Thats fine Believe what you want.

Everyone does.  I believe what the Bible says clearly, unambiguously, PRECISELY.

please note that Jesus gives the gift of eternal life WHEN a person becomes a believer, per John 5:24.  And in 10:28 He says that recipients of eternal life shall never perish.

And Rom 8:38 says that even nothing in the present or future shall separate us from the love of Christ.

So, from the MOMENT one believes and receives eternal life, they shall never perish.

That is grace.  We are saved by grace through faith.  Eph 2:8

Jesus also said those who Love me keep my commandments. Those who live after their flesh willfully  are not keeping His commandments . Does God look the other way? Those who sin willfully will not enter into Gods kingdom.

There is certainly discipline for God's children (AKA - after they are born-again with His life in them) and consequences "for things done while in the body" as per 2nd Corinthians 5:10 at the Judgement Seat of Christ. (FYI: I plan to start a sperate thread on this soon)

^{gal 5: 19-21} Now the works of the flesh are manifest, and they are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

²⁰ idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, quarreling, rivalry, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

²¹ envying, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like. About these things I tell you again, as I have also told you in times past, that those who do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Yup - sounds like severe discipline to me.  Do you see in that where someone ceases to be a child of God (their Father's life is removed from being in them)?

Well I expected as much from you.

I believe you want to corrupt Gods word against itself. You wanted something precise and a gave it to you. 

Like I stated once before.  I'll see At the judgement seat.

Sorry that you don't see the fundamental, over-arching principle of life in scripture.  I thought I answered your question . . .

Do you see in that (verses from Gal 5:19-21)  where someone ceases to be a child of God (their Father's life is removed from being in them)?

Do you see where God justifies flagrant living in unbelief

Not at all.  Very real and often severe consequences & discipline for that - for the believer's own good.

Yes, He did.  How does that relate to loss of salvation or conditional salvation?

No, He sure doesn't.  He will discipline His children just as the Bible commands parents to discipline theirs.  Not kill them.

Heb 12:11 teaches that God's discipline is painful.  No one gets away with anything.

Please provide any verse that says this clearly.  Jesus Christ paid the sin debt for every sin.  so how can any sin prevent any believer from entering into God's kingdom?

I have shared John 5:24 and 10:28, but it seems there is a lot of resistance to what they teach.  Why?  When Jesus said recipients of eternal life, which is when a person becomes a believer (Jn 5:24) they shall never perish (Jn 10:28).  

Your comments show that you do not believe what He said.
