"
Okay. Did King David at any time lose the Salvation-indwelling of the Holy Spirit when he committed adultery and murder, and did not repent for a full year? Just curious."
Are you serious? Do you comprehend what "salvation" is? It is not the same thing as an indwelling of the holy spirit. King David could not fall under the new covenant? C'mon man, you are reaching now.....go reload.
You'll forgive me but I cant follow your second question.

- Are unrepentant murderers and adulterers indwelt by the Holy Spirit?
- If a Saved Man commits murder and adultery, and is not Repentant, does he remain Saved?
Thanks.
You'll forgive me but I cant follow your second question.
Okay, first, try reading the Scripture...
Matthew 11: 20 - 27 -- Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. "Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths. If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you." At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure." All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
Now, we'll break it into three questions, concerning the specific evidence of this passage:
- Did the omniscient God foreknow that Tyre and Sidon would freely choose TO REPENT in the case of His performance of Miracles like unto those He performed in Chorazin and Bethsaida?
- And did the omniscient God foreknow Tyre and Sidon would freely choose NOT TO REPENT in the case of His non-performance of such Miracles?
- And did the omnipotent God CHOOSE not to perform these Miracles in Tyre and Sidon, a choice which had as its perfectly foreknown result the NON-Repentance of Tyre and Sidon, just as He foreknew?
