If Christians sin they are no longer Christians according to the Bible (myth, believers)

Once sanctified, it was impossible for them to sin.



Great Grandma Hattie disapproved of sin, and most especially of the use of alcohol and tobacco, which she made clear to those who indulged. Hattie herself drank wine liberally and dipped snuff - - but she was sanctified and so these were not sins in her special case.



You see the kind of foolishness that happens when you think you don't sin?

Your great-grandmother was deceived. Then that were not born of God were not saved.

And I guarantee neither you, nor anyone else posting here would make it.

None of them referred to themselves as Christians but Peter and Paul.

One denied Jesus 3 times before men and called Jesus a liar
and the other murdered the disciples of Jesus and boasted
to be the chief of sinners.

Do you think that makes any difference to the living God
if you spell God...G-d or God?

If you are asking those questions you are not born of God.

Nonsense. What Jesus did is what saved us. What they did or did not do had no effect on their salvation just their ultimate fate after their death and rebirth as "born again" spirits.

Show me anywhere in that bible where Jesus
stated that He came to save sinners.

Go for it.

There is nothing you can do.

It is God that choses you.

How do you define sin?...

Go look it is not in the bible.

He did say that he was only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel...

But He did say I have come to call sinners to repentance.

Do you have a Bible verse for that?...

You better rethink your theology for it is wrong.

Perhaps yours is...

Nothing will excuse you for disobeying the commandments of Jesus Christ.

And what were those commandments?...
