Eternal security, or "once saved, always saved" is not a free pass to sin. Nobody--not even Christians who are eternally secure get away with sin---ever! While I suppose eternal security could prompt some people to think they can go out and live like the devil, the opposite can be true. Eternal security can cause the person who is saved to live a life of gratitude, praise, worship, and service toward God.

I'm sour some do think they can do what what ever they what. But in Galatians 5:13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. if your do not know what the sinful nature is her is Galatians 5:19-21 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
Gal 5:20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
Gal 5:21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Anyone that claims salvation will not commit sin willfully, That is any true Christian. Yes I too know many that thinks if they repent then they can keep on sinning, That shows me their repentance was not genuine. They may have repented, But that is how far they got, they NEVER Recived that Holy Ghost of God, which is God's seal of approval.

I have no idea - but it certainly isn't biblical|
The Bible tells us without love we are nothing (1 Cor. 13)|
Eternal life does not abide in a murder's heart - and those who hate their brother are murderers (1 John)|
Our Judgment depends upon how we cared for or neglected Christ's needy ones, because what you have done to Him you have done to others; what you have failed to do to others, you have failed to do to Him (Mt. Ch 25)|
Many parts of the Bible tell us to turn from evil to good, or else we will eternally perish| (see Ezekiel Chapter 3)|
And the Gospels are filled with accounts of Jesus saying how the good will be rewarded and the evil punished|
Of course we must have faith, because that is the foundation, but sola fide is not taught in the Bible, as the Bible makes it perfectly clear that we must have more that just faith to be saved|

I don't know if many Christians actually believe it the way you state it, bit there certainly is not much teaching or preaching about repentance, forsaking sin, walking uprightly, and abandoning the world's standards of conduct.
god bless you!

Only morons who pick and choose their scriptures to fit their own ideas believe that. St Paul even brought it up. Should we sin more abundantly so that grace can abound more? NEVER! Such people know nothing of God's Plan.

Not all people do. Just some people. And they do so because they do not know the whole truth.
