Yes, It does not say they stopped those sins, it says they were washed, Justified and sanctified.
Are you serious? Bro you stated you went to baptist church for years. Just cuz you take someone out the church doesnt mean the person aint indoctrinated. I know plenty of converted catholics who still have same catholic tendancies.
Romans 6:1 What shall we say then?
Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? (Does it say they stopped? Are you serious man?)
2
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
we also should walk in newness of life. (not in our same vomit but newness!)
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: (was his likeness any sin that you can fill in the blank here? NO!)
6 Knowing this, that
our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed,
that henceforth we should not serve sin. (Did they stop sinning? Whats this say? Clearly we are not to serve sin!)
7
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died,
he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Dead to sin. Sin no more. Walk like Christ.)
12
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14For sin shall not have dominion over you:
for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. (talking to all you posters who say all sins are fine now. We are under grace.)
16
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. (so you mean we must obey? Not just believe?OFCOURSE!)
18
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh:
for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. (Does that sound like continuing in your iniquity?)
20
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. (No only one sin is unforgiveable right? Unbelief?)
22
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. (but E.G. told me we start with everlasting life? Isnt that what being saved begins with? Everlasting life?)
23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
