Amongst DG, GoaD and Romans; it's really difficult to determine who is the most illogical.

Seems you've asked a question Jesus was asked when He was preaching His gospel:
Luke 13
23And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 24“Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25“Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, a ...[text shortened]... and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out.
Three people out of 100 could be considered few, while 97 out of 100 could be considered many.
Multiply the three by how many hundreds of people have lived on the earth since Christ’s Resurrection and what viewed in isolation appears to be many becomes few in comparison.

Yeah, yet another passage wherein Jesus marks the dividing line for "living in the kingdom" / having "eternal life" as those who no longer commit sin.
An evildoer is someone who commits a single sin?
Isn’t that your standard? That anyone who commits a single sin after accepting Christ is doomed?

Can a knowledgeable Christian provide some pointers concerning this ?
If one confesses with the mouth and believes in ones heart,
what does this [b] belief in ones heart all about?
What is the Christian supposed to do, think, act ... anything?
Brief details with some Bible references would be ideal.

Really?

How does this logically follow from what I wrote?
BTW in case you missed it, I responded to your previous post to me on page 8.

I asked you if someone, after accepting Christ, could commit a single sin and maintain his or her salvation. Rather than simply say, “Yes” or “No,” you decided to fudge your answer by changing the standard in my question to “continues to commit sin.”
If your honest answer to my question is “No,” then it’s apparent no one can be saved because Christ included being angry with someone as a sin and looking on a woman with lust in your heart as a sin, not to mention the Old Testament sins of coveting and bearing false witness (lying.)
If your answer is instead “Yes,” then you’ve got to explain how many sins are too many and also explain how those sins are forgiven since you apparently do not believe in the New Covenant spoken of by Jesus (or if you do believe it, you must think it only applies to sins one commits prior to accepting Christ.)
