OK, let's say this same "saved" Christian is mad and talking on the phone. He yells out the Lord's name in vain and BANG! is hit by a bus and dies. What happens to him? He dies without repenting his sin. The wages of sin is death

If he is truly "saved" he will suffer loss of rewards, (1 Cor. 3:15) but not loss of salvation.

Good question. The sin is covered by the blood of Jesus. Remember all sins are covered, not just the ones we had committed at the time we accepted Christ into our heart. Once saved, all our sins are covered (past, present, and future), but sin can separate us from communion with God. Ever notice how hard it is to pray or spend time with the Lord when you have un-confessed sin. There is a barrier there. By confessing our sin and asking for forgiveness, we are restoring that communion.

Thank you both. I am interested in hearing Havoc's answer because he always talks about how important it is to obey and avoid sin.
