If you are truly saved, then you will follow the Lord.
Being saved is a life changing experience, not a nod of agreement

One is taken one is left, It was two but now is one. The father and the son are two but one. All is made new now it is two . I will not always be with you but the father is always with you. Now we are joined as one again in the new with the father for God is in all and all are in God. Nothing can exist without God not even death, The father is the word and the son is the body of that word.

ANYONE SAYS THEY ARE POSITIVE THEY ARE GOING TO HEAVEN ARE SAYING THEY DON'T NEED JESUS TO JUDGE THEM, BAD THINKING SEE HERE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT BEING SAVED>>>>
EVERYONE IS REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS, BUT WE ARE NOT SAVED UNTIL JESUS SAYS SO ON JUDGEMENT DAY. LIFE IS A STRUGGLE WITH SINS, THE MORE YOU ARE WITH JESUS THE LESS YOU SIN.
Note that Paul includes an important condition: "provided you remain in his kindness." He is saying that Christians can lose their salvation by throwing it away. He warns, "Whoever thinks he is standing secure should take care not to fall" (1 Cor. 10:11-12).
If anyone asks you if you have been "saved," you should say, "I am redeemed by the blood of Christ, I trust in him alone for my salvation, and, as the Bible teaches, I am `working out my salvation in fear and trembling' (Phil. 2:12), knowing that it is God's gift of grace that is working in me."
SEE HERE IN THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL WHERE JESUS TELLS EVEN TRUE CHRISTIANS NOT TO ASSUME YOU ARE SAVED, NOTICE PARAGRAPH #24 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
TRUE CHRISTIANS DO NOT SAY, THEY ARE SAVED.
THERE ARE A FEW RELIGIONS THAT STATE THEY ARE
SAVED JUST BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN JESUS AS THEIR
SAVIOR, BUT TO BE SAVED TAKES A LIFETIME OF DEVOTION
TO THE LORD, YOU CAN ALWAYS SIN AND FALL IN WHICH CASE
YOU HAVE TO GET RIGHT BACK UP AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS
ANYTIME WE SLIP(IF WE DO). THE GRACE OF JESUS IS STRONGER THAN ANY SINS. BUT JESUS WARNS EVEN TRUE CHRISTIANS ABOUT ASSUMING YOU ARE SAVED. WE CANNOT TAKE THE JUDGMENT OUT OF THE HANDS OF THE LORD, IT IS HIS AND HIS ALONE NOT OURS. SEE WHAT JESUS SAYS HERE
IN THE BOOK OF EZECHIEL, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO PARAGRAPH #24>>>>SEE HERE FROM Ezechiel (Ezeckiel)18:21-28 WHY,JUST BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY SAVED.
21] But if the wicked do penance for all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my commandments, and do judgment, and justice, living he shall live, and shall not die. [22] I will not remember all his iniquities that he hath done: in his justice which he hath wrought, he shall live. [23] Is it my will that a sinner should die, saith the Lord God, and not that he should be converted from his ways, and live? [24] But if the just man turn himself away from his justice, and do iniquity according to all the abominations which the wicked man useth to work, shall he live? all his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: in the prevarication, by which he hath prevaricated, and in his sin, which he hath committed, in them he shall die. [25] And you have said: The way of the Lord is not right. Hear ye, therefore, O house of Israel: Is it my way that is not right, and are not rather your ways perverse?
[26] For when the just turneth himself away from his justice, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therein: in the injustice that he hath wrought he shall die. [27] And when the wicked turneth himself away from his wickedness, which he hath wrought, and doeth judgment, and justice: he shall save his soul alive. [28] Because he considereth and turneth away himself from all his iniquities which he hath wrought, he shall surely live, and not die

Are You Guaranteed Heaven?
Some people promote an especially attractive idea: All true Christians, regardless of how they live, have an absolute assurance of salvation, once they accept Jesus into their hearts as "their personal Lord and Savior." The problem is that this belief is contrary to the Bible and contrary to Christian teaching.
Keep in mind what Paul told the Christians of his day: "If we have died with him [in baptism; see Rom. 6:3-4] we shall also live with him; if we persevere we shall also reign with him" (2 Tim. 2:11-12). If we do not persevere, we shall not reign with him. In other words, Christians can forfeit heaven.
The Bible makes it clear that Christians have a moral assurance of salvation (God will be true to his word and will grant salvation to those who have faith in Christ and are obedient to him [1 John 4:19-24]), but the Bible does not teach that Christians have a guarantee of heaven. There can be no absolute assurance of salvation.
Writing to Christians, Paul said, "See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but God's kindness to you, provided you remain in his kindness, otherwise you too will be cut off" (Rom. 11:22-23; see also 1 Cor. 15:1-2, Heb. 10:26-29, 2 Pet. 2:20-21).
Note that Paul includes an important condition: "provided you remain in his kindness." He is saying that Christians can lose their salvation by throwing it away. He warns, "Whoever thinks he is standing secure should take care not to fall" (1 Cor. 10:11-12).

No, the Bible does not teach "once saved always saved". What it teaches is that once you are saved you need to repent of your sins and follow the teachings in the Bible or else you will be held accountable for those sins.
Hebrews 10:26 “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,”

Once saved, always saved is true, however no-one is saved until they enter Heaven. Until then, we have the ability to reject God and salvation, right up to the moment of our death. No Christian on Earth ever heard of the idea of being "already saved" while alive on Earth, until it was invented a few hundred years ago by Protestants.

Saved from what? The fictional torture that a fictional character gave fictional warnings about? Saved from an eternal punishment that supposed god/Jesus character automatically condemned you to from the time you were born, for things that other people supposedly did thousands of years ago? Things which that god/Jesus character could simply decide to forgive or, better yet, not attach to people who had nothing to do with it? And why would you need to be saved when you were supposedly saved due to that supposed Jesus character was supposedly tortured and sacrificed himself, to himself, to fulfill rules and requirements he put in place himself?
How do you not realize that your religion is just a steaming load of horseshit, both duping you into believing you have a disease and offering you the cure at the same time? Take a step back and really think about how ridiculous this nonsense is.

Paul urges, So run that you may obtain it. Then, using himself as an example to make the point of his illustration, he continues: I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
Evidently the apostle, who surely was a saved Christian, believed that even he could be disqualified from the race.
Yet as long as he continued to run that he might obtain’ the prize, thus remaining in the race, salvation was assured.
But if they should ever quit the race, they are disqualified, losing their hold on everlasting life.

Once saved, always saved is a Protestant concept that never existed, for the first 1500 years of the Church. Protestants are known for subtracting from, rather than adding to authentic Church doctrine.

Nah if you have money people can find out and sue you . And they're always Christians even though 1Corinthians 6 commands don't sue
They won't sue if you have no money .
It's like love . People who love you want to kill you and married people who love each other do that . If someone likes only they will never kill you .
