense is the key, He already paid for all that sin you call backsliding else no one would be saved.
“The paast tense is the key, He already paid for all that sin you call backsliding else no one would be saved.”
No. I am not referring to “past tense” (past) backsliding. I am referring to backsliding that dogs a persons life AFTER they - present tense - claim to have been saved and born again. Backsling cannot continue once truly saved, beborn, claimed and held by Christ. True repentence (change) occurs once and for all time once truly reborn. Sin cannot continue anymore than could Christ sin.
