god is very patient with sinners, but it's so they can come to the truth. (1 timothy 2:4). although a repentant christian can find salvation even in a constant struggle there are behaviors that indicate a person is not an heir to the kingdom (ephesians 3:6). these verses are spread out in the epistles and stand as directives that make it clear that christian practice isn't simply being nice and uplifting to people around you. there are things that a christian must not do, (1 corinthians 6:9-10, galatians 5:19-21) and if he has been doing them, he should fervently repent. it's obvious that in doing these things he has little regard for the sacrifice that christ calls every saved man to take (john 5:14). in fact we're warned that it is worse for the unrepentant (2 peter 2:20). but, we're also warned about this very thing.(2 peter 2:1-2, 1 john 4:1)
