If a person is born again and genuinely saved, they would have the holy spirit in them and a conscience that would lead them to repentance whenever they fall and then ask for forgiveness. If on the other hand, sin no longer means anything or they have a seared conscience, you would begin to question their salvation. It is possible for someone to be saved and lose that salvation and regarded as a backslider. From what you’ve asked, it appears both of you are saying the same thing.

He believes according to how he was raised, which is that when an individual asks Jesus to become his/her saviour for the first time and gives his/her life over to Him, all of their sins are forgiven, past, present, and future. He believes that salvation cannot be lost or given up, and if someone ends up in perpetual sin, that they were never genuinely saved in the first place. I, on the other hand, have been raised in the belief that any time an individual sins, they must ask forgiveness for that sin and are separated from God until they ask forgiveness for that sin. If the trumpet sounds and there is sin in one's life that they have not asked forgiveness for, then they will spend an eternity in the lake of fire. Do you have any input or insight that you would share? We are attempting to glean as much input as possible from lots of sources, and any thoughts are welcome and appreciated. Thanks! Hello :)
