I used to love Pastor John Piper, but does he believe in Lordship Salvation?

I almost answered wrong. Have to.. well WANT TO praise GOD for learning something every day. Or you forgot it and.. seems new again lol.
Seems John believes you can be fully assured you are saved. I agree. Not sure about this "kingdom Salvation". Personally? I could careless what some MAN believes about salvation. I don't point the lost or anyone to what some preacher says or believes. I show them what God said in His word. I really believe He is SO real that He found them and what HE starts He WILL finish. And John 3:16-17 Rom 10:9-10. Easy to believe.
I just now saw the "you do not know the definition of Lordship salvation, LOL". If you would have asked me 15min ago. No clue. Not hearing it much.. if ever. The red flag for me is the "LOL" and the laughing emoji. Were talking about salvation.. Christ and the sweet holy Spirit NEVER EVER make a laughing matter of it. Not making your case.
OSAS/lose your salvation. You know Jesus? AMEN! WERE FAMILY!

4But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Any philosophy of doctrine that suggest that you can commit fornication and still be saved is authored by the same demons that were teaching these lies in the churches of Asia. Jesus warned all churches of all times because he knew that this is the root of all false teaching we would contend with. Jesus is Lord of all or he is not Lord at all. Reject false teaching that suggests you may wallow in your sins of the flesh and still be saved.

For persons who struggle with sin, would you say they are unsaved?
Is there a thing such as little sin and big sin?
A Christian who gossips, are they saved? What about a greedy person or someone who is a shopaholic or someone who is lazy and refuses to work? Are those people saved?
Is there a limit to which you can sin and still be saved?
If so, are there certain types of sin that a Christian can commit, while if he does others we can safely assume they are not saved?
If so, what exactly are the sins that a Christian can commit and still be called a Christian vs the ones, he is definitely not allowed to commit and still maintain that he's a Christian?

No.
Their struggle with sin is a good sign.
It's the person who doesn't care about their sin, or who rationalizes their sin, and who gets angry and doesn't do anything about that when confronted about it, they are the ones who are showing themselves to not have a relationship with God through Christ.
Some are more serious than others.
I think there's a big difference between a person who lives as a crime boss, for example, and a person who lives in gossip. Which sins you shrink down into says a lot about a person, in my opinion. But, ultimately, all sin earns the wages of death.
It depends on whether or not these sins are being committed from unbelief and a rejection of Christ, or whether they are the sins of the struggling believer in Christ. Sin can only condemn the unbeliever. For the person who is purposely living in sin because they do not care about Christ and the forgiveness of sin, they are not saved.

OK so then, the only difference between a struggling believer and an unsaved is that one is in Christ, and one rejects God. Is that so?
Would you say there are two type of Christian? One who is living life just as he did before coming to Jesus, and one who is doing all he can to bear fruit whether successfully or unsuccessfully. And a third type, the one who has made some progress, but is not interested in trying to be as perfect/sinless as he can be.
Since we are saved by grace, would you say all three type of Christian mentioned above are saved?

Rom. 3:23-25 - Through Christ's death we are "Justified freely" (made right with God).
His death provides: "Redemption" (we are bought back to God), "Propitiation" (a settlement of our sin debt),
"Remission [forgiveness] of sins."
It's all by God's "Grace" not our works.
One Justification, a point in time, never to be lost, forsaken, forfeited, taken back or stolen.
