1.     It is possible for brethren or Christians to err from the truth and become unconverted (James 5:19; note, Luke 22:32).

2.     An erring Christian can be converted again (James 5:19-20; note, Luke 22:32).

3.     An erring Christian becomes a sinner again, if he sins (James 5:20; Romans 6:14-23).

4.     An erring Christian incurs the death penalty again when he sins (James 5:20; Ezekiel 18:24; Romans 8:12-13; Galatians 5:19-21).

5.     If the erring Christian is saved from his error, his soul will be saved again from death (James 5:20; 1 John 1:9; 1 John 5:16; Rev. 2:5).

6.     If he repents and is saved again from death, his sins will be forgiven and hidden (James 5:20; 1 John 1:9; Rev. 2:5).
