But that 'fessin' up doesn't mean you can just go right on doing what you were doing, although the biggest con artist I've ever encountered swore that it did, as in, "Once saved, always saved," and he could steal an old lady blind today, "confess" to God tonight, and steal someone else blind tomorrow. I'm a PPK with Baptist grandparents and a good bit of exposure to any number of denominations and non-denominational churches, and that's never been how it worked in any of them. Confession has to go along with an attempt to do better, to, "Go and sin no more."
These folks, RH and LH, IMO, are the very type of people who give true Christians a bad name. They use church and "religion" for their own purposes (friends, business contacts, keep parents happy, etc.), all the while doing what they want to do and hiding behind twisted scripture to "prove" themselves "in good with God." The closest these two are going to get to the Pearly Gates, IMO, is the doorbell.
