Of course....but saved to what exactly? Honour, dishonour? the glorious city, outer darkness? Pulpiteers never talk about how many church goers are going to be rejected even as they are saved from the lake of fire.
Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

Certainly not all the little imperfections for decades, but when you make the prayer of the publican praying in the temple that cried out to God of his weaknesses like I did after 30 years in church UNSAVED, He answered my prayer and He took away all desire to commit any of the major sins unto death (my trap was adultery). That is when He made me righteous. Not just imputed righteousness as a coverup of our present and future sins as I've heard on "To Every Man An Answer" on the radio. He literally took away the sin nature and created a whole new clean nature and then on top of that, filled it with the Spirit of Christ. I actually felt a dark heaviness lift up and out of me. What a strange sensation that was! I felt so light I looked at my feet to see if they were still on the floor.
Then after that moment came decades of Jesus maturing all the fruit of the Spirit. Read 2 Peter 1:2-11. You will learn two new things. First in verse 9 you will learn that Jesus takes away our OLD SINS. Meaning the sins unto death in our past. It does NOT add our present and future sins unto death as they are against God's commandments and are willful. 1 John 1:7 last sentence only refers to unintentional sins not unto death based on immature fruit of the Spirit that Jesus matures in a process correctly named "glorification," not "sanctification." Read 1 Cor. 6:11 and see we were sanctified when we were justified, and doesn't even make the list in Romans 8:30.
The second thing is that you have been matured in all the fruit of the Spirit you can identify in verses 5-7 you will come to a point in your life where you will "never stumble," verse 10. Then on top of being righteous, you will also be holy. That is perfect. It is not based on you, but Jesus. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith, not us. All that is required to grow in the Lord is abiding in Him. Read the Word. Pray. When you see something glorious, make it a habit to praise God. Like sunsets or flowers, or colorful birds, Whatever, let praise easily be on your lips. Also, don't put yourself in compromising situations. Stay away from temptation.
