so once i accept jesus as my lord and personal savior...?

Question

what sins can i still get away with as long as i repent them?

Answer 1

Try it and see. Once you are actually saved I think you'll find the Holy Spirit's intervention in your choice to sin.

Answer 2

You make a good point. But what about the sin that you don't realize you've committed? If you don't repent of that one, aren't you still destined for hell? Or are you just going to grant yourself a plenary indulgence every day with a quick "sorry" before bedtime? Hopefully you'll die in your sleep, because any sin that is not repented of, is basically a loss of salvation, is it not?

Yes, we both see how ridiculous this is. But this is the Arminian position of "once saved, not always saved" that must by definition fold right into your question, what can we get away with if God is supposed to be loving? What is a small sin that God will brush away, what is a big sin that leads to eternal damnation? And at what point is salvation retained or lost after acceptance of Christ?

The only answer that makes sense, is that you do not accept Jesus. It is God who "accepts" his own through predestination, calling, saving, and holding on to them. Salvation is from eternity to eternity, some of us just don't know it yet. Not that we deserve salvation, our faith is given to us. The faithful will sin, and struggle with that sin. Those who do not believe, sin but do not struggle. They shake their fist at God instead, and heap condemnation upon themselves. The Shepherd knows his sheep, and the sheep know his name. The Christian will sin, but will guard against that sin by relying on the Lord. And when they fall, he will catch them and bring them back to himself. The reprobate do not get that honor.

Answer 3

God knows the heart.

If a person repents and accept Jesus Christ the Son, God the Father and the Holy Spirit, all sins are forgiven and you have no desire to sin.

You are playing with fire, and what does fire do, it burns!

Answer 4

None!! You can not sin and expect to be forgiven. The Bible says to turn from sin. That does not mean that you won't sin but you don't say to yourself "I am gonna go out and sin today and know that God will forgive me!" It just doesn't work that way!! We all sin daily but if you do it intentionally because you feel God will forgive you, then that is a different story.

Answer 5

That is not the right attitude. We all fall short from the glory of God but you have not repented if you do not change. You might have several times that you struggle, but Jesus died for all of your sins and you are forgiven if you ask forgiveness and change. Jesus is calling you for a change.

Answer 6

Dear,

Are you Jews?. Are you Israel?.

Jesus is for the Jews. Jesus for Israel.

I code one example to a women of Canaan asking for treatment for her daughter. Jesus said: "I'm exist/created by God for Israel (Jews) those who are mislead". Jesus assistant asked Jesus to help because the Canaan women really need the helping. Jesus said "do not give any bread to the dog. Do not give to the pig". Give only the surplus/remains/residue.

You and me are dog and pig. Think of it!.

Answer 7

what religion were you before this decision...and that's the weird thing I don't understand about the sins are forgiven thing...but all I know is everytime I commit one that I know is dead wrong I repent for it!!

Answer 8

The sin of finishing last in the Marathon.

Answer 9

A truely saved person will defineitely flee from sin.
Bible clearly puts it that, you can't play games with God. He isn't a fool or somone you can manipulate.

Answer 10

If you really want to serve Jesus, you wouldn't ask a question like that.
