Stumbling other humble seekers of Christ is seriously warned against.
An eternally saved person may be so severely punished in the kingdom age for his stumbling another Christian. I may think a fellow believer is child like in my hands and easy to put down. If I stumble one when I come before Christ it could be very serious.
Such an unrepentant Christian might prefer that he had been attached to a huge stone and the stone dropped into the sea rather than face the discipline Jesus might have for him.

"He therefore who will humble himself like this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens.
And whoever receives one such little child because of My name, receives Me.
And whoever stumbles one such little child who believes into Me, it is more profitable for him that a great millstone be hung around his neck and he be drowned in the open sea.
Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! For it is necessary for stumbling blocks to come, but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes, " (Matt. 18:4-7)
