I encounter people that believe they are sealed unto the day of redemption,cannot ever fall,but then they are living like the world,not trying to beat some sins,but enjoying them,but you cannot say anything for they will not heed anything you say,for the only thing they have on their mind is they cannot fall,but with their attitude how were they sealed if they never departed dfrom iniquity,from the time they had faith,and confessed Christ.
How do they explain that,and by the Spirit we can abstain from sin,because we do not want sin,and we could sin after conversion,but we have to give it up,and keep being led of the Spirit,but these people will not give up the sins,and live worldy,which their lifestyle testifies they are not led of the Spirit,and then they want to debate with people how they are right with God.
