Good question. The Bible says if we believe we will be saved. God saves us knowing we will sin again. I don’t think you will lose your salvation, but I do think a saved person feels remorse when they sin, and that they seek forgiveness and an earnestness to not sin again.

If you deny God after you have been saved......I don’t know.

I admit that I am just a babe in the woods when it comes to such things, I can only go on what is in my heart and how I celebrate God’s love for me and his sacrifice so that I can be saved. I am always growing in my understanding of God’s creation and his plan for me.

I appreciate the discussion.

I honestly don't see how someone who is truly born of the Spirit can deny God, I mean seriously deny Him.

Although Peter did deny knowing Christ and Christ's response shows how God responds.

I think there's then the issue of choosing to reject Him, which I see as a different situation. I think that gives people the most trouble in the whole losing your salvation thing.
