Who are the unrighteous in 1 Cortinthians 6:9-10?

Question

Can a born-again christian live in sin and still make it to heaven? Or is it just the "unsaved" classified as the unrighteous? An debate that I would like others opions. Thanks.

Answer 1

Paul's declaration in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 is to warn some people in the Corinthian church not to presume upon their justified status. Just because we are justified by faith alone in Christ does not mean we can live any way we want. In fact, Paul is emphatic that those who continue to live like immoral pagans will not inherit the Kingdom of God because their immorality disproves the authenticity of their faith. He also states this clearly in Galatians 5:19-21 and Ephesians 5:5 (two epistles known for teaching salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone). Thus, if a person claims to be a Christian yet lives an immoral life and does not repent, he will be excluded from the Kingdom because he is a false believer.

Answer 2

a born again christian can fall into sin... because no one is perfect.. but as long as they truely repent of their sins they can make it to heaven. the only sin that cant be forgiven is blasphemy against the spirit.

Matthew 12:31
And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

Answer 3

We sin. We are sinners. Who can say that they don't?

But trusting God ( faith ) is how we connect to God, and the Holy Spirit enters into us, and we are declared saved through His grace.

Anyone who says that they don't sin is fooled buy their own desires.

Answer 4

Allah (God) forgives the sins of those who sincerely repent unto him before death overtakes them. Claiming that Allah (God) has a partner, son, wife, daughter etc is the most severe sin that one could commit. Allah (God) knows best!
