Even as Born Again Heaven Bound Believers in the Liberating Power of Jesus Name, one of our thoughts can be a sin.
Just. One. Thought.
So if you die before you have the chance of asking forgiveness for that thought which was a sin that you didn't even realize was a sin but just because you didn't realize it was a sin that doesn't make it less sinful so if you DIE without having REPENTED (having godly sorrow, right?) for that one single thought-- what happens to you? |
I'm more along the school of thought that believes that all our sins were atoned for at the cross. God's elect (however one wishes to define them) are "forgiven" and "it is finished". When Christ died, all our sins were yet future, so the argument that sins after salvation are different doesn't sit well with me. For God's elect, unless they become reprobate backsliders, our sins are forgiven. Now, our sins do come with consequences, even severe consequences in this life. In addition, we can lose reward in eternity, and still be saved, even if it is yet so as by fire.
