If a
person learned about Jesus but turned his back on Him, ceased his faith, even though he is new to the world, (not
incarnated) and he dies without repentance, his chastisement is far more violent and
he will be lost forever. (The soul suffers forever.)
The
key to salvation is daily repentance and
following the will of the Father. Worship God in Spirit, for He is a spirit.

Mary continued again and said: "My Lord, but if on the other hand they who have received the mysteries of the First Mystery, turn and transgress, and if they come out of the body before they have repented, will they inherit the kingdom or not, because indeed they have received the gift of the First Mystery?"
Of such initiated who sin and die without
repentance.
The Saviour answered and said unto Mary: "Amēn,
amēn, I say unto you: Every man who hath received
mysteries in the First Mystery, having
transgressed for the first and the second and the third time, and if he cometh
out of the body before he hath repented, his judgment is far sorer than all the
judgments; for his dwelling is in the midst of the jaws of the dragon of the
outer darkness, and at the end of all this he will be frozen up [?] in the
chastisements and perish for ever, because he hath received the gift of the
First Mystery and hath not abided in it [sc. the gift].
Of the unending forgiveness of those who
have received the mystery of the Ineffable.
Mary answered and said: "My Lord, all men who
shall receive the mysteries of the mystery of the Ineffable, and have turned
again, have transgressed and have ceased in their faith, and again thereafter,
when they are still in life, have turned and have repented, how many times will
it be forgiven them?"
The Saviour answered and said unto Mary: "Amēn,
amēn, I say unto you: To every man who shall receive the mysteries of the
Ineffable, not only if he transgresseth once, turneth again and repenteth, will
it be forgiven, but if at any time he transgresseth, and if, when still in
life, he turneth again and repenteth, without play- acting, and again if he
turneth and repenteth and prayeth in any of his mysteries, then will it be
forgiven him, because he hath received of the gift of the mysteries of the Ineffable, and moreover because those
mysteries are compassionate and forgive at every time."
And Mary answered again and said unto
Jesus: "My Lord, those who shall receive the mysteries of the Ineffable,
and have again turned, have transgressed and have ceased in their faith and are
moreover come out of the body before they have repented, what will befall
such?"
Of such initiated who sin and die without
repentance.
And the Saviour answered and said unto
Mary: "Amēn, amēn, I say unto you: All men who shall receive the mysteries
of the Ineffable, blessed indeed are the souls which shall receive of those
mysteries; but if they turn and transgress and come out of the body before they
have repented, the judgment of those men is sorer than all the judgments, and
it is exceedingly violent, even if those souls are new and it is their first
time for coming into the world. They will not return to the changes of the
bodies from that hour onwards and will not be able to do anything, but they
will be cast out into the outer darkness and perish and be non-existent for
ever."
