Yes we can fall back into sin but we can be forgiven.===============================If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:8, 9 KJV)

Everyone sins everyday most of the time without even knowing. The difference is that we try to be good. No matter what sin is a part of life.
being saved does not exempt you from sin. True believers or born again people sin just like anybody else. It is believed that it helps you to not sin as much. That is why they pray frequently and scour thru the bible. For help along the path of life and for guidance in the actions they take. If you go with the believe that a saved person will be perfect you are setting yourself up for a huge melt down
always be in sin no matter how good you are. not one human being on Earth sinless.
Galatians 5:1 says Stand fast thyerefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage
1. The Galatians had accepted Christ, and with that acceptance, had come instantaneous and wonderul freedom. That means freedom to live a holy life, but were going back into Law, which was a giant step backwards. Even so far backwards, it would be difficult to properly explain this wide chasm. Romans 6:14 says For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the Law, but under Grace. Notice what he said: He did not say there would never be a single act of sin committed again by the Christian. when his faith is properly placed in the Cross, but rather that sin would not dominate us. How do I know if i an in Law or Grace? good question. The answer is actually simple. If you're walking in victory, you're walking in Grace i.e the cross. If you're failing that means your trying to keep the Law(Mosaic or religious) within the machinations of your own sinful flesh.Christ has kept the Law for us. We just continue to exibit faith in Christ faith in the cross and learn of Him(what He did on the Cross and the benefits there won).
We dont loose salvation if we sin. But we will still sin. We have a conscious & it will tell us to ask for forgiveness. The Holy Spirit will guide us & help us to have a desire to stop many of the things we used to do.
Oh, Yes!! You can sin as much and as long as you live and still be saved! All you need is to repent between your must crime and last breath and you are saved - according to Christianity!!
However, honest and civilized men do not believe in such fables. They hold that a certain belief is not a virtue to secure an acquittal in an eternal court -- if there be one. They believe that there's no sin or punishment or saving. But there is only consequences of our actions. Man will neither be damned for the sins of Adam, nor be saved for the virtues of Jesus. Man cannot have any propriety over man. Man will, if at all, only be saved through his deeds.
And, I still hold onto my point that " there's no sin or punishment or saving. But there is only consequences of our actions". If there is anything that can be termed as sin, that is the Christian idea of god.
Surah 5:72-73, 5:75 “They do blaspheme who say: “God is Christ the son of Mary. They do blaspheme who say: God is one of three in a trinity: for there is no God except one God Allah. If they do not desist from their word of blasphemy, verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them. Christ the son of Mary was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him."
But remember that the easy confidence you use to reject other man's god and belief as deceiving, are the same (if not better) for them to reject your god and religion too.
2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work,
Of course there are. Otherwise there would be no need to encourage people to walk worthy of their calling. The old nature and the new nature are at odds, and what is not amazing is that the old nature is strong, it's that the new nature gets stronger as you live in it.
Old Indian saying: there is a wolf and an eagle at war in every man's soul. Which one wins, is determined by which one you feed.
Just as we can willfully choose Christ, we can also willfully walk away from Him. God is a holy God and will not tolerate living in a sinful heart for long. It's not that He leaves us, it's that we have already left Him. Please understand: There is a difference between sinning and living in sin. Sinning is part of our human nature. We are "bent" towards sin. The Holy Spirit works in us and sanctifies us (makes us holy) but it is not by our doing or striving but by His grace. Living in sin is different. Living in sin is continued willfull disobedience.
Even though our spirits are holy, we still live in our flesh bodies which were born in sin. When we are born again, God killed us and recreated us holy and righteous. We are now rightstanding with the Father through Christ. But, our mind still has the sin nature. When our flesh dies, we will get an incorruptible body but until then, we have to study Gods word and catch our minds up with our spirit.
God said:
171. O people of the Scripture (Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth. The Messiah (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah and His Word, ("Be!" - and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit [1] created by Him; so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)!" Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allah is (the only) One Allah (God), glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.[2]
172. The Messiah will never be proud to reject to be a slave to All?h, nor the angels who are the near (to Allah). And whosoever rejects His worship and is proud, then He will gather them all together unto Himself.
173. So, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and did deeds of righteousness, He will give them their (due) rewards - and more out of His Bounty. But as for those who refused His worship and were proud, He will punish them with a painful torment. And they will not find for themselves besides Allah any protector or helper.
174. O mankind! Verily, there has come to you a convincing proof (Prophet Muhammad) from your Lord; and We sent down to you a manifest light (this Qur?an).
175. So, as for those who believed in Allah and held fast to Him, He will admit them to His Mercy and Grace (i.e. Paradise), and guide them to Himself by the Straight Path.
Keep your eyes on Christ at all times or you will fall just like Peter. No one is officially saved until they have exhaled their last breath.
Once a person is saved, is he always saved?
Jude 5, RS: “I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.”
------In this account God did not save the Israelites that did not continue to believe and worship him.
Matt. 24:13, RS: “He who endures to the end will be saved.”
------So a person’s final salvation is not determined at the moment that he begins to put faith in Jesus. It is one of endurance throughout life and every aspect of life.
<<<SEE PART 2 BELOW>>>
Phil. 2:12, RS: “As you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”
------This was addressed to “the saints,” or holy ones, at Philippi, as stated in Philippians 1:1. Paul urged them not to be overly confident but to realize that their final salvation was not yet assured.
Heb. 10:26, 27, RS: “If we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.”
------Thus the Bible does not go along with the idea that no matter what sins a person may commit after he is “saved” he will not lose his salvation. It encourages faithfulness. See also Hebrews 6:4-6, where it is shown that even a person anointed with holy spirit can lose his hope of salvation.
ZEPHANIAH 2:3 seek God, all YOU meek ones of the earth, who have practiced His own judicial decision. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably YOU may be concealed in the day of God’s anger.
------We are never guaranteed salvation. We must seek righteousness and live our life in the most righteous way in order to have the opportunity to attain salvation.
Everyone is a slave in the spiritual sense. We are either slaves to sin, which is our natural state, or we are slaves to Christ.
The apostle Paul, the author of Romans, goes on to say that he knows how difficult it can be to not live in sin because he struggled with that even after he became a follower of Christ. This is important for all Christians to know. While we're now set free from the penalty of sin, we still live in the presence of sin while we?re alive on this earth. And the only way we can be free from the power of sin is by the power of the Holy Spirit who is given to believers at the moment we come in faith to Christ (Ephesians 1:13-14), and this seals us in Christ as a pledge of our inheritance as God's child.http://www.gotquestions.org/slave-to-sin.html
First of all, congratulations on accepting Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior. Now in response to your question, yes and no. Satan will always tempt you, saved or not saved. The only place we can escape him is heaven. However, once you have been saved by God, you are going to heaven, but you must have your ABC's. A: Admit you are guilty. B: believe that Jesus Christ is your savior and Lord. C: Confese your sins. See ya in heaven:)
It seems hard to believe, but it is possible. Otherwise, the Apostle Paul would not have had to write this verse in Hebrews 6, (Living New Testament Version)"There is no use trying to bring you back to The Lord again if you have once understood the Good News and tasted for yourself the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, and know how good the Word of God is, and felt the mighty powers of the world to come,and then have turned against God. You cannot bring yourself to repent again if you have nailed the Son of God to the Cross again by rejecting Him, holding Him up to mocking and to public shame. When the farmer's land has had many showers upon it and good crops come up, that land has experienced God's blessings upon it. But if it keeps on having crops of thistles and thorns, the land is considered no good and is ready for condemnation and burning off. ". And for balance..verse 12 says," Then knowing what lies ahead for you, you won't become bored with being a Christian, nor become spiritually dull and indifferent, but you will be anxious to follow the example of those who receive all that God has promised them because of their strong faith and patience."
