Doctrines Concerning

Sin

 

E. That the penalty of sin is death. When Adam and Eve sinned they immediately experienced spiritual death, and eventually physical death. The final result of sin is eternal death, separation from God in the Lake of fire for eternity.

Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

 

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

1Co 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

 

2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

 

Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Personal Opinion:

I wonder if Adam and Eve ever got back their salvation.

Somebody would have had to witness to them, explain God's plan of salvation for them and all their decedents.

The most likely candidate would be Enoch who walked with God.  I haven't done the math but assume they were alive at the same time.

As I recall, the theory is that the Old Testament Saints looked forward to the sacrifice of Messiah, we, the New Testament Saints, look back to that happening.

If Adam and Eve never did get saved, they would be the only two exceptions to the rule - "once saved, always saved".
