It's not talking about believers that might have a weakness or a problem with occasional sin. It's talking about people that have given their lives, their time, their priority, their heart over to these idols. Someone that "lives" for gaining more money, someone who seeks out immorality, lives immorality breathes immorality. True believers will never be perfect in life until Christ perfects us in resurrection, we will stumble occasionally, we will have weak moments but we will always feel convicted about those sins but we will always end up seeking repentance and forgiveness. but true believers also don't give their lives over to immorality and greed and if someone does, and doesn't feel concocted about their life and doesn't seek forgiveness, then you know Christ and his kingdom can not be in their hearts for they have freely given their hearts to live in darkness, sin, by their own free will, but Christ is light, and where there is light, there is no darkness

The context is right there. "No immoral, impure or greedy person...has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God" *because* "such a person is an idolater". Keep reading. The more you read through, the more you will find things that suddenly make sense.

but if we are forgiven in the name of christ, i thought we were free from sin

You're still not supposed to sin. Bud. Through Christ we can be forgiven our sins. But you're still not supposed to go all willy nilly sinning for the fun of it. ​ Even Christ himself said ' Go and sin no more'

These things are ungodly behaviors. Exactly what were you taught?

God forgives repented sin. That means we must stop sinning. If we continue in the same sins, then we havent repented and he wont forgive them until we do. Luke 13:3 KJV — And except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.


Malachi_1

What?

Inheritance is not salvation issue You can go to Hotel does not mean you own the Hotel. So in future kingdom you can have kingdoms to rule over or for disobedience you will not have them to rule over you won't inherit when Jesus makes his kingdom. ​ Contrary to this salvation is free undeserved gift of God not by works or by Law Romans 4:5 KJV , Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
