Hello again Leslie,
Jesus said, "if you love me you will keep my commandments", and I believe this to be true but it is not keeping the commandments or the the confessing of the transgressions which imparts salvation, it is God's grace and faith in Jesus Christ. If we are followers of Jesus Christ our life styles will not be the same as those who reject Him, but Christians can also stumble, become deceived and act and react in a sinful manner. Your question was about adultry, what about if you lie in a stressful situation, fight with your neighbor, curse at a driver who cuts you off, look with lust at someone or goof off at work for 20 minutes while your being paid to work(stealing) and you die before you confess any of these things? What person can ever be sure they have confessed every sin they have ever committed? My belief is that Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners and His offer of eternal life had no hidden clauses or tricky fine print. To answer you question, if you are a Christian and you stumble wheather it is adultry or dishonoring your parents and die before confessing I believe you will still have eternal life because Jesus paid the debt for your sin. If you claim to be a Christian and your plan is to lead a sinful life because you believe you have a p*** to sin, then you are in trouble. God sees the heart, and knows who are His own. Is the criteria for eternal life that you must confess every sin before death?
