[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5237582, member: 24302"] It's not complicated. When I came up out of the water when baptized I was in a saved state. My past sins were washed away. It's up to me to live my life in such a way that on the Day of Judgement I will be admitted into heaven. I do not have to be perfect. God judges my heart. But I will be judged. All of us will. If it isn't necessary to live the Christian life to enter into Heaven there would be no need for judgement for Christians. You said there's never been an instance of a redeemed sinner losing his soul. How would you know that? The Day of Judgement hasn't arrived. This isn't a matter of rival ideologies competing for your church membership. Our soul is the most precious thing we have. It matters that we get this right. When you've asked me as you have about women in the past I know we're told to flee fornication. I can't live my life just like any other non-Christian and be pleasing to God. And I'm by no means perfect. I have to make an effort. Thinking that I'm saved no matter what I do will certainly lead to my destruction. [/QUOTE]
