Protestants, where in Scripture does it say that your future sins (which you have not committed) is forgiven by the Blood of Jesus Christ?
 
The idea is that the atonement of Christ is a once for all atonement and salvation is not a one time salve but rather an ongoing process between the penitent believer and a merciful God.

I should point out that if Jesus paid the price for my sins he did so in total, that is all of the sins I will ever commit and not just those up to day ‘x’ seeing as how I was not yet born when He died.

So it’s not explicit in Scripture, it’s a develop in Protestant Theology. I do believe that Jesus paid the price of our sins, but he also demanded us to obey his commandments out of love. Many times, in Scripture when someone ask Jesus, how do I gain eternal life.

Jesus said, “You shall love your God, with all your heart, with your soul, and with all your mind. You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself.”

Do you think in your opinion, you can lose your salvation when you break the 10 Commandments?
 
Ive noticed a couple quotes as sig lines here stating something like was saved, going to be saved and hope to. Kind of covering all bases. Then confession etc. (just a comment)

So, If I say Im saved,

I understand that because of that I will love my God with all my heart and soul and my neighbour as myself.

I would explain that its illogical to get saved and re saved, so one is just saved.

HOWEVER, ya still have free will and your mind can wander. Of course you can break those 10.

Thats where loving your God comes in cause if you do, you make amends with Him, if you dont then there not much love there.

We are the ones who move away from Him, He stays right where He is. In the end He really doesnt have to “send” us anywhere, because we are already there.

Didn’t Jesus die for your sins? …even before you were born?

Just because He died for our sins doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to avoid sin and repent upon sinning - If we do not repent, we reject His saving blood.

In my first post I very specifically said, “…salvation is not a one time salve but rather an ongoing process between the penitent believer and a merciful God.”

Yes I believe we can lose our salvation because of Romans 12, James 5 and Revelation’s reference to losing our portion of the tree of life, so clearly we can lose our salvation. No argument here. That is why the believer must live a life of constant penitence.
 
Jesus said… something like… Not those who call my name but those who do the will of my Father who sent me will have eternal life. Sounds as if Jesus wants us to try to be perfect and sinless.
 
Without the Sacrifice of Jesus we had no chance, with His blood, he paid the price of our salvation.
Now here is the tricky part that most don’t seem to get.
We must first, accept Jesus, ask for forgivness of our sins and to begin a new life in Christ as a Christian. If we fall, we must ask for forgivness and try our humanly best not to sin again.
:blessyou:

What you said in your first sentence here is true. But what I would like to know in your second sentence, where’s “there?”
 
This question seems kind of silly since Catholics believe pretty much the same thing only with a different mechanism for delivery as it were.

Catholics believe that the Sacrament of Reconciliation is applicable to all sins, the Grace of Christ being made available in it being sufficient and efficacious for all sins at every time of life.

hmm yea I knew what I meant :rolleyes: sorry about that, it isnt clear. let me try again. :o

I guess I was wandering in my thinking and thought of people who say God is so awful because He sends people to hell.

Those who are going to end up there, chose it themselves by moving away from God.

Is that making sense??

Thanks for asking 🙂

Yes, thank you for clarifying. 🙂

I know sometimes a brain can think faster than their fingers type! 🙂
