Yes, he does!
Believers can do whatever they please. They cannot lose their salvation.
According to the article:
it is true that no matter what a person does after he is saved that person is still saved.
For the "saved" person, there are no eternal consequences to sin. Our salvation is guaranteed, regardless of our acts. We are saved because of our belief in Jesus. 'Nuff said.
Wai Ming: For the "saved" person, there are no eternal consequences to sin.
Salvation is not a license to sin. It is merely a pardon from the sin. There is a huge difference. In order to get a pardon you must recognize that you have done wrong and plead for mercy. If you have a license to sin, then you need not ever ask for mercy. You need not ever ask for forgiveness. But the requirement for the Believer is that we must ask forgiveness. We must be contrite. We can't sin without conscience. If we do, then there is a signifcant question as to whether or not you are really a believer in Jesus. After all if you believe in Jesus, you will do what he asks.
You are wrong that there are no eternal consequences to the Christian's sin. There are eternal consequences to every sin. Lest you forget, Jesus died for that sin. Jesus suffered on the cross for that sin. Thus if you take pleasure in sin, then you take pleasure in Jesus suffering. If you take pleasure in Jesus suffering, then I don't think you can claim to be saved. Each time you deliberately commit a sin you crucify Jesus afresh as that is one more sin that Jesus had to suffer and die for. Does that make you feel good? Do you feel comfortable sinning knowing that Jesus had to suffer specifically for that sin?
If that doesn't bother you, if you feel free to sin without conscience, and without guilt, then it certainly won't bother Jesus to say to you at the Judgement, "Depart from me... I never knew you."
Just as you can take legalism too far, you certainly can also take "easy believism" too far. Something to think about.
