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?
Consequences to sin, God’s admonishment, the trials that we will suffer on this earth will never go away.
There are consequences to sin. Again, if I take someone’s life after salvation, it is sin. But so is the flipping someone off on the interstate. They are all sin, and will all result in worldly and eternal consequences. Just not the loss of your salvation.
No one says you should not seek forgiveness, that you should not seek to become more Christ-like.
But believing that you can lose your salvation is not Biblical.
God will punish a believer in time for sinning, including ending his life, but he cannot lose his salvation.
