Can someone please help me to understand this verse in relation to OSAS? 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
My question is then, if a person is these things (a thief, a drunk, a fornicator, etc) will they inherit the kingdom of God? Now I know the immediate excuse is that a true genuine believer wouldn't be such things, but instead of using circular reasoning consider for a moment if a Christian were practicing these things. No difference between their old self and the new in Christ, are they simply receiving their free ticket to Heaven and staying as they were? Or is this evidence of a false conversion (how convenient an excuse)?
The point being, is it possible for a Christian to be these things and what is the consequence? Simply a loss of rewards at the Bema seat? How shameful such an existence, you would agree? Nevertheless, are we so sure that there is no out once in? Cannot a man have his name written in the Book of Life and choose to erase it? Regardless of how terrible a decision that is? I can already see the response, mind you, God wouldn't elect a person to be in the Book of Life who would then choose to erase their name. Sigh... give me scripture, show me the truth.
PS: No offense intended here, I am asking for help in understanding.
