I desire and attempt to live a godly life but not so that I can or will be saved, but because He already saved me, He took away my sins, He placed His Spirit within me and so when I live my life to glorify Him I do so out if gratitude not fear of hell or punishment. When I sin I'm heart broken, not because I'm worried I will go to hell but because I hate sin and I have dishonored God. So I seek Him in repentance confessing my sin and leaning on His strength rather than my own.

Unlike many here I post with my real name. My Facebook profile is open. Anyone that wants to know something about me can. I love life. I love the freedom I have in Christ. I know what it is to live in sin and unbelief because I wasn't raised in any church. Just because there are errant expressions of Christianity doesn't mean there isn't a true. I think many of us have been the victims in some sense of bad doctrine which breeds either fear, uncertainty, legalism or all of the above....but that's not biblical Christianity.
My question to you would be this: how much sin can a person be involved in and still be "Saved"? I know for a fact, you can't truly answer this question, but the point is, does God reject His Children after they are his Children, or His Creation after He created them?
