Still saved, or not?

[HealthAndHappiness]

OK, here's the deal. I got born again not long ago and I attend a southern baptist church which is where I was born again at.

For quite a while before I got born again I've been living with my girlfriend and I still do. She is not born again and after talking to her about it several times she's indicated that she's not interested in religion in anyway and says she no longer wants to talk about it. We get along just fine otherwise.

Recently I've been talking religion with an older guy I work with that attends a different church in the town I live in and he's claiming that since I'm living with my girlfriend and having sex outside of marriage that I'm living in sin and if I died I would not go to heaven. That's what I'm trying to get to the bottom of by taking to others outside of the church I attend as well as outside of the opinions of my coworker.

I talked to my pastor about this and he is saying that once a person gets born again it's not possible for them to not go to heaven when they die even if they were to be living in sin. My pastor has acknowledged that he thinks I am actually living in sin but then also says I'll still go to heaven anyway which seems kinda odd.

This is confusing because my coworker and I have exchanged a bunch of emails about this and he has shared some bible references that do appear to be saying I would not go to heaven but when shown to my pastor he claims I can ignore all the bible references my coworker is speaking of.

My pastor is apparently a big fan of a preacher named Charles Stanley and bought me a copy of a book he wrote called Eternal Security: Can I Be Sure That I'm Going to Heaven? and in this book this preacher guy is saying the same thing my pastor is saying which I suppose is why my pastor is a fan.

In case anybody wants to know this preacher's book can be found on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Eternal-Security-Charles-Stanley/dp/0785264175/ref=sr_1_1?crid=7DFSPK5K2N5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.H8ADhfWF-YGJpFdhj5lWkn9T0Mayr4jEaCIN3D1cUMCowyK6M8D9dpq9plOhc9bwaGJ2RN-GnYSiUTMF1oBRCxm8Zbg6KhLwtKl73CjQQdK2egEs6qCfvdkaZBkwmDrlKwShosPDJZciA0niQGP0UJyf_MVtXuik3ruTcwe89de9oP3yYYTuBgx8OBOUNlBV4aERWz9IK2-dxjx7WcmAvljTy1ehtTKAYVNIC11cbOg.WNsGDa2Q8j0Y0Z684ooDGYDabTbJzd9mdJv1rNErzK4&dib_tag=se&keywords=Charles+Stanley,+Eternal+Security&qid=1770317879&sprefix=charles+stanley,+eternal+security,aps,407&sr=8-1

So what's the deal with all this? I guess I'd like to hear from both sides and see what bible references supports each point of view and decide what is right and what isn't when it comes to living with my girlfriend.

I think there's a misunderstanding on the issue of salvation.

After salvation, God treats His children with correction when necessary. They have the option of Judging themselves 1 Corinthians 11:31 KJV and confessing their sins 1 John 1:9 KJV. This restores fellowship, that is, puts the child on speaking terms once again with his Father.

This is the shortest and clearest description of this truth than any other video I can find.
Salvation and the sins of the believer<

Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
Acts 16:30-31 KJV

 

[BillyBob]

So it's like my pastor says then right? I cannot lose my salvation regardless?

I question why you are asking this if you are in fact saved.
I think that you really need to examine where you are in relationship with Christ.
If you say you are saved but are looking for an excuse to live in sin, then you have a problem. The very fact that you have been saved will make you seek a closer relationship with Christ who saved you.
A person who is in truly in Christ will always desire to please Him, [out of love for Him and what He has done]. We sometimes fail, but His steadfast love endures forever.

If you feel no change in your life, then please begin to study His word and pray for wisdom and understanding.

Never perish.
No CONDEMNATION.
You have eternal life.
Nothing, NO NOTHING can separate you from the love of Christ.

Stop and learn these very important doctrines/truths.

THEN stop and learn how to live the Christian way of life.

Do not grieve the Spirit.
Do not quench the Spirit.
Be filled with the Spirit.
Walk in the Spirit.

If we do this, then we have a fighting chance at "cleaning up our lives." It's all for naught if we are not following His Mind and protocol plan for our lives.

Once you are born again, you have eternal life. Done deal.

Now, because you have the Holy Spirit now indwelling your spirit, then you are going to get quickened and convicted by the Holy Spirit when you sin.

So.. you would still be going to heaven..but expect chastening from Jesus thru the Holy Spirit to discontinue living like this.

John 3:16, 3:36, 5:24, 6:40...is eternal life given.

Matthew 18 and the like is the chastening and correction.

Bottom line is once saved always saved, and that comes with discipline from God when you fail in your walk.

 

[homwardbound]

Its not sin because some Christian told you it was. And lets get this out of the way.. there is no sin that breaks that causes you to lose you salvation. You have to know Christ came died rose (shouting time) for you and then reject it and go off sinning. Whats left for you? Judgment.

Haha ask us go for it ask us about our lives and what we did when He first found us. We all fall we all miss it..we all get dusty.. just get up dust off and keep going. So pray ask Him about this. This preacher one day just something felt wrong so he prayed.. the church prayed.. they got alone prayed for days seeking the lord. One day Christ shows up. At one point Christ said "if I had come I would have left you here". Saved yes. He didn't know why then he finds him self back in the past preaching undressing women.. now driving looking out the window lusting after women. Oh yes he got right repented.

In this case .. he said he didn't know it was sin.. I have a problem with that.. yet well do something we personally believe is not sin yet odd were saved. Sin hinders God sin means less rewards. But I can not freely willingly sin and then say ooh I am a follower of Christ. I can have things in my life I am working on.. God help me here or there.. I am say stuck in this sin.. please help me.. things like that but no who cares.. freely sin. No no no. walking a fine line no one can answer and you do not want to do that.

Why Stanly said about some that can sin and still be saved but have no reward. Its that person that does not believe its a sin. Because I say it is .. means nothing. They have to know GOD said it was inside their heart. In other places.. just having braids in your hair.. sin lost. its crazy what we do to His Children. He does not will not condemn you. There is no condemnation to them in Christ Jesus.

So pray ask Him. Fact.. sorry but.. there is no maybe someday she will believe. what I would do or not do matters not. He loves you He is not against you..what He started He will finish. Don't get caught up in sin..don't get caught up and seeing sin here sin there. No just get your eyes on Jesus.. ask Him.. lord I am stuck here and (just saying) I don't want to Change but help me change.. Change my heart to be like yours. Or what ever .. ask Him.. He is real.... He will always help.. we need to ask and then know He will.

yet, I think I get it, does this express it below

• Cleansing from "Dead Works": The focus is on moving from guilt-driven religious acts to serving God with a free heart.
• The New Covenant: Christ’s sacrifice as Mediator provides a once-for-all cleansing, freeing believers from a continuous, guilty conscience.
• God not only forgives sin but he forgets sin and he cleanses the guilty conscience.

 

[JayWalker]

What I'm saying is that if you truly believe that Jesus has bought you eternal life through His soul-rending sacrifice, and you ALSO believe that He is telling you to stop having sex with your girlfriend, then why is that not important to you?

I'm not dating any other women and I'm faithful to my girlfriend.

I heard someone recently that for all intents and purposes my girlfriend and I are actually married. We have become one flesh and we are not seeing any other people having no interest in dating anybody else.

Why is this a problem and why is this considered sinful?
Is it because we have not gotten a marriage certificate from the state and gone before a judge so he can pronounce us man and wife?

Can anybody show my in the bible where we are told to get a marriage certificate and go before a judge so he can pronounce us man and wife in order to be married?

there is no sin that breaks that causes you to lose you salvation.

OK so Christians can in fact sin all they want and still be saved?

That seems to be the position of my pastor and the Charles Stanley.

I suppose this is why it's called eternal security

Once you are born again, you have eternal life. Done deal.

Thanks. Sounds like I can ignore the rest of what you wrote

when you fail in your walk.

I'm still saved so there's no fail in my walk right?

 

[HeIsHere]

I'm still saved so there's no fail in my walk right?

You can fail in your walk (discipleship, weak fellowship with God, faithfulness) but you cannot become spiritually unsaved.

I would agree that you are married in a sense, marriage is not about a pastor's words, but it is about a public declaration of commitment.

 

[ResidentAlien]

I heard someone recently that for all intents and purposes my girlfriend and I are actually married. We have become one flesh and we are not seeing any other people having no interest in dating anybody else.

You may have become one flesh but you're not married. Sexual intercourse may, in a sense, make two become one; however, the New Testament teaches that the place for that to happen is within the sanctity of marriage.

Hi Jaywalker, it's true that God considers marriage to be more than a certificate, but even in Jesus' time a certificate was still involved. It was called a ketubah and was agreed upon by the 2 families during the year-long betrothal period wherein the couple was considered legally bound but not permitted to have sex.

Breaking a betrothal required an actual divorce, which is what Joseph was considering when he found out that Mary was pregnant and it wasn't his baby. You can read about that in Matthew 1: 18-20

And even in Moses' time, marriage was a legally/socially binding covenant that could only be broken through death or divorce. You can read more about that (and some other things Jesus said about marriage) in Matthew 19 .

Sex (even faithful sex to just one partner), is part of marriage but it does not create marriage; it's supposed to be the other way around. For reference you can check out what Jesus said to the woman at the well in John 4:18

So to answer your question, no, biblically speaking, your arrangement with your girlfriend does not qualify for Biblically ordained marriage. Marriage is way more than just having sex; it's a lifelong commitment to love, honor, and care for one another for the rest of your lives. Perhaps that is what you feel towards your lady but without a legal lifelong public declaration before God and man with consequences if broken then it does not qualify.

Just curious, if you feel that you are already technically married to your lady, why NOT just make it official? I'm NOT saying you should, there's a lot you need to consider and seek God on in this..... I'm just curious.

Also, to be fair, you haven't known Jesus long and you've kinda entered the game at the fifth inning with runners on base. You really are going to have to seek God personally in this. 1 Corinthians 7 does have some info for those who come to Christ already married, it's worth checking out but as I've said your situation is more complicated since yall are not technically married.

I wish you both the best and will be praying that you get an answer directly from God. He always knows what He is doing .

Ultimately, God is the one who decides if you're saved or not, so you need to pray.talk to Him about that.

Nothing we tell you will actually influence God’s decision.

One flesh is children not sex.

People aren't married until they produce children? What about people who never conceive?

Sin is beyond our finite minds. The Son is beyond our finite minds..........What or who are we going to focus on?

 

[Undergrace1]

Ultimately, the question is not about eternal security, but whether your conversion experience was authentic.

I am a devout believer in the security of a believer's salvation, but I also believe that many people who run around claiming to be Christian have been deceived about their "salvation". IMO, one of the indicators of true salvation is that the person no longer engages in unrepentant sin (notice I'm not claiming that true believers never sin)

Hi, according to the sites terms of service I have twice asked for my account to be closed, could you please close it
Thank you

 

[Genipher]

OK so Christians can in fact sin all they want and still be saved?

No.

Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say, then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

We dont purposely sin and then say, welp, God will forgive me so I can do whatever I want! Following Him means we're doing our best to follow Him and NOT sin. Sometimes we mess up and ask for forgiveness but we don't wallow in sin on purpose.

 

[HeIsHere]

People aren't married until they produce children?

Never made this claim, try again.

OK, here's the deal. I got born again not long ago and I attend a southern baptist church which is where I was born again at.

For quite a while before I got born again I've been living with my girlfriend and I still do. She is not born again and after talking to her about it several times she's indicated that she's not interested in religion in anyway and says she no longer wants to talk about it. We get along just fine otherwise.

Recently I've been talking religion with an older guy I work with that attends a different church in the town I live in and he's claiming that since I'm living with my girlfriend and having sex outside of marriage that I'm living in sin and if I died I would not go to heaven. That's what I'm trying to get to the bottom of by taking to others outside of the church I attend as well as outside of the opinions of my coworker.

I talked to my pastor about this and he is saying that once a person gets born again it's not possible for them to not go to heaven when they die even if they were to be living in sin.

Sin will not enter Heaven, as we all have and do.

It's up to you to decide if your living in sin, souldls like it.

Looks like your pastor believes once saved always saved, which is not bible.

Problem on this sight you will see so many disputes on how to be saved, so it's really up to you and GODS word to decide for yourself.

So on that topic first, in John 3:5 JESUS says, John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Peter say the same thing with the first message preched in the NT,

Acts 2:38-39
King James Version
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Sounds like you want to serve GOD and the women your with does not.

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

So in the long run, you MAY follow her or she may follow you who knows?

Paul speaking about living wrong,
1 Corinthians 7:8-9
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

None of us are perfect and sin daily and need to repent, I for one am not telling you what to do it's up to us to decide.

Need to check your pastor with GODS word, not all of them follow it.

So what's the deal with all this? I guess I'd like to hear from both sides and see what bible references supports each point of view and decide what is right and what isn't when it comes to living with my girlfriend.

1.if you are truly born again, you would have heard from the Holy Spirit immediately that you shouldn't be living with your girlfriend if you are having sexual relations. 2. you are unequally yoked meaning you shouldn't be with a non believing person. 3. OSAS is true. Once Saved, Always Saved. however, everyone who thinks they became born again isn't born again. that you can tell when you see no change in the person. living in known sin, repeatedly, is not born again. the regenerated life will easily be seen by others. regenerated meaning you now think, speak & act like Jesus & will always continue to do so, growing in grace. no you won't go to heaven. think of it this way: how many things can a so-called born again Christian do & still go to heaven? 3, 5, 10, 154? that's being a 'have it your way" Christian. the Bible doesn't teach that anywhere. also, if someone knows to stop having sexual relations & doesn't, there's the proof of continued disobedience to God which won't get anyone to heaven. learn Proverbs 30:6, 1st Corinthians 6:9, James 4:3,4 & John 9:31. "can i be sure i'm going to heaven....." learn John 3:36, 10:28, Hebrews 5:9 & especially 1st John 5:13! if you are truly born again, speak to the Holy Spirit immediately & He will answer soon.

Thank you, deeply, kindly from you being led. For the true edification leaving the sin body behind as dead, being willing between God and you over any religious service, even outside of that as well. Romans 6:1-12 to stand as in Col 1:21-23 no matter what troubles happen to us here on earth first
God has proven his continued love and mercy to me as God continues to do rthat for everyone in lo ve and mercy of Son first for us all
1 John 4:17-19
