I agrree with all of your points regarding pornography. But a person who has accepted Christ as savior cannot lose their salvation. Once a person is saved they can only break fellowship with God by sinning. Salavation cannot be earned by works. If it could be then we would have no need for Christ

And as Tony Evans once said the person that has the toughest life on this earth is a Christian who keeps sinning because of God's punishment.
1 Thessaloninans 4:3
- It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;
- 4
- that each of you should learn to control his own body[1] in a way that is holy and honorable,
- 5
- not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God;
- 6
- and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you.
- 7
- For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
- 8
- Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

But a person who has accepted Christ as savior cannot lose their salvation. Once a person is saved they can only break fellowship with God by sinning. Two things: first, can you provide a Biblical verse that says you can't lose your salvation?
Second: doesn't your second sentence contradict the first?

sins which Jesus says will deprive one of eternal life. I agrree with all of your points regarding pornography. But a person who has accepted Christ as savior cannot lose their salvation. Once a person is saved they can only break fellowship with God by sinning. Salavation cannot be earned by works. If it could be then we would have no need for Christ Very well stated....
The statement of " sins which Jesus says will deprive one of eternal life...." was the only major flaw in the article.....
Even the Book of Hesitations does not have a list of sins which will deprive one of eternal life....
