I simply asked the question in the OP, which you didn't answer.
If I said "the prayer" many years ago, can I lose my Christianity on a daily basis, for any reason, such as adultery, stealing, etc.
If not, then you shouldn't question MY Christianity in the way you do.
***and yes, I said "the prayer".
The question you need to ask yourself is simple, do you belong to God through
Jesus Christ? You can say a prayer, and ask Christ in, that doesn't mean you have
believed in your heart and actually have received Christ in.
Some say that prayer as a get out of jail free card, because they have no intention
of changing anything from their sinful ways over to the Lord. They get told by
someone they are saved, and they can now just live their lives as they always have
thinking all is well.
The thing about Christianity, there are more than a few warnings about our
turning away and why would there be if the danger isn't real. Struggling to turn
one's life over to the Lord is one thing, fighting the good fight isn't easy its hard.
The good news is that the struggle is for overcoming in this life. We win in Christ,
so those in Christ who are seeking Him to do His will may stumble, but they will
get back up.
Those that are not struggling to serve the Lord, if they have just decided to live in
sin and never seek the Lord they to are making choices that do not lead to the
overcoming life in Christ. The faith is centered on Jesus Christ, not "a" prayer.
