This is a wrong understanding...this revelation is a cut to the HEART revelation sir...it is a drop on your knees understanding of the EXTENT of your sin and how, by THE CROSS, CHRIST did for us what we could not do for ourselves...
That sir, is THE TRUE CIRCUMCISION...not outwardly, but inwardly...upon THE HEART...where it belonged from the beginning.

This can be a very good thing. 
And I state this in the best possible way... some entanglements are simply draining.
I hope and pray that you put the Gospel all together soon.

I ask you to refrain from posting indifferent emojis and verbal comments that do nothing for the conversation between myself and another poster.
Thank you

Your osas says you can stop believing and you are still saved.
Lt. mailmandan's osas says believers can't stop believing.
I've shown where the Bible makes it impossible to believe either one of these.
I find your doctrine especially loathsome.
(Not you, your doctrine. So don't get offended.)
At least his defends the necessity to have to continue to believe to be saved when Jesus comes back, and the necessity to live in holiness.

I do not know where you come up with this stuff
But this is exactly why people are questioning you
people have shown you passage after passage after passage trying to explain this to you. For some reason you keep fighting it.
Gal 3 makes it clear what the law did, It was a schoolmaster to lead us to Christ.
It shows that the law brings a curse to everyone, because no one has fulfilled the law
it shows that Christ became a curse for us, so that all people, who have the faith of abraham can be offered the same salvation
what jesus did on the cross. and pay the penalty or take the curse, or redeem us from the penalty of sin.
When jesus said it is finished. the greek word is tetellisti, that is a juditial term, It literally means paid in full. When a person paid his debt, he received a certificate which had that same saying on it, so that anyone who questioned, could see his debt was "paid in full"

And so if I'm being desperately tempted to steal out of the cash register at work, or commit adultery with the new hot female clerk they just hired I should not resist and wait for the day I can obey God out of love and not just obligation?
Serious question.
Don't blow it off.
I want to know how I'm supposed to respond according to your doctrine.
The rest from sin comes before assurance because assurance of salvation comes from your behavior.
Note, don't confuse 'security' of salvation with 'assurance' of salvation in what I just wrote.
Assurance of salvation comes from what you do and how you're changed/ changing.
That's why people start threads wondering if King Solomon was really saved or not.
We wonder because of how he lived his life at the end.
Obedience is ALWAYS equated with salvation.
The person who is still a baby in regard to obedience is the one struggles with assurance of salvation.
