LOL! Of course we all have sinned, but once we have been forgiven of all our sin, and saved by God's grace, we are no longer sinners, but He sees us as saints. Nowhere in scripture is a Christian referred to as a sinner. Now don't go arguing about Paul declaring himself a sinner, because he was using the present tense as an ancient literary device for emphasis.

You asked a question... I answered it. Your accusations along with so many here are too numerous to mention. Coming into this forum is sort of like coming into a roman Colosseum and getting bitten by sharp teeth.
We truly need more new covenant ministries that are full of the person of Jesus exalting the cross and lifting up the finished work of Christ. Ministries that remind believers that God is no longer angry with them because of their sins and that all their failings., past, present and even those in the future have been perfectly nailed and judged at the cross.
2 Cor. 5:21 For He (God) made Him (Jesus Christ) who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (Jesus Christ)
Godly is spelled with a little "g". I often capitalize it, but it isn't necessary. Thanks for nit-picking. It's funny to me, as while I do make typos from time to time, I have worked as a literary editor and have a handle on the language. Thanks, anyway.
You are just trying to get rid of me. Not gonna do it. I am not trolling.

Her site? There is nothing false that I can see on her site. Besides if you were walking in the Spirit, you would have His graciousness to receive the meat and spit out the bones. It is not the mark of a false teacher to get something wrong now and again. There is not one Christian walking this globe who doesn't have even one thing wrong. That doesn't make them false teachers.
Why don't you go on and start teaching the word of God and forget about tearing down sisters and brothers in Christ, which hinders your walk and your witness.

Like so many in this room, you don't understand what FancyNancy is trying to share with you. The right definition of righteousness. So many believers associate rightousness with a list of things they do or don't do. This is a wrong definition and understanding of our righteousness in Christ.
We became righteous because of what Jesus did for us at the cross. Righteousness is not based on our right doing. It is based entirely on Jesus' right doing. Christianity is NOT about doing right to become righteous. It is about believing right in Jesus to become righteous. The church has been conditioned to associate being blessed with doing right. God is looking at Jesus., not us. We are saints and sons and daughters of the Most High God., no longer sinners in God's eyes.
Paul said "I do not frustrate the grace of God for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." Basically he is saying if you are depending on your good works, your doing and your ability to keep perfectly the Ten commandments to become righteous and stay that way, then Jesus died for nothing. Our righteousness is freely given, not earned.
When we see ourselves, we have to see ourselves in Christ and righteous. Established in Christ not our own selves. That is the good fight of faith., to believe that you are made righteous by faith.,not works ...not having my own righteousness which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.
The problem with tongues the way charismatics exhibit it is, they babble incoherently, yet what happened at Pentecost was not the same.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now When this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue. Acts 2:4-6
These people heard a language spoken in their own language, not some incoherent babbeling.

I guess you also require a lesson from scripture. Of course I do sin from time to time, but because I am free in Christ, and all my sins are forgiven, God tells me that no sin is imputed to me because of Jesus!
God sees no sin in His children. The record books of heaven record no iniquity, no transgression, and no sin against God’s elect. God will not impute sin to His saints, or require from us satisfaction because our sins were imputed to Christ, paid for by Christ, and expunged from the book of God’s offended justice by our Saviour’s precious blood. Scripture bears this out.
Romans 4:8
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.
Romans 8:1There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Romans 8:33-34
Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. [SUP]34 [/SUP]Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
2 Corinthians 5:19-21
that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. [SUP]21 [/SUP]For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
