Hi PJ
I can't go back and read everything.
I don't know what Grace said.
Are YOU saying that the Holy Spirit does NOT convict of sin?
One of the jobs of the Holy Spirit is to convict of sin.
Maybe I've misunderstood...

Prophets are sent to literally speak repent or face judgement.
No, the simple discussion is where are the verses that say God convicts of sin as part
of His ministry.
My point is Gods actual presence brings conviction on people.
Isaiah beheld God and the throne and immediately felt undone.
What impressed me about Jesus is His words convict. They set a standard which is very
different from our own. It convicts so much some find it impossible to read.
They then regard this conviction as something evil, condemnation.
For them the sermon on the mount becomes for legalists and Jews to be convicted of
sin and failure.
But the whole point is, the testimony of the conviction demonstrates how God convicts,
through His word. It is why the distorted theology is created which says the words are
not for believers or else conviction would not occur. It is for those under the law.
One member said they could not understand how one could rejoice at the sermon on the
mount.
So g7's challenge was find verses showing the Holy Spirit convicts of sin.
Now in this context I saw how absurd such a question was. If one has to ask the
question about verses they have missed meeting God.
Listen to Paul
If all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you.
1 Cor 14:24-25
Where God is there is conviction.
