“Suicide is the only unforgivable sin.”

That’s a roman catholic doctrine. Most Christians do not follow that belief and just see it as yet another sin that Jesus paid the debt for.

As a Catholic let me say that the only unforgivable sin is cursing the Holy Spirit.

Serious question, not mocking

Do "most Christians" believe that you need to repent of a sin in order to receive forgiveness for the commission of that sin?
Or do "most Christians" believe that you are automatically forgiven whether you repent of the sin or not?
Or, alternatively, do "most Christians" believe that once you have been saved that you are not capable of sinning? [meaning that nothing you do will be held to your account or, alternatively, if you do sin, you weren't really saved in the first place]

That's one thing that has always confused me.
