You have committed sins that you have never asked forgiveness for. Therefore, under your paradigm, none of us would make it to heaven, because we would have to ensure that we have asked for forgiveness for all sins we have committed, which is impossible.
That is the amazing grace of God. You ask once, you accept once, you are forgiven once.
For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever should believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Notice there is no requirement in there to continue asking forgiveness for salvation. That requirement would doom us to failure and Heaven would be an empty place indeed.
Concur. You must be born again. Once, not repeatedly.
I guess since so many are telling me I’m wrong, I must have missed something in my understanding of what God expects of me.
So according to what all the posters who have responded to me are saying;
Since I accepted Christ, nothing I do from that point forward has any bearing on the destination of my soul.
So if I slip up and take the Lord’s name in Vain, or flip that guy off on the freeway, or make a mistake and cheat on my wife, etc has no effect on my immortal soul.
Is this what you folks are telling me?
I’ve actually had people tell me I’m headed for hell because I believe there may be life in other parts of the universe, and because I don’t attend Church on Sunday.
So none of that matters since I accepted Christ as my Savior?
So why is it again we have a problem with homosexuals? If they believe in their heart that Jesus died for their sin, then how are we to say what they do is wrong?
What about abortionists? I would say there plenty of OB/GYN doctors who consider themselves born again Christians.
Politicians who support these people, plenty of them believe they have accepted Jesus.
What am I missing here?
