So here’s another question you will ignore: If a man accepts Christ at the age of 20 and thereby receives God’s Holy Spirit and dies at the age of 80, are you seriously suggesting that this man did not commit a single sin for 60 years? Bear in mind coveting is a sin, being angry at someone is a sin, looking on a woman with lust is a sin and bearing false ...[text shortened]... p cherry-picking Jesus Christ’s words so you can puff out your chest and strut around the forum.
Christians sin and it is up to God to forgive.
This is why your claim that you are eternally saved and that you have eternal life is nonsense. God alone knows these things.
Everyone await the day of judgment for that day when they will know their fate.
There are however a few of the NT apostles disciples etc who were told in advance of their fate and their assurance of eternal life. But to blindly apply that across the board to all Christians who accept Christ is just plain stupid.

Salvation is determined before a human being dies by whether he or she accepted Christ.
It’s pretty shocking you don’t know this.

But no matter how many times we correct him, he persists. From what I can tell, it's a stock question that comes from the dogma he has been taught and he pulls it out whenever he is unable to formulate a cogent response. It's as if he is a "slave" to it.

You both agree that a Christian (one who has accepted Christ) can occasionally still sin and enter heaven. Is that correct?

However they will not live in the kingdom or have eternal life.
How many times will you need this pointed out to you before it sinks in?

Originally posted by @rajk999I can't recall you ever being unclear in your position on this. Neither have I.
