Now many of my friends and I have had this argument, I know what I personally believe on the issue but I'd like to hear what everyone believes on the issue.
And like I've been taught by this argument, I would like everyone to back up their opinion with a passage from the Bible.
If a Christian sins do they lose their salvation and if they do are they allowed to get it back?

If a Christian sins do they lose their salvation? Of course not- that's the whole principle of Christianity. We're imperfect and we mess up, but God loves us anyway. His love in unbounding and unconditional. His grace and our salvation is a gift from him and he would never take that away from us, no matter how undeserving we believe ourselves to be.

Sin = bad.
Jesus Christ = Sin gone.
Christian = Jesus Christ = Sin gone.

Well, sorta. We still sin, it's just that we're no longer held accountable for slipping up (sinning on purpose and abusing Christ's forgiveness and mercy is another matter).

If we accept Jesus as our personal Savior asking for forgiveness of our sins, then we are saved. It has no strings attached. Our past, present and future sins are forgiven. If this was not so, then Jesus died and rose for nothing. But it is true and once saved, for eternity saved. Thank God!
