But in my opinion, people who continue to live a willfully sinful life while saying, "I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior" might actually be hedging their bets and not acting out of sincerity. I guess I don't know how Jesus will see the matter, but I have known some really awful people who saw themselves as good Christians.
The Gospel starts with “Repent”, not “I’m OK & You’re OK”. You cannot follow Christ and rejoice in your sin.
Christians struggle with sinful desires, and regularly sin...but they do not promote sin and say sin is good. You cannot deny God’s Word and follow God. You cannot call God a liar and still claim you are following God. You cannot be forgiven if you refuse to ask for forgiveness, and claim instead that you have done nothing wrong.
Hebrews 10:26-27 GW Translation
26 If we go on sinning after we have learned the truth, no sacrifice can take away our sins. 27 All that is left is a terrifying wait for judgment and a raging fire that will consume God’s enemies.
I have always found interesting how the many religious groups all interpret the Bible differently. it's almost like going to a Literature class and one teacher tells you one thing and another has a completely polar view.
The Bible is not universally looked at the same. So it is with those who pontificate on who will go where in the afterlife, the bottom line is no one knows.
Many years ago there was a Sci-Fi book series I read that was into this topic called “Heroes In Hell” and is was tongue in cheek satire on who ended up in Hell, the Chaos that was that was there and the continuing war thereof. It was insightful and hilarious.
