Nothing is certain, in a moment of weakness, you *could* do something you may regret `till the end of your days, and maybe beyond... never think for one moment you are completly safe. Sin is always there... Calaethis, this is not how I believe it works. It is about the heart. Love, repentance, commitment and intent. If a person has become a Christian, then a last sin before they die, without a chance to 'say sorry' does not condem them to hell. Nor does it allow them a life of 'do as you please' because they know no matter what, they're going to heaven. If they believe this, they haven't truely repented. Repentance is a wholistic choice - you don't just repent for individual sins but for all your sins. Commitment to Christ is a lifetime commitment (yes some can and do reneg though). Those who have honestly repented through Jesus Christ, love God, and live their lives trying to follow the teachings of Christ and desiring forgiveness, will not IMO be punished for eternity for screwing it up sometimes. (or a lot)

er I think you misunderstood me... ah well never mind. I totally agree with you on what you just said. Im not a catholic... never that. not that I have anyhting agaisnt them.
