There are no verses in the New Testament indicating the believer can ever unseal nor unseals what God has sealed.***

Nice Biblical informative post, thanks.

Reminds me of Nicodemus

There is a reason God used the term born again.

Simply put, you cannot be unborn.

Once you are born again, God seals you into his kingdom.

If you are indeed born again, sin has no hold on you and cannot cause you to lose your salvation.

We are saved through faith in Him. Period.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

When that happened, God canceled the record of sin debt that we owe and eliminated it. It is covered by the death of Jesus, having been nailed to the cross where His complete judgment and punishment for our sin fell. IOW, it's all paid for when Jesus said "It is finished"

Colossians 2:13-14 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

He then seals us with His Holy Spirit and transfers us into His kingdom (done now while we are still alive and here on earth) and we are seated with Jesus in heaven, in the spiritual realm, even now.

Ephesians 1:13-14 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

Colossians 1:13-14 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Ephesians 2:4-7 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

What about a NON-believer?

One who USED to believe; but now; for whatever reason; no longer does?

Brilliant! Someone finally referred to John 3! A Catholic would not dare comprehend it however.
