Once "SAVED" can you sin willingly over and over and make it to Heaven?

Question

I don't think this is possible,,,,,,,how do you feel about it?

Answer 1

Yes you can sin willingly,once saved, And yes you really were saved. But then you are no longer saved. I know because I saw people that were truely Christians and lived the Strong Christians lives For many, many year's and then one instant Sin Willingly and saw their life go down the drain from their.

Some denomination's don't think you were really saved if you sin willingly, but I've seen it lived before and afterward's and know the difference. But it's biblical if you believe completly what the bible say's and read what the bible say's. You can't just believe here and their you got to believe entirely what the bible say's.

But If they sin willingly and don't confess then they won't make it to heaven your right. But if they do confess their sin's again and admit that they are wrong, then yes they will make it to heaven.

But they have to turn their lives 100% over to the Lord. But not if they keep on sinning, Grace is not an excuse to keep on sinning.

Answer 2

No. I understand that many, many who claim they are Christians sin willingly over and over and then claim they are only human that they are forgiven and we must not judge them for God is working on them, but Hebrews 10:26 says: For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth there remained no More sacrifice for sins.

Okay according to the writer of Hebrews if you keep sinning willingly there is no more sacrifice for sins. Yes we all sin and fall short of the glory of god Romans 3:23 but that is not a license to sin willingly.

Answer 3

Once "SAVED" can you sin willingly over and over, I don't think this is possible, you are right, and Paul agrees with you.

Time and again Paul likens the Christian’s course to a “race” that must be run to the finish. “Let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” he urged the Hebrews. (12:1, AV) To enter the race, sinners must take the steps necessary for salvation: hearing and accepting the Word of God, believing in Jesus Christ and his ransom sacrifice, repenting of their sins and being baptized. In this way, they get saved “from this crooked generation,” as Peter exhorted those gathered at Pentecost. Unbelievers are outside the race, having failed to enter by getting “saved.”Acts 2:37-40.

Once entered in the race by being “saved,” a Christian takes “hold of the life which is life indeed.” But is it possible to lose that grip on life? Paul answers with this question: “Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize?” In the Christian race, Paul indicates the “one” who receives the prize is anyone who finishes the race. Therefore, Paul urges, “So run that you may obtain it.” Then, using himself as an example to make the point of his illustration, he continues: “I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.” 1 Tim. 6:19.

Evidently the apostle, who surely was a “saved” Christian, believed that even he could be “disqualified” from the race. Yet as long as he continued to ‘run that he might obtain’ the prize, thus remaining in the race, salvation was assured. This is why Christians who remain in the race can be said to ‘have everlasting life.’ But if they should ever quit the race, they are “disqualified,” losing their hold on everlasting life.

Answer 4

In theory, yes. However, someone who has truly accepted Jesus as their personal Savior shouldn't want to sin willingly, over and over. If they do, I doubt whether they were ever truly saved to begin with. Salvation through Christ is more than a simple understanding in your head; it's a life change in your heart. However, if you truly have accepted Christ as your savior in your heart, you are saved from all sin. Still, your actions and choices on Earth decide how you will spend eternity. If you want to be close to God, to 'earn crowns' in Heaven, you should strive to live a Godly life.

Answer 5

GREAT QUESTION. 1ST OF ALL PAUL MENTIONS THAT HE HAD THE THORN IS HIS SIDE , WE KNOW THAT IT WAS A SIN PROBLEM, BUT NOT EXACTLY WHICH ONE. HE TEACHES US TO STRIVE TO BE HOLY AS JESUS WAS/IS. ROM 3:23 WE'VE ALL SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. BUT WHEN YOUR BORN AGAIN YOU BECOME A NEW PERSON AND THE OLD LEAVES AND THE NEW BEGINS. FOR SOME IT TAKES LONGER TO CLEANSE THE HEART THAN OTHERS. SOME WORK HARDER THAN OTHERS AT THIS PROCESS. THE BAPTISTS TEACH THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED AND I FIND THIS DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT. THERE ARE THOSE THAT HAVE BOUGHT INTO THIS AND THINK THAY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT AND ALL IS WELL, I DISAGREE. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO? ALTHOUGH I BELIEVE THAT ITS IMPORTANT TO CONFESS YOUR SINS DAILY, IM NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES. WHERE SIN IS CONCERNED PAUL TEACHES US THAT ALL SINS HURT THE BODY AND SEX SIN DESTROYS THE SOUL. TRY AND EXPLAIN THAT TO SOME CHRISTIANS AS I HAVE AND SEE HOW FAR YOU GET. FOR THOSE THAT CAN HEAR, LET THEM HEAR AND FOR THOSE THAT CAN SEE LET THEM SEE.
GOD BLESS

Answer 6

I belive that is called living in Sin. Personally I'm not sure. I would lean toward no. Let me explain. Our God asks us to repent. Now repenting is said to be literally running the other way. If you cannot be genuinely remorseful for your wrongdoings then God cannot forgive you. I'll have to bring this one up to the pastor.

I guess look at homo's. They willingly live in Sin, yet some churches teach their damnation and others don't. For me, you can't truly believe in Christ and choose to live in sin.

Answer 7

No. The old "once saved, always saved" is an excuse used by 'born-again' Christians to justify doing whatever they want. You must be truly repentant and perform "works that befit repentance" to be forgiven. (Acts 26:20) Otherwise, why would the Bible be trying to turn people away from doing bad, if it didn't matter?

Answer 8

i dont think its possible either, once you are saved by the blood of the Lamb, the Holy Spirit will convict you of any sin, but if you sin willingly then i think that you are disgracing Jesus all over again.....

Answer 9

If God can boot out 1/3 of the angels in heaven for rebelling he can do the same to us.

Answer 10

It depends on what particular doctrine you beleive in, some believe you can sin and still be saved, others believe it takes repentance for those sins to be washed away. I'm certainly no expert but I would suggest you look up "christian doctrine" in google and see what you can find on it.
