1 Cor 6:19-20 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
1 Cor 3:17 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
So yes, it can be if you have read 1 Corinthians.
Scripture says clearly that not all who say “Lord, Lord”, will be saved.
This is not just a “I accept” and it is done. By sinning grievously we should that we haven’t grown in God’s grace, but have diminished it - it is not about God reversing His gift - His gift is freely given, but He gives us the free will to freely reject this gift.
“He gives us the free will to freely reject this gift.”
Yep.
“This is not just a ‘I accept’ and it is done.”
Yes. There’s a difference between saying, “I accept”, with your mouth, and with your heart.
