THE SALVATION OF SOULS IV I Peter 1:9. In this message we explore the greatly misunderstood subject of “confessing our sin”. We are not saved by confessing our sin, but we cannot be saved without it. This is not doubletalk, but something that sets forth a crucial difference and understanding of the issue. At the end of the message, Marv answers a question about one who continuously commits the same sin. Marv also answers the question of whether we can lose our salvation.
