So do just and righteous christians go to hell when they sin?
If a person has a adicted problem with sex ,alcohol ,drug and are born again christian would they go to hell because they have not ended their addictions?
Do they be called not really born again when they fall 70 time 70 even in the same sins?
I think this is the answer you're looking for.The Westminster Confession of Faith of 1646,Chapter 11 Article 5
V. God doth continue to forgive the sins of those that are justified; and although they can never fall from the state of justification, yet they may by their sins fall under God's Fatherly displeasure, and not have the light of his countenance restored unto them, until they humble themselves, confess their sins, beg pardon, and renew their faith and repentance.
Election does not mean infallibility;as that would place us in the pantheon with God.Being judged by our actions would imply His favor to be contingent on the Father's observation of man's behavior..which would mean..God learned??!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/nono.gif" alt="" />
Keeping God's laws will not somehow bolster your standing in the Kingdom. Section 6 Chapter 7 of Calvin's Institutes reminds us that the Law was given to the Jews not as an end in itself.But to keep alive hope of salvation in Christ until His coming.
Se also Romans 3:20,28 Romans 4:5
