Some more questions about his new saved life. Assume he was to backslide and go back to killing people. Let's say he kills "only" 10 people this time. He had already has killed (indirectly) hundreds, but those deaths were wiped off his record when he got saved. Does his record now say just 10 murders, or do the other hundreds of murders come back to his record. In other words, if you're forgiven of all your sins through getting saved, do those old sins come back to your record if you backslide? Or are they erased forever?

No wonder the Christian version of salvation is so popular. If I knew that all I had to do was to confess and get saved, and I'd be forgiven of any sins no matter how vile (apart from blasphemy of the Holy Spirit), then what would stop me from always sinning an dgetting saved?
