If you or I expect to stay saved I won't go on practicing sin. Those who say you can stay saved and continue practicing and condoning sin as a way of life are ignoring much of the scriptures.
Remember, satan said "surely you won't die" (Gen 3:4)...they died, and false prophets said "Peace, peace,’ But there is no peace." (Jer 6:14).
Sure it sounds good to think we can be saved without doing anything, "just believe"...and many have accumulated teachers in accurdance with their own desires, turning their ears away from the truth (2 Timothy 4:3-4)....but Jesus says "the one who endures to the end, he will be saved," (Mt 24:13) "Be Faithful unto death" (Rev 2:10), "persevere...hold fast" (Rev 3:10-11).
If we want to be saved and stay saved, we have to have active, OBEDIENT, faith, ... if we want to continue in sin and justify sin we are children of the devil with no real hope.
