Theological question on FB: “Do we lose salvation with every sin or only ‘continual/practicing sins.’”
Christian response…
If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and repented of your sin, received the Holy Spirit as the Seal and Guarantor of relationship with God the Father, you are secure forever in that relationship and Jesus Christ has told you this as well (John 10:28-30).
If one is “continually practicing sin,” there is serious doubt concerning the authenticity of their faith and relationship with God the Father (Matthew 7:15-20). No one that is truly born-again by the indwelling Holy Spirit will seek to live in willful sin…this simply cannot happen; therefore, you cannot lose what you’ve never possessed.
When we sin by commission or omission as believers-the redeemed, we immediately ask forgiveness (1 John 1:9) NOT to reestablish our salvation but to reestablish intimacy with our Lord. The most precious gift of the Salvation experience is peace and intimacy with our God (Romans 5:1). Sin disrupts this intimacy; therefore, the faithful confess their sin and apologize in order to maintain intimacy, closeness, with the God we love.
It’s the same with our family, our friends, those we love but might insult or hurt with our selfish behavior…we ask forgiveness in order that the bond of love can be enjoyed…not to reestablish that bond but only to enjoy it fully (Romans 5:1). Unlike the unpredictability of human relationships in the realm of Time, God the Father promises to keep His children secure when they have sincerely entered into a relationship with Him by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and having received the indwelling Holy Spirit of Promise, forever (John 14:16).

You cannot lose what you do not possess, salvation is our inheritance, our inheritance is reserved in heaven 1st Peter 1 verse 4, we are not saved now, we are in the process of being saved and we will be saved if if if if and unto the end. Salvation happens in a moment in the twinkling of an eye. FYI the Holy Spirit and the father are one in the same oh, the Trinity Doctrine is a very dangerous Doctrine. The Trinity Doctrine hides the fact that we can literally and factually be born into the family of God as full sons and daughters, you cannot be born of God if you are not first begotten of God. You cannot be born into the god family if you are not born of God. The spirit draws a distinction between being begotten of God and being born of God in 1st John 5:18 where only the begotten of God or warned that keep themselves, those born of God we’re not told to keep themselves, they were given a seed and that seed remains in them and they cannot cannot cannot sin, most people do not understand this because they do not understand being born of God so they just scratch out those words, cannot sin and these are the words they write in place of God’s words, whoever is born of God does not practice does not continue completely corrupting 1st John 5:18 and 1st John 3 verse 9. Yeah it’s a scripture don’t make sense just keep adding your own words and tell it makes sense, you’ll be okay, not
