Condemned, Not Damned
Commentators are unanimous that “condemned” (or “damned” in the KJV) does not mean eternal damnation. Instead, it refers to being self-condemned, incurring guilt, or being blameworthy in one's own conscience for acting against what one believes is right. The issue is immediate guilt, not the loss of salvation.
