    Yes and no. While the rules are all made up, and different people can just make up more rules, the standard rules say that any deal with the devil, even this bet, is a sin, an unforgivable sin. Adding in the sin of pride, which means Johnny is unlikely to ever repent, and the devil got a soul.

    Also, there’s a sequel song with a bunch of big names on the project, Johnny went down due to the sin of pride.

        Again, the rules are made up, but there are a dozen listed sins that are unforgivable. You just have to look for them.

        However, a deal with the devil is automatically considered blasphemy against God, and thus an unforgivable sin. Add in the sin of Pride, and Johnny is damned.

        • there are a dozen listed sins that are unforgivable. You just have to look for them.

          Both Matthew 12:30-32 and Mark 3:20-29 clearly state otherwise. Idk what Bible you’re reading.

          a deal with the devil is automatically considered blasphemy against God, and thus an unforgivable sin.

          While making a deal with the devil is often viewed as a form of blasphemy, the unforgivable sin- blasphemy against the Holy Spirit- involves an ultimate rejection of God’s truth and grace, which isn’t necessarily inherent to making a deal with the devil.

          Add in the sin of Pride, and Johnny is damned.

          Pride is a forgivable sin
