Yet once again we have a huge argument in CC based on someone's interpretation of a word or verse, when will it eve stop?
in John 16, we are told when the HS comes he will convict (Greek expose, to bring to light,) the world (Kosmos system, ruled by Satan, something a child was f God no longer belongs to) of sin (singular, not plural) he is basically saying
1. The HS will expose to a non believer that they have sinned and fall short of Gods glory
2. He will expose the fact that Gods righteousness is the righteousness we must have (see christs example)
3. He will expose the fact the ruler of this world, their boss and leader, is judged, and the will be judged with him.
the reason he will do this is as a helper, to prepair them to hear the message of then gospel when the church goes into the world to spread it. (If I do not depart, the helper will not come)
how can we relate this to a believer, and say the HS convicts a believer of sin? In this context you can not, the believer is not of the world, the believers sin has already been exposed and they agree (repent) with it, and they are no longer judged.
The exposing of sin is to prepare them to hear the gospel, it is NOT exposing every sin issue or every sin (plural) but the fact they had sinned, and fall short of Gods righteousness, thus headed to judgement)
