If a Christian is not honest, then they will pretend that all the sins they commit, are accidents, or happened by surprise. So, there is nothing that threatens "Salvation", unless Salvation is based on behavior, as a Legalist would try to teach you to believe. The GOOD NEWS< is that Jesus came to be our sin bearer, He has borne ALL our sins on the Cross and He is now literally our Advocate in Heaven. Romans 4:8 teaches that once you are born again, God does not "impute" your sin to you any longer in eternity. (charge you) and that includes the so called "willful sin" that heretics try to twist out of the epistle to the Hebrews. And why does God not hold you accountable in Eternity for your sin, willful, accidental, or however you describe your sinning? Its because Jesus has already died for them ALL. Every single one you have committed, are committing, or ever will commit. This means that God holds JESUS accountable for all sin, sinning, sins. No matter how you label them. Christ died for them ALL, for the "sin of the world", and that includes all of yours, all of mine, and any that we the born again commit after we are saved. Jesus said.. "if possible let this CUP pass from me" ... and the CUP is the full wrath of God's judgment against sin.. The Cross is the eternal penalty JESUS paid for all our sin, for the sin of the world, and it has been paid in FULL. Thank you Jesus. !

It was a question asked of him, so that was why it was phrased that way. But no, he doesn't believe in salvation being threatened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
