Bible Note: Hello Angel, You have no idea what my interpretation of Scripture is. What you have stated of it is a caricature. 1. We are to no longer live in sin. Rom 6:15-16 (ESV) What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! [16] Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 1. I will sin. 1 John 1:8 (ESV) If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 3. God can cleanse that sin. 1 John 1:9 (ESV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. What I cannot find in my Bible is the verse which goes between 2 and 3 that states we lose our salvation if we don't confess that one sin. Now to the point of my previous post. How can we be sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise (who is a guarantee) and yet lose that promise/guarantee based on one sin. You responded to my statement (dying immediately after sinning) with the empty lip-service you say will never be enough. So my question still stands. If a believer dies with one unconfessed sin, will God condemn him to a lost eternity? Steve |
