The Pentecostals say that whoever sins has lost the salvation
question:
If the Pentecostals say, that he who sins lost the salvation, then I can finish studying and reading the Bible because I have salvation because I lost it. My question is this, I remember that in 1998, always interested in reform, I bought a book called Martin Luther, and I was impressed by a phrase that said so: Sin as much as you want and pray as much as you can. What did he mean by this sentence?
It is Luther's exaggeration that has had the opposite effect. But that didn't mean that. He just wanted to completely oppose the works of the Catholic Church but sometimes found these unhappy expressions that were not understood. We have absolutely no license to sin even if we have the certainty of salvation. If we continue to sin then and to live in debauchery, it means that we have no real faith in how much we make God angry, and we should ask ourselves if we are really saved! Salvation is by faith, if we have sincere faith we are saved, even if we fail to be perfect, we are sinners, some sin can escape (who has never made an impure thought even if converted and baptized? who has never sinned in the heart? who has never committed a sin of envy or other? Who has never been angry or has never been arrogant?) If we say we have not done so we are in error and Jesus calls us "hypocrites"), God knows how small we are and does not expect perfection from us, that we will never have as born in sin. If he had thought that we could have saved ourselves by our own strength, he would not have sent Jesus to die for us. Yet he sent him "so that whoever believes in him will be saved and will not go through judgment". This the Bible says, does not speak of sins and if we continue to sin. On the law of sin and continuing to sin even after conversion, read what the apostle Paul says in ROMANS 7:14-25.
