UNREPENTANT CHRISTIANS? BY STEVE FINNELL
Will unrepentant Christians spend eternity with God? Are Christians promised eternal security even if they live ungodly lives?
The devil and his angels were once with God in heaven. Did they have eternal security. Of course they did not.
Jude 1:6 And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,
Angels who abandoned God will be lost. Calvinists say Christians cannot fall away because they have eternal security.
Hebrews 6:4-6 For in the case of those who were have once been enlightened and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers to come, 6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance.....
It is impossible for these Christians to repent simply because they have no desire to repent. They are not once saved always saved.
DO UNREPENTANT CHRISTIANS HAVE ETERNAL SECURITY?
The letter the apostle Paul sent to Corinth was addressed to Christians, it was not sent to guests of the church nor anyone outside the body of Christ. (1 Corinthians 1:2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.) The message to those Christians was if you continue in a sinful lifestyle you will not inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:8-11 ...you do this even to your brethren. 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you ; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
The operative phrase here is "Such were some of you." It is not, are some of you.
Unrepentant Christians will meet the same fate as unbelievers who reject Jesus as the Christ. Unrepentant sinners and unrepentant Christians will not inherit the kingdom of God.
There is a difference between Christians who sin and Christians who live an unrepentant sinful lifestyle.
1 John 1:5-10... 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;
ALL CHRISTIANS SIN, BUT NOT ALL CHRISTIANS ARE UNREPENTANT SINNERS.
ONCE IN GRACE ALWAYS IN GRACE IS ONE OF SATAN'S MANY LIES.
