Are you a sinner or a saint?

Question

1 Peter 4:18 says that if the righteous scarcely be saved,where should the ungodly and the sinner appear?

So whos going to heaven, and why do so many so called "sinners that are christians" think that there heaven bound

Jesus said he came to save us from sin, NOT in sin, so therefore we once were sinners but when we are washed in the blood we lose that sinner status and become saints when we receive his spirit

Answer 1

I agree with you. It is the Baptists and the Catholics who will disagree. The Bible says all have sinned, not all are sinning. I think the basis behind the disagreement is usually the definition of sin. I believe sin is a willful transgression against a known law of God. That is not the Baptist definition.

Answer 2

1st of all Jesus' apostles and his faithful servants will be going to heaven. Read Hebrews 4: 15. Revelation 14 :1 tell us that a 144,000 will go to heaven. But all hope is not lost for at Psalms 37:29 states that righteous ones will posses the earth and reside forever upon it. At Har-Magedon wicked persons will be cut off the earth forever Psalms 37 :10- 12. By the ways all of us on earth are sinners we inherit from our first parents Adam and Eve.So yes I'm a sinner and you and everyone you know and don't know are sinners. Through Christ ransom scarified we are able to praise Jehovah our God. There are no saints among us today.

Answer 3

As for your additional details, I suggest that you read 1 Timothy 1:15: "Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst." Sin doesn't stop with belief in Jesus Christ, but forgiveness begins.

We are all sinners. It is only through the salvation offered by Jesus Christ that a person can receive forgiveness for their sins.

Only those who believe in Jesus Christ can attain eternal life.

Answer 4

We are all sinners, that's why Jesus died for our sins, his blood covers are sins, to save us from Hell. Try going just 40 days with out sinning, most all cannot do it. The closer you get the more your temped. Most sinners can go to Heaven, as long as you ask the Lord for forgiveness with sincerity. If Jesus didn't cover our sins, no one would be in Heaven.

Answer 5

Neither saint or sinner guy should be One chains you up, the different units you loose. Being human with faults is the position that is at it really is how we learn,on Yahoo Chat. Oh I take it again,i do not prefer to be a sinner, I basically replied a question, i prefer to be the winner.

Answer 6

Well in my opinion I am not a sinner but I am a saint who is kind and sweet to people. I am nice to people at church and when I go to different places. I never fight anybody in school when I was younger when some girl tried to beat me up for some strange reason. If you don't love your parents that's called a sinner cause God gave you to the right loving parents.

Answer 7

Everyone is a sinner. Its your heart. GOD knows your heart. If you truly want to repent he will forgive your sins. Jesus didn't come for the saved he came for the sinners. JESUS told the thief that he would be in heaven with HIM. That's just my opinion.

Answer 8

I am a Saint that was washed in the Blood of The Lamb. Yet I still struggle with "unconfessed" sin in my life. There is still a war between my flesh and my spirit, "the Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" i am going to Heaven because I accepted my saviou's grace and death for my redemption.

Answer 9

i'm a sinner but i believe that heaven isn't just for the pure of heart and good. there is loads of space for sinners. God loves all regardless of sin or saint.

Answer 10

In my NIV translation is it says "If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?" Before this verse, it says that judgment will begin with the family of God, those who love Him and obey Him. The point is, if we're the first ones God deals with, the ppl who were obeying Him, if He judges them first, it's going to be even worse for those who don't love God. That when God is done judging the Christians, it will be even worse for the rest of the world, those who disobey God.

If it's hard to be a Christian (someone who's doing what God wants), it's going to be even harder for the nonbeliever (who rejects God and His commands)
