Because they now trust in Jesus Christ as the all sufficient means of their salvation. If someone claims to have repented, but they are still pushing works-salvation, then it’s obvious that they have not yet repented and do not believe the gospel.
Now here is the condemnation and judgementalism, along with unbelief.
If you think you are called to walk in the ways of Jesus, you are pushing works-salvation
therefore unsaved and evil, a hypocrite.
In the hierarchy of this belief, the impossible thing for God to do is make a believer pure and holy.
He can only cover them in Christs blood and redeem them by a new heavenly provided spirit.
The picture is sinner bound in sin.
Sinner bound in sin with new eternal spirit from God.
Saved new eternal spirit from God.
The trouble with this picture, the believer is never saved, they are destroyed, just
the new spirit is saved, but this came from God anyway, and is not actually part of
the believer. They con-themselves that their flesh is doomed, and their sin is locked
in with their flesh, but the new spirit is perfect and eternal, which they just need to
practice being. They believe this is now their true selves, except they will never experience
this because they will always be lost in sin until they die.
So the real person is never actually redeemed or cleansed or purified or made Holy.
It is why their whole world view is so split and schizophrenic. Paul walked in the Spirit
and found release and freedom, but this can never happen for these believers.
It is gnostic in a real sense, and powerless over the flesh. But then they do not believe
they need to be free from the passions of the flesh and evil, because it does not defile
their perfect spirit, only the evil flesh.
And in their mind, once they are given this new eternal spirit, that is it, they are sealed
eternally, into heaven, no matter what they do. So no matter what scripture says they
will reinterpret it to fit their model, and apply parts of the same sentence to their view.
As one member put it, when non-believers come along it is good to behave as if they have
changed, for the sake of the gospel, but otherwise it is meaningless. It is also why they
are impervious to clear scripture which teaches this view is non-existent.
Of course I could never be pure and blameless because I still have my body, so I must be
lying and evil and deceived, irrespective of what God calls me.
It is no surprise that the arguments go round in circles because the faith systems are totally
different, while the gnostics claim they have the same faith, we are just evil, which is ironic,
because they believe they are also evil, lol. They truly need Gods love and sight, or else they
will get the judgement for what they honestly admit they are, sinners caught in continual sin.
