The bible says you have to produce works/fruit worthy of repentance to show a true repentance.
You can not have a person sanctified and saved immediately before they do that, because that would mean they can live however they want then which is not biblical.
Matthew 3:8
Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
Luke 3:8
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Acts 26:20
But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
A believer can not continue in not repented, not confessed sins, and their actions have to show that they were sincere in their repentance. If you do not let the Holy Spirit help you, and do not make the effort to turn away from those sins then the bible says your repentance was not a true repentance.

Maybe if it is said in big bold letters;
Repentance is not a dead self righteous work of the law !!!
Baptism is not a dead self righteous work of the law !!!
Confession is not a dead self righteous work of the law !!!
Forgiveness is not a dead self righteous work of the law !!!
They are all spiritual works that were commanded by the Lord.
They are not part of the mosaic laws that have been blotted out, canceled, or done away with.
Repentance is not something done lightly as if your actions do not follow, then it was not a true repentance. You have to turn from your sins and not commit them, letting the Holy Spirit help you to strengthen you in areas you are weak. If you do not turn from your sins, it was not a true repentance.
Baptism in Him by being immersed in water into is death and being raised into a new life is a symbol of a clear conscious and obedience to Him by being born again.
Confession is made onto Him as a form of showing love and respect to Him for what He has done, and a showing of your Godly sorrow brought on by Holy Spirit bringing you to ask forgiveness and turn from it.
Forgiveness is a showing of love that He commanded, that we are to show to others out of that love for Him.
None of that was done away with at the cross, nor did Paul do away with any of it that some erroneously believe.

Heb 10:10 .
By that will we HAVE BEEN sanctified THROUGH the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Clearly it was Christ's sacrifice that sanctified us.
so why then do you reject this and imply that Christ's sacrifice failed to complete the task of sanctification?

First we are sanctified by His blood, as we continue to walk in His ways and confess our sins.
Next notice the, "once for all, " at the end as it is in italics. The reason for that is because it was added on, and not part of the original text. Leading to the fact that Jesus Christ sacrifice was the last offering once and for all to give remission from sins. That still does not do away with how we are sanctified by that blood, first repentance, second baptism, third the continuance of confession of future sins.

Again I suggest you read back through my posts. I said dead works of self righteousness under the law.
There was no mention of repentance, baptism, forgiveness, confession.
There was no mention of repentance, baptism, forgiveness, confession.
Well that is all I have been talking about, as I have not been talking about any dead works of the mosaic laws.
I am however a main supporter of Gods moral laws that is written in our hearts, which consist of His commandments without the written ordinances that went along with them in the old covenant.
Deuteronomy 4:2
" Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. "
John 14:15
If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
John 14:24
Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.
None of this was done away with at the cross, and still holds true to believers to this day. If you love Him as your Lord you will keep His words and commandments.

The error doctrine you follow tries to twist scripture to falsely claim that Christ's sacrifice did take away sin and that we're still under the law having to keep our sin ledger perfectly balanced with continual repentance.
None of this is supported in scripture.
The thief on the cross was God's example to mankind of being saved by grace. That thief had no works of the law. He had no sin ledger to perfectly keep balanced with continual repentance for fear of damnation if he missed one.
You seem to be suggesting God offers 2 different gospels.
One for those with death bed salvation.
and the other for those who live on having to keep a sin ledger, under the law, perfectly balanced with continual repentance

Well that is all I have been talking about, as I have not been talking about any dead works of the mosaic laws.
it was dead works of self righteousness under the law (which you wrongly try to slit up to fit the doctrine you follow).
K
You quoted Luke 3 which is addressing non believing Pharisees, Sadducees (Jesus called that a generation of vipers). The fruits meet for repentance is to submit to God's righteousness and believe on Jesus (which are the works Jesus told us to do, John 6:29).
The same applies to Act 26:20
The same applies to Act 26:20
In Luke 3:7 the multitude came to Him to be baptized, and He called them vipers because they were not doing works worthy of their repentance. He told them to first bring forth fruits worthy of repentance to prove their faith in Him.
Fruits worthy of repentance is not belief in Jesus, as your belief comes before repentance of sins.
Your faith/belief comes from hearing the word, and then in trusting what it says brings you to repent of your sins. Then you show that your repentance was true by your actions in your walk in the faith. If you continue to do that same sin over and over and over again, and make no attempt to turn and stop doing it. Then your repentance was not true.
Some people have watered down and changed repentance to just a change of mind from unbelief to belief.
Repentance is actually the change of mind about one's self on how the sins they walk in make them enmity to God.
That then leads to Godly sorrow that leads one to turn from and stop walking in those sins.
K
And I've been trying to show you from scripture what it is that Christians repented of.
it was dead works of self righteousness under the law (which you wrongly try to slit up to fit the doctrine you follow).
it was dead works of self righteousness under the law (which you wrongly try to slit up to fit the doctrine you follow).
If you consider dead works as sins then I can agree with you, but if you say a believer can continue to sin over and over again because sins you commit since that repentance can not be imputed on you and you can go without confessing them then I can not agree. For the bible makes it clear we were only cleansed of past sins, and future sins still have to be confessed when committed to have His precious blood to cover it.
What Peter says about what sins were cleansed;
2 Peter 1:9
But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
What Paul says on the same subject;
Romans 3:25
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Scripture to interpret scripture, as Jesus, Peter, Paul, James, and John can not teach or preach differently to how believers are to carry themselves. And if you look in 2 Peter I gave and the scriptures that proceed what he said. He gives a list of things that should be part of a believers life, and if they are not they are near sighted and blind.
[h=1]2 Peter 1:5-8[/h]5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am glad you actually put it that way, in which I highlighted, as you show maturity in the faith by showing you are making an assumption instead of just coming flat out and saying something that the other person did not say. I don't mean to seem as if I am getting pissed off with people in my responses to them, but that really upsets me as their are a couple on this site that do that. Read more into what a person said, then in their response they say things the other person didn't trying to make them look bad.
As for answering you on this, no I am not talking about works of the mosaic law which would be those who try to be justified by it. What I was talking about is we are to walk in God's moral laws that are written in our heart. Sin is part of our life rather one wants to admit it, or not. It then comes to how you deal with it as a believer, for a believer will confess that sin for forgiveness. Trying to be under the law or being justified by it is the wrong way to look at sin.
For instance: The law says nothing about TV, but if you put TV first most in your life putting it even before God then you are sinning. That sin has to be confessed and turned from.

I know another person who goes by that title, the man of sin;
2 Thessalonians 2:8-9
Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming.
This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.

Fruits worthy of repentance is not belief in Jesus, as your belief comes before repentance of sins.
Your faith/belief comes from hearing the word, and then in trusting what it says brings you to repent of your sins. Then you show that your repentance was true by your actions in your walk in the faith. If you continue to do that same sin over and over and over again, and make no attempt to turn and stop doing it. Then your repentance was not true.

Then your repentance was not true.
So, what are fruits of worthy of repentance?
Consider Rom 6:20-23
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
What is this fruit unto holiness, which results in eternal life?
It's Christ the firstfruit (1Cor 15:20).
And if the firstfruit (Christ) is holy, then the lump (Christians) is also holy.
Rom 11:16
For if the firstfruit (Christ) be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
And note also how believing on Jesus results in eternal life, as Rom 6:22 also refers to.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
And this all also happens to be consistent with God's will.
John 6:40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Thus we see (in contradiction to your precarious multi-stage gospel with it's sin ledger) that when we repent of our dead works of self-righteousness (Heb 6:1), and instead, turn back to God, believing on Jesus, many things happen simultaneously at that point.
1:Christians become servants of God, Rom 6:22, obeying God's will, John 6:40.
2:We're made free from sin, Rom 6:22 (thus we "cannot sin" 1John 3:9, we've "ceased from sin" 1Pet 4:1)
3:We're holy because Christ our firstfruit is holy, Rom 11:16
4:Everlasting life, Rom 6:22, John 3:16, John 6:40.
Christ is the firstfruit, 1Cor 15:20, and in believing on Jesus we have Christ in us. Fruits worthy of repentance.
The thief on the cross had fruits worthy of repentance. He believed on Jesus.
Some people have watered down and changed repentance to just a change of mind from unbelief to belief.
Repentance is actually the change of mind about one's self on how the sins they walk in make them enmity to God.
That then leads to Godly sorrow that leads one to turn from and stop walking in those sins.

You belittle repentance from dead works of self-righteousness (which is unbelief), in an attempt to focus upon (dead) works of the law for righteousness (that is you don't see a Christian as righteous and pure unless their sin ledger is perfectly balanced with continual repentance of any transgressions of the law that Christians are not even under).
Now what sin is the world convicted of?
It's unbelief in Jesus, John 16:9
What is Christ's command?
We're to believe on Jesus, John 3:16
What works are we to do?
We're to believe on Jesus, John 6:29.
How do we overcome the world?
We believe on Jesus, 1John 5:5
How did the thief on the cross enter into paradise?
He believed on Jesus.
What works does Heb 6:1 say that we repented of?
It was dead works (of self-righteousness, which is unbelief).
Scripture clearly shows that repentance is a change of mind from unbelief (rejecting Christ) to belief (believing on Jesus).
So does works of the law fit into this picture?
Gal 3:12
the law is not of faith
Gal 5:4
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Rom 11:6
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Thus we see you attempt at "watering down" repentance of dead works of self-righteousness (unbelief) and changing it into repentance of transgressions of the law (that Christians are not even under) to meet a demand to perfectly balance out a sin ledger, is not supported in scripture.

If you consider dead works as sins then I can agree with you,
Remember that whatever the law says it says to those under it, Rom :19
Therefore the charge of sin/transgression of the law applies only to those under the law.
And who are those under the law?
It's those who reject Christ as they seek to establish their own righteousness through works of the law. These unbelievers are under the law thus they can be charged with sin/transgression of the law.
So we see that it's unbelievers who are into dead works of self-righteousness, as we all know that our own righteousness is as filthy rags (thus they're dead works).
Christians however, are not under the law. Hence we cannot be charged with sin/transgression of the law/unrighteousness (Rom 8:33, 1John 3:9, 1Pet 4:1).
but if you say a believer can continue to sin over and over again because sins you commit since that repentance can not be imputed on you and you can go without confessing them then I can not agree
As for that sin ledger you always bring up, I can assure you that scripture does not speak of a sin ledger that needs to be perfectly balanced out with confessing.
. For the bible makes it clear we were only cleansed of past sins, and future sins still have to be confessed when committed to have His precious blood to cover it.
What Peter says about what sins were cleansed;
2 Peter 1:9
But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
What Paul says on the same subject;
Romans 3:25
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

The scriptures you quoted above confirm what I've been saying. When we received Christ that's when sin ceased for us (1Pet 4:1), thus we see above that only past sin was forgiven.
But if a true Christians, as described in Heb 6:4-6, was to reject Christ and then turn back to the law (thus making themselves a sinner, Gal 2:18), then for such there is no more repentance.
Scripture to interpret scripture, as Jesus, Peter, Paul, James, and John can not teach or preach differently to how believers are to carry themselves. And if you look in 2 Peter I gave and the scriptures that proceed what he said. He gives a list of things that should be part of a believers life, and if they are not they are near sighted and blind.
2 Peter 1:5-8
5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Remember that Christians are fighting the good fight of faith, 1Tim 6:12-14.
All the qualities listed in verses 5-7 confirm our faith in Jesus.
Having kindness and love is consistent with Christ's command that we love one another (1John 3:23).
And remember that just as God showed His love/grace to us and forgave us, then we likewise show the same love/grace and forgive 7x70. This means we do not preach judgement/condemnation for not keeping the law, as to preach such a works doctrine would only show that we do not believe on Jesus to begin with.
Self-control and perseverance is all necessary for the testing of our faith that Christians inevitably face (James 1:2-4).
Virtue (Chastity) is consistent with God's will (1Thess 4;3) that we abstain from spiritual sexual immorality with Hagar (who is symbolic for righteousness by works of the law, Gal 4:24). In believing on Jesus we are one spirit with him 1Cor 6:17) therefore we should maintain our virtue in this spiritual marriage.
knowledge of the word. Remember Christ is our spiritual food and drink that strengthens us.
Godliness is:
1Tim 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
1Tim 4:8
godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
Ro 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Ro 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
7 ¶ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Its odd that some cannot read these passages and believe what they clearly say?
