Born again by Jesus first.

After this we can inherit more rewards by faithfulness to Jesus.

If we aren't faithful.. we get discipline and rebuke, but not loss of unconditional love from Jesus.

He stays with us.
If we unfaithful, He rebuke us but He still love us.
Is that mean we still go to heaven?


Not adulterer.....inherit the kingdom of God

1 cor 6:9-11

9. Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

1 cor 6;6-8
6 But instead, one brother takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!

7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? 8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.

Yes V 6 Paul tell them not go to court
And also Paul say in V 8 about Cheating and wrong doing happen among
people in the church of corinthians, they cheat each other.
So in V 9-11 Paul remind people in the church of corinthians, what they did make them not inherit the k of G
1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7 Now therefore there -- is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9 -- Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:1-11

Feel free to formulate your OSNAS doctrine out of verses taken out of context. I'm not going to sweat this with you.
As I said, Paul is rebuking the Corinthian Church for taking other brothers to court to be tried by unbelievers WHO ARE...
fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind,
thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners etc.
Instead, we as born again believers will judge the world (v.2) and angels (v.3) and so ought to be able to judge the small matters. (v.2).

Why they taking other brother to court?
V8 explain because they cheat each other like unbeliever do.

And Paul continue that behavior bring you to hell, you wash by His blood must not do that.

8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.

That what I believe

Correct me If I am wrong. This is what I understand what you believe

Because you are believer, cheat each other not make you go to hell.

So your moral standart as believer is lower than non believer

Boy, if that's the case, whose not going to hell? There are many sins I have committed that I have forgotten about over the past 40 years. I have no hope according to this theology.
That's not true. You have hope in Jesus. If you accept Jesus as your savior and repent of your sins, God forgives your sins and remembers them no more. You no longer risk going to Hell.
You're at the right sight. This is a Christian community. Many people here can help you find your way to God's grace.

Again read it in context...

7 Now therefore there -- is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 1 Corinthians 6:7-8

You are wrong. Rejecting Christ sends us to hell, not our sins. Our CONTINUAL SINNING only show that we have rejected the Sacrifice Jesus enacted in our stead.

For Example commit adultery for unbeliever send them to hell,
Because moral standard for believer is lower, than for believer commit adultery is some what ok, only reduce your reward

No he won't leave.

The verses I think are about rewards rather than being sent to hell.

Compare these verses with John 3:16, 5:24, 3:36

Or it would be of people who never believed to begin with.

We are the righteous... we are not the unrighteous. "Do you not know the wicked/unrighteous will not.....".WHO do you think Hes talking to? Keep reading

If you in Christ have died to sin.. were buried with Him.. rose with Him.. you are dead to sin. He can not die over and over. He set you free from this. "some of you USED to do these things. But you have cleansed yourselves, you have been set apart for God, you have come to be counted righteous through the power of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah and the Spirit of our God. "

You can choose to walk in something that you are not or walk live in what you truly are.

One sin is enough to send you to hell. Think about it.
If you are living your Christian life according to Law rather than His Life and Grace, you will fail everytime.

Repentance for salvation is a one time deal.
That's excellent. :) I see you've availed yourself of our resources concerning the Gospel.
There are verses though that you want to keep in mind about repentance beyond that. We are never again doomed in our sins once we've accepted Christ as our savior. However, we do still do wrong from time to time.

This does not mean we lose our salvation if we do something wrong. We can never again be a lost sinner once we accept Christ as our savior. "Each person who turns to God in genuine repentance and faith will be saved."
What repentance after salvation means is we feel remorse when we do something wrong because we are now aware of God's righteousness. And what it means to be aware now of our sins, our wrong doing, and feel remorse or contrition for that.
Luke 5:31-32 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

We repent of our sins when we commit them not in order to retain our salvation but in order to feel cleansed in our own conscience for what we know we've done wrong in the sight of God. This exercise, as some call it, helps to lead us further on the path of being sanctified in Christ.
Being a Christian is a process, Christian implies Christ-like. As we journey in this life with God's holy spirit within us, we learn to trust that innate wisdom to lead us through all things. And as such we learn to walk in the light of Christ and to not be so easily led by the world we were once part of.

I hope that helps your journey further.
God Bless You.

This is that verse but in the whole chapter it was found in.
This gives you the proper context to understand what is being said about any sexual immoral act. There are references or what are called Footnotes at that link to help you also.
What is being said in the bold part below may clear things up for you. The unrighteous, the unrepentant, will not inherit the kingdom of God. Those are people who have not accepted Christ as their savior. Anyone who has not repented and accepted Christ is doomed to outer darkness or Hell. Many believe in a different thing as relates to the unrepentant sinners destiny after they die.
The bold part below clears up the teaching about sexual immorality.

1 Corinthians 6:1 When any of you has a legal dispute with another, does he dare go to court before the unrighteous rather than before the saints? 2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to settle trivial suits? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? Why not ordinary matters! 4 So if you have ordinary lawsuits, do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church?[a] 5 I say this to your shame! Is there no one among you wise enough to settle disputes between fellow Christians?[b] 6 Instead, does a Christian sue a Christian,[c] and do this before unbelievers? 7 The fact that you have lawsuits among yourselves demonstrates that you have already been defeated. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? 8 But you yourselves wrong and cheat, and you do this to your brothers and sisters![d]

9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, passive homosexual partners,[e] practicing homosexuals,[f] 10 thieves, the greedy, drunkards, the verbally abusive,[g] and swindlers will not inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Some of you once lived this way.[h] But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ[i] and by the Spirit of our God.

Flee Sexual Immorality

12 “All things are lawful for me”[j]—but not everything is beneficial. “All things are lawful for me”—but I will not be controlled by anything. 13 “Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both.”[k] The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 Now God indeed raised the Lord and he will raise us by his power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that anyone who is united with[l] a prostitute is one body with her?[m] For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”[n] 17 But the one united with[o] the Lord is one spirit with him.[p] 18 Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin a person commits is outside of the body”[q]—but the immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,[r] whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.


So you believe standard moral for Christian is higher than unbeliever or lower.
For Example commit adultery for unbeliever send them to hell,
Because moral standard for believer is lower, than for believer commit adultery is some what ok, only reduce your reward

What do you think These verse
Hebrew 6
4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen[c] away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. 7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. 8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.

Salvation is not gained by staying away from adultery, but adulterers will not be saved. I know many "Christians" in my country who cheat on theis spouses once in a while. They say you'll be counted as an adulterer only if you commit the sin frequently.

God makes me feel that adultery is a terrible sin and he has always given me strength to resist such temptations. Glory to him, because I am very imperfect.

At first it would be thought to say if we fall away from God by committing any sin, or turning from our faith, then we lose our salvation. If that were what Paul was saying then we know Jesus teachings inform us Paul is wrong.

But that is not the case. That's why I believe cutting parts of a chapter in the Bible out and sharing it with no context visible as pertains to the chapter wherein it was contained leads to confusion. And misunderstanding as well when we're hoping to understand God's words to us.

What Paul is saying is that if someone falls away they do not lose their salvation. Thinking we would do so would be like crucifying Christ all over again and that is impossible. Because Jesus was crucified once, taking the sins of the world upon himself on the cross. And that means if we fall away we are still saved. Otherwise, since Jesus died on the cross to take away our sins, if we sin by falling away and believe we have lost our salvation, what we're saying is to return to the faith would be like crucifying Christ all over again so as to have him take away our sins again.
That passage is recollecting the old covenant practice of doing works, deeds, like sacrificing animals for their blood to pay for our sins. We no longer do that.

We are eternally saved. If we sin we do not lose our salvation.

Philippians 1:6 For I am sure of this very thing,[h] that the one[i] who began a good work in[j] you will perfect it[k] until the day of Christ Jesus.

No, you're not correct. Christians aren't perfect. We do make mistakes. But we are not the sinners we were before our salvation.
That passage is referring to those who are like some you may know. They say they're a Christian but they act as they did before they found Christ. They party, do drugs, commit adultery, and so forth. Willful sinning.
Like for instance, they think because they say they believe in Jesus they're not guaranteed Heaven and can go on willfully doing wrong thinking they're still going to go to Heaven.



1John 3:4 Everyone who practices sin[r] also practices lawlessness;[s] indeed,[t] sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that Jesus[u] was revealed to take away[v] sins, and in him there is no sin. 6 Everyone who resides[w] in him does not sin;[x] everyone who sins has neither seen him nor known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness[y] is righteous, just as Jesus[z] is righteous. 8 The one who practices sin is of the devil,[aa] because the devil has been sinning[ab] from the beginning. For this purpose[ac] the Son of God was revealed: to destroy[ad] the works of the devil. 9 Everyone who has been fathered[ae] by God does not practice sin,[af] because[ag] God’s[ah] seed[ai] resides in him, and thus[aj] he is not able to sin, because he has been fathered by God. 10 By this[ak] the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: Everyone who does not practice righteousness—the one who does not love his fellow Christian[al]—is not of God.

So you believe adulterer not save but the definition of adultery is if you do It oftenly, if only once a years not consider adultery.
Am I correct
