How does whether or not Christ is risen from the dead change the fact that you are saved if you continue to believe what you first heard?
"2By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you." - 1 Corinthians 15:2
It doesn't matter what you change the gospel by which you saved to for Paul's words to mean what they say. The plain words say you are saved if you stick to the original, not if you change it to something else. The Corinthians changed Paul's risen savior gospel to a non-risen savior gospel. Since they did not hold firmly to what Paul originally told them they are not saved. Read the verse again, above.

If he was a threat I might agree, but anyone who ready him would see his insincerity, so I do not see him as a threat.
i hardly come into this thread anymore, and what I see, hardly anyone does, because of this stain
i use the old adage, if we stop talking to them and ignore them they will go away, because if they are not being fed, that will go where they can get fed

Very well.
If this is true, and heaven is a place where suffering ends and all tears shall be wiped away, a place of unimaginable wonder and peace (which it is), wouldn't this be motivation for some weak soul, who is suffering terrible in this life, to sin to the point of getting to heaven quicker?
But the truth is that a person who continues frowardly in sin after repeated attempts of correction will be told "depart from me ye that work iniquity".

He is of no threat, but his words can be for the those who are not discerning....... he has followers and I know of one, maybe two such
people who stopped siding with him because we continually exposed his error.
The thread was started by @dcontroversal ... and if he wants me to stop because it gives Judges a platform I will, however my
inclination is that @Judges1318 will view that as victory and continue posting anyway.

And who are the ones who work "inquity?"
If you think of yourself as sinless, then you will be judged as a worker of iniquity.
God resists the proud, but he gives grace unto the humble.
And those that are saved are saved and cannot become workers of iniquity.... we have the righteousness of Christ imputed to us.

The ones who work iniquity are those who work sin.
Those who are saved are capable of doing whatever they please; sin unto death, or obey unto righteousness.
The imputation of righteousness is credited to an unbeliever upon his/her belief in the gospel.
Now the unbeliever becomes a believer with the responsibility to walk worthy of the vocation he has been given.
