Friend I have not idea what Bible you read, but you are spreading the doctrine of devils, and have no understanding of the Word of God....you are professing yourself to be wise, but have become a fool, you are wind and clouds without rain...
The power of sin has not been removed.
Romans 8.2 says we have been freed for the law of sin and death...
[SUP]2[/SUP]
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death
Colossians 1.12-14 says:
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
[SUP]13 [/SUP]
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
[SUP]14 [/SUP]In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
1 Cor 15.55-57
[SUP]55 [/SUP]O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
[SUP]56 [/SUP]The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
[SUP]57 [/SUP]
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 6.5-7 says:
[SUP]5 [/SUP]For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
[SUP]6 [/SUP]
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]For he that is dead is freed from sin.
It can still convict anyone including any believer
SIN does not convict anyone...The Bible says the comforter reproves[convicts] the world of Sin and we know the comforter to be the Holy Spirit...Furthermore SIN doe snot convict a beleiver nor does the Holy SPirit, the HS convicts a believer of not being righteous....
John 16.7-14
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]And when he is come,
he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Of sin, because they believe not on me;
[SUP]10 [/SUP]
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
This concept that one is forgiven by virtue of belief is not found in scripture.Christ is not interested in declaring a person not guilty and at the same time that person makes no change.
Oh really!?!?
My Bible tells me in ROmans 10.9-10 that I am forgiven if i believe:
[SUP]9 [/SUP]That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
And the idea that one is actually declared "not guilty" because of faith is another travesty of understanding
All of
Romans 4 and 5 refutes and defeats your doctrine of devils clearly and soundly....
Christ is not interested in declaring a person not guilty and at the same time that person makes no change
Romans 3.24-26 refutes you again...
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
[SUP]25 [/SUP]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;
[SUP]26 [/SUP]To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
You cannot attain Christ by any of your good works....
I Cor 5.17-21 & Eph 2.8-9... again you are refuted...
Change happens through faith, not by works....
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
[SUP]19 [/SUP]To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Eph 2.8-9:
[SUP]8 [/SUP]For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Not of works, lest any man should boast.
The whole purpose of our relationship is to change from our sinful ways to be like Christ. This is not a five second event in the life of a believer. The purpose of the Church and the sacraments is to assist in our healing. The Church itself is a sacrament. Sin is actually a test of one's faith. Which is why so many believers fall away. Paul even states that any sin is a loss of faith. Repentance and confession are two most common acts of any believer if he desires to remain IN Christ
You are in such error here I cannot go on....You are destroyed for your complete lack of knowledge...SIN is not a test of ones faith....Are you saying Jesus sinned here? His faith was tested more than anyone? Believers fall away because of false teachers like you that attempt to keep them striving for a standard of being Christ like they will never or are told in the Bible to attain...you are a modern day pharisee! you smugly and arrogantly preach false doctrine and are taking many to hell with you...
I have cut you to the core with the sword of the Spirit, you need to seriously get with someone to help you friend, you state nothing that is Biblical or even in the Bible...all you vomit out are suppositions and opinions and nothing, not a thing you posted is even in the Bible....
Satan has you and is sifting you as wheat friend, but I will pray that your faith not fail you and when you are converted you will strengthen the brethren....
