I sinned willingly after saved and I heard a message about the false grace movement. Am I really saved?
 
We are saved by grace through faith.

We are not completely perfect yet. You may have probably noticed.

Do you have faith in your conversion by Christ? Study and pray and find out. Only you can answer this question. Or have this question answered by Christ.
 
Your lost. Once saved you must remain perfect:rolleyes:

Actually...

Romans 5:10 (KJV) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
 
2 Timothy 1:7-10
[SUP]7 [/SUP]For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
[SUP]10 [/SUP]But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

1 John 1:9-10 (KJV)
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Our walk is by faith, in the spirit.

There is no one who walks perfectly.

If you are questioning whether you are a Christian or not pick up a bible and start reading, studying whether you are a Christian or not and ask, pray to God.
 
I believe definitely yes. All I have to do is look at the many, biblical characters to know that God saves sinners, and only allows us into His family because of Jesus. We are still sinners of ourselves. Just like we cannot, not sin, even if we think a sinful thought. This is why we need Christ. If we could "not" sin, why would we need Him. This is just my take, as well as my belief.
 
If there's a sin that is bothering your conscience you need to go to Him, spill the beans, and He will forgive you. He expects us to forgive each other when we offend, how much more He forgives us. The problem comes when we hide our sin like David or Adam and Eve.

James 1:21-22 (ESV) 21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Does this not imply that I am not saved?

Right, but that doesn't stop God from forgiving us when we confess our sin to Him.
 
Anyone who has told you that they have been saved, And not willingly sinned, is a liar.

No, James spoke to people were were just hearers, and not doers.. They continued in a life of sin..

Is this you? Have you not changed even on thing in your life. but always looking to erve yourself in all areas?

 
Hebrews 5:9 (ESV) 9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him…
Also this one
Matthew 7:21-23 (ESV) 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
And this one make me question

Are you asking for help or trying to make a case for christian perfectionism?

Speaking of false prophets who were never born again not Christians who He knew.
