Well if you don't like what Spurgeon said then go by what Jesus said in both John 3:21 and Luke 6::46-49.
Jesus says why call Him Lord if you don't do what He says, then follows it up with what it exactly means to believe in Him:
Come to Him, hear what He says, and then go do it !!!
Jesus says a hearer only has no foundation in Him, and James says a hearer only is deceived !!!

When someone truly believes in Jesus and gives their life to Him, they have repented. Yet many remain in sin because of their weak state of being. That's where grace takes over and reigns supreme. I love everything about my question to you and my response to you, but infinitely more so, I love everything about God's saving grace in Jesus Christ.
LOL..the sheep was on the Lord's back....it was the Lord who went to finds the sheep..it was the Lord who picked the sheep up and put the sheep on His shoulders....the sheep repented by trusting in the Lord to carry him and to rest in His finished work....it's a beautiful picture of the grace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
. He is awesome and we have a great salvation in Him.

No repenting means a change of mind toward the wretched sinful person we once were, and that in turn leads us to walk away from those sins and stop doing them.
Yes we will still struggle with some sins as some are harder to stop then others, but the Holy Spirit will strengthen us to overcome those sins and walk in His way.
You claim some remain in sin because of being weak, that is a sign of not allowing the Holy Spirit to strengthen them to overcome those ways. And by God's grace we need to help them and show them it can be done, which is why we are to give our testimonies.
1 Corinthians 8:11 Paul states a weak brother/sister can still perish !!!

Trying to get people to see the grace of Christ as Paul preached is like trying to get people to see "speaking in tongues" is for today.
It's like pulling teeth..lol....they have their "pet" scriptures that refutes anything to do with those devil tongues...lol..it's hilarious to watch..
..remember if the gospel you hear...does not make you say..What?..does that mean we can sin all we want?"...if people do not accuse you of this..then you are not giving out the real gospel..

I don't know what this is all about because I believe tongues are still done today, just not in the way the Charismatic movement does it or should say abuses it.
Babbling out loud funny noises is not one of the tongues mentioned in the Word of God.
Apostle Paul did preach grace but he did not preach grace alone, warnings always came in his messages as well !!!

Utah and Kenneth, I think you BOTH are using to much human logic to study God's WORD. Utah, you are into a false man centered Eternal Sec. and Kenneth you are into human false perfectionism, both are wrong Try to KEEP the Contrasts of God Word friends . "GOD knows those who are His and let him who names the names of the Lord, depart from sin" God will save only His "elect' ones and we must keep up with our repenting Trusting and obeying Jesus to be saved in the end.
Have you ever tried to "tell" someone who didn't believe in tongues that it was for today?...now you will catch our "drift"..what happens to grace believers trying to tell about the grace of Christ....behavior is a different part of it..but it's the acceptance grace that most people have a hurdle to get over.
