We will know by your fruits...

If his grace is sufficient for you, you'll be living your life according to the will of God and you'll be overcoming the flesh as the spirit guides you and gives you strength. As clefty said, Gods true people will be known by their fruits. If you're born of God, then you'll have the fruits of the spirit.

There is no particular sin that precludes one from being in the church. But being in the church should direct one away from sin.
Any sin whatsoever causes a person to be estranged from Christ and our Father.
Paul explained that Christ's job is to present the church to Himself as a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
Sin is a blemish and is not acceptable.
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." (Romans 12:1)
Sin is not acceptable.

Again, sin does not cause us to lose our salvation. Yes, we need to confess and ask forgiveness, but this is not the basis of our salvation. If sin caused us to lose our salvation, then it would ultimately require Christ to be crucified again, so that we might return (c.f. Hebrews 6), and no such return would be possible.
The only condition of salvation in Scripture is faith (See Col 1:23, John 6:40, etc.) Again, scripture never declares that sin causes a loss of salvation.
That's true, it simply defers a person's salvation to the second resurrection.
Only those who are blessed and holy are in the first resurrection.

And we are blessed and holy because of Christ's work, not because of our own works (Again, see Col 1:23)
Exactly, and to stay free of sin we must not sin.

Does that say "stay free of sin", or does that say, "continue in your faith, established and firm"?

So they are conflicting then?
To continue in faith requires being faithful in what a person says and does.
How so?

Leviticus 20:10 - Requires only that you commit the act.
Deuteronomy 19:15 - Requires you must be caught by several.
Scriptures on this, which sin will lose a persons a salvation, after they have been saved? The first, 10th, 20th, etc..
?
Romans 7:16 And if I do what I do not desire, I admit that the Law is good. 17 In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 18 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.…
19 For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do. 20 And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.21 So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s Law. 23 But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin 25 Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
Romans 8:1 1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
See the verse you quoted yourself, as you believe that Christ broke the law for not stoning her and show me where in the passage it shows where the man was brought before Him as well to be stoned along with the woman, thanks.
This is how they tried to "trap" Christ here, by not following the entire law, and asking Him to break the law, when the law required the man to be stoned also and he was not brought, even though "she was caught in the very act" as in the man would have been there too when being caught, no? Yet he was not charged or brought to be judged by Christ.
If you were aware, then you need to also be aware that He followed the law completely even where the adulterous woman was concerned, failing in no point.
John 5:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
Romans 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Why do you not believe these?
Then you commit no sin ever?
1 John 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
Is this verse a lie?
