IS DISOBEDIENCE SIMPLY AN INEFFECTUAL ACT? by steve finnell

When Christians continue in a sinful lifestyle are they risking losing their inheritance in the kingdom of God or are they simply obeying the command of Satan? 

Ephesians 5:1-7 Therefore be followers of God as dear children...........3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting , but rather giving thanks. 5 For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God  comes on the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them. (NHJV)

Is unrepentant disobedience to God's commands followed by God's wrath, or is it simply the ineffectual acts of following the commands of Satan ?

IS OBEYING JESUS BY BEING IMMERSED IN WATER SIMPLY AN INEFFECTUAL ACT OF OBEDIENCE?

Jesus said "...and is baptized will be saved..." (Mark 16:16--NKJV))

Is obeying the apostle Peter's command to be baptized simply an ineffectual act of obedience?

Peter said ".. and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins..." (Acts 2:38---NKJV)

Is obeying God's commands simply the right thing to do or does it affect men's salvation?

Does God forgive the sins of the unrepentant? Does God forgive the sin of a murder if that person continues to kill people on a daily bases until he dies? You make the call!

Is refusing to be immersed in water so your sins can be forgiven being obedient to God or being disobedient?
