For those that think that one can lose their salvation, a question. How many sins does it take?
Stophel,
Since you didn't get any takers yet, I'll give you the Bible answer instead.
For an unbeliever, they are already condemned by
One single sin following an age which God holds them accountable.
"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in
one point, he is guilty of all."
I don't believe that anyone here is perfect.
He said,
"He that believeth on him is not condemned:
but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
Condemned by the fact that their faith in Jesus is not the sole Object of their faith. Their trust is also in their ability to keep the law.
Unfortunately, they think that "whosoever believeth on Him" is on probation until they die.
I made the case, as did Pastor Arnold, that everlasting life is a GIFT that can Not be earned by good behavior. Nor can that life be forfeited by the fantasy that they will not longer sin.
It might be worth it for those who are holding onto God somehow, to let go and trust Him to hold onto them.
What do you think Stophel?
