Ck out my example: I will try to give you an example: If I was cheating on my husband every once in a while, and I ask for forgiveness each time. I can keep from doing that. That is intentional sin. But if I was at a store and I glanced over at a man and thought to myself wow he is gorgeous, but kept on walking. That one was in my mind. Still not good, but this one will not send me to hell if I died today. But the other one would because it's something that I choose to do, and know very well that it is wrong.

Grace is what helps us
2 Corinthians 12: 19 says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness”
Titus 2:11-12 says,
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men.
It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,

Once we KNOW what is wrong via Gods standards..yes..were are held ACCOUNTABLE for our sins but if we are truly saved..our salvation is intact ...example..im very proud..pride is a sin..something i always have to be aware of..but if i acted in a prideful wat and died..i wouldnt go to hell...because my salvation amd eternity is NOT BASED ON WORKS..like i have to WORK not to be prideful or WORK not to lust after a man etc..its not RIGHT but God knows we all have a sinful nature and "expects" that from us and that every little sin wont be asked for forgiveness etc..

It CAN be..or...
"And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life and this life is in his Son. He that hath [belief in] the Son hath life; and he that hath not [belief in] the Son of God hath not life." (1 John 5:11,12) By God's grace, salvation life is free as a gift through faith."
So grace is favor, "unmerited favor." Grace is, therefore, God's unmerited favor - His goodness toward those who have no claim on, nor reason to expect, divine favor. The principal manifestation of God's grace has heen in the form of a gift. ... Salvation is not our achievement, but it is a gift from God.
Romans 3:20-24
20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. 21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."

Now saint this is where I lose you. No one has to die in there sin in fact that's not how the story ends. It is the rejection of God's gift Jesus that send those to outer darkness.
Jesus has defeated sin the Vail is torn. Last but not least he shall defeat death. The ransom has been ment and paid in full.

He still had sin on his record that he had to get .......rid of thru repentance.
The point is...regardless if it is unintentional or unintentional...we must repent to clean our soul.
Now...about..intentional....some scripture strongly suggest one may have to pay a penalty for some offences. But, they will be forgiven. It would appear /suggested...depending on what they were. I think against another person may be the determining factor, that I am still studying.

If someone who says they are saved but is committing adultery, every weekend. Goes home and pray for forgiveness, but goes and does it the next weekend. Do you think that they are serious about their salvation. When they get serious the sin must stop. Other wise everybody will be saved. The drunk on the corner is saved. So I guess he is also under grace. God forbid. The intentional sinning has to stop, they know it's wrong, but say I'm under grace God know we do this, he will forgive us. You may as well be crucifying Jesus all over again.
