Sinners are NOT saved yet.
Sinners get saved and become saints who are positionally in Christ in heaven NOW.
They can still slip and sin, but that does not cost them their salvation.
We are sealed with the promised Holy Spirit until the day of redemption. Jesus promised that those who believe in Him would NEVER perish.
I’ll believe Him over the Catholic church any day.
Sinners In Christ are assured their salvation... for Christ has completed the work necessary for them to be acceptable before a Holy God, other wise His death, burial and resurrection were for nothing at all:
“They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mt. Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even forever” ...(Psalm 125:1-2).
“I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them to do them good. I will put my fear in their hearts. They shall not depart from me”.
Our Savior promises,... “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one” (John 10:27-30).
In Romans 8:28-39, the apostle Paul tells us that God is for us in his sovereign providence ...in his saving purpose ..... and in his substitutionary provision.
... And “if God be for us, who can be against us?” “God shall confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord”..... (I Corinthians 1:8-9).
“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it” (I Thessalonians 5:24).
Read I Peter 1:2-5......
All of these texts of Scripture tell us one thing:.... God’s elect are eternally secure in Christ. They shall never perish. “The foundation of God standeth sure.” Salvation is the work of God alone. And that which God does is done forever ......(Eccles. 3:14).
