Position with God
1. What happens when we do bad things after we are saved? Do we lose our salvation? Do we stand before God for judgment about those sins in the afterlife? If we commit suicide as a believer, do we go to hell?

Position #1 SAVED. The soul/spirit is forgiven and right before God.
|
|
The spirit is justified and sanctified and cannot sin.
Positioned with Jesus: Ephesians 2:5,6 No condemnation: Romans 8:1; John 3:18 Justified: Romans 5:1; Romans 5:9; Acts 13:39; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Romans 8:30; Titus 3:7 Cannot sin: 1 John 3:9; 1 John 3:6; Romans 4:7,8; 1 John 5:18 |
|
Position #2 UNSAVED. The soul/spirit is not forgiven. Called the carnal, natural man.
|
|
The law that is written in the heart and mind battles with the carnal man. The Mosaic law (law given by Moses) enlightens/ shows the law within.
Romans 7: 13-23 v. 22 "law of God after the inward man" is the law written in the heart and mind. Romans 1: 28-32 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient... Verse 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. |
|
Decisional #3 SAVED.
|
|
Saved but decides to either walk in the flesh or in the Spirit. Galatians 5:16-25
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light Ephesians 5:8 |
3. Due to our position in Christ, we cannot lose our salvation.

4. Is it okay to sin since we can't lose our salvation?
|
A. Grace covers sin so should we continue sinning? Romans 6:1-19
B. Sinning willfully will bring God's correction Hebrews 10:26-31 C. God might deliver us to Satan for his ill will against us or kill our bodies 1 Corinthians 5:5 D. Our testimony affects others and we are accountable Ezekiel 3:16-21 and Acts 20:26,27 E. Judgment for believers 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 |
