What are you saved from if you continue to sin since no one is perfect? Also, what is backsliding? Thanks for the responses in advance....

Come on fellas.....LOL.

Saved:

Accepting that Christ died for you and that eternal salvation is possible thru him. It is precisely that no one is perfect that one can continue to fall short and yet still be in good graces with the Lord.

Backsliding:

Picture a hill that your climbing with perfection being at the top...and you're striving towards that. It's slippery slope and rather than moving towards the top, you slid backwards down the slope...away from the perfection that you seek.

Okay, seriously...I think to be saved you have to change your ways or strive to, knowing you'll fall short....and you have to accept God as your savior, realize Christ, and try to be a true Christian that follows the Bible. You probably have to try to be humble, help out the poor, but most importantly, I think if you love God and love people, then you're saved....but who really knows?

I think backsliding is falling back into your old bad sinful habits....but honestly who doesn't do that? Who on Earth really doesn't backslide on something?

Then why can't they simply ask for forgiveness. What difference does being saved makes if you continue to 'fall short'? Are all Christians, no matter what denomination, saved since all accept Jesus the Christ as the savior?

Thanks for the input. Feel free to answer my last post of questions and are you saved?

I have no idea? Does anyone really know if they saved or not? I hope so, but unfortunately, I could be wrong.

Being 'saved' means you have accepted Christ's gift...if an individual refuses to accept that gift...why would they be inclined to ask for forgiveness?

When you're saved you want to do what pleases Christ...I don't believe once saved always saved and that you can't be lost...

lol...okay but i've heard people say that they are saved and very proudly.

maybe( and hopefully) they are....but there were Christians in the Church in the Bible ( Revelations, I forget where ) who were lukewarm and they thought they were saved, but God said he'd vomit them out.

Also, Jesus said there will be some on the last day that will say,"father father" and he'll say,"i don't know you"

so, who really knows?

I didn't know Christ was giving away presents...... nah, seriously and no disrespect but....

Didn't we all receive this "gift" but first tell me what that gift is please? Everyone has their own terms and definitions please explain what it means to you so I may understand.

So there is no reason to ask for forgiveness once you are saved and continue to backslide? Dat doh sound right to me, but hey that's me.

I think all believers of god want to do what pleases god. No?
