Question
I have Accepted Jesus as my lord and personal savior. Im just wondering can I lose my salvation
Jonathan-
Depends on the denomination you're in and your individual beliefs. Some say yes, others say no.
I personally believe that once you've accepted Jesus, that's all you need. You're still a sinner, but you're trying not to sin, right? For when you ask Jesus into your heart, you're somehow changed so that you really don't want to sin.
Will you continue to sin? Yup, you're human. But as you continue to sin, God will continue to forgive for he knows what's in your heart.
This is actually a very adult question and has been a debate since Jesus was taken down from the cross. I suggest you ask your pastor the question to see what he has to see.
hope this helps.
