What about the sin of apostacy? Is someone who was raised Christian and lived it, then turns against Jesus and believes in Mohamed, or Hinduism still saved?
Well teh Bible has a perfect answer for that other than this man made lie that Jesus did not shed His blood for all your sins, and that God so loves you that He gave Jesus, so that if you trust in HIm you will be saved unless you sin freely once after He gave you that non-eternal eternal life!
Here is what the Bible says about folks like that:
1 John 2:19
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Matthew 13:24-30
King James Version
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew 7:21-23
King James Version
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
See people who don't make the cut were never saved to begin with!
Jesus went out and sends us out to gather the lost sheep. NOT to gather goats so he can turn them to sheep.
HJe calls us to gather the harvest of wheat and separate out the tares- Jesus doesn't turn tares into wheat!
Here is another passage:
1 Corinthians 3:11-15
King James Version
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Any deeds we do that don't pass muster will be burned, but we will be saved!
These and the dozens of verses on eternal security, the forgivenss of sins, and the proper exegesis of Heb 6 and 10 show that Jesus died for all sin not just your past sins prior to becoming a believer.
You can believe thatr if you wish, but that is bondage and lies you do not have to live under.
