You cannot become a Christian and then a year later start following Satan. The guy in 1 Cor. 5 was sleeping with his step mother. Paul told the Corinthians to turn him over to Satan, but he is still saved.

For some reason you believe that a person cannot throw the free gift in the bin? Can you give me one example of this actually occurring?

It's also important to encourage all people who claim to belong to God to see if they really are in Christ. 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? to see if...
