But that is why Paul wrote his letter to them!
Read all the other epistles. They were not written to the unbelievers in the world, but to the church. Haven't you heard of some nasty stories from LSM and the LC's? These same stories exist in many churches out there. Look at the recent news about the President of Liberty Univ. He was surely saved at some point.
So we must conclude that either Christians are capable of nasty sins, or that those who commit nasty sins have lost their salvation.
