1. Future sins are forgiven by the cross....in that the cross is in the past and anything we do now is in the future but still the cross is strong enough to forgive our "future" sins.
The doctrine of future sins forgiven, is the concept between now and eternity all the
sinful acts you will perform are forgiven now in the present, at the point of coming to
faith in Christ. The dependency on forgiveness in present time is faith and repentance.
So yes the cross forgives all sin repentented of in the present tense so is future sin forgiven
from when the act of sacrifice in time was made. But this is not our future sin forgiven as
until it is done it does not exist, so cannot be forgiven, and in faith will never happen.
But out of these future sin forgiven concept comes a lot of heresy and evil.
2. Everyone I have spoken to in this thread believe repentance and confession is needed. G777 spills about "change of mind" but eventually you get him to say the same message even if he uses funky words to do it.
Repentance and confession of sin is the common experience of most, which is interesting
compare to often the declarations about changing ones mind. Those who talked most
strongly about no need for specific repentance of specific sins seems to a left or gone
silent. A lot did express repentance of sin was a one off event at conversion and not specific,
but how truthful that is you are casting doubt on. I would hope people now accept biblical
repentance, but I have previously found to my shock a lot did not.
Maybe the argument is being won, the Holy Spirit is convicting people in regard to the truth.
3. Your sermon on the mount thread? Haven't read it in a while. Folks will reject that it's needed for salvation, but you will find that most aren't "lawless" as you accuse them of being. They believe in the law written upon the heart.
All I can say is what people have expressed in the past.
To me if everyone accepts the sermon on the mount as Christs eternal words, amen.
What I do know is when you put these points up to vote the vote got split 50/50.
So I do have little confidence in you proclamations. I do wonder why you make them, as
you are not the final authority or judge of what can and cannot be expressed lol.
And as far as identifying groups, that is irrelevant, because they exist, how people feel
wedded to them is a different question. But you regard raising these points as lying.
I call that delusion, and denying what people have openly expressed in the past.
You want so badly that people conform to your views, you project them everywhere, even
when clearly they are just trying to keep you happy, lol.
