How do I imply that liberty is sin? It's the hypergrace camp that denies confession. Denies the sin nature. I've never once said sin was okay. I'd thank you to not impose that on me. They think it's okay to do whatever they want because they are saved. Look at the preachers they promote. Grace777 called these men and those like them great leaders. Is this okay with you?

Actually, they very obviously were believers at one time. They had enough faith to become members of the new covenant and become "born again", just like Israel had faith to apply blood to their doorposts and be saved out of Egypt. But they chose unbelief and did not do the will of GOD, just like those of Israel who didn't believe and were destroyed in the wilderness. Therefore, GOD never knew them because they did their own will and didn't remain in GOD.
And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. The one who says “I have come to know him,” and does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in this person. 1 John 2:3-4
And the one who keeps his commandments resides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he resides in us: by the Spirit whom he has given to us. 1 John 3:24

No only CC. This is most of the church in one form or another today. With the introduction of Jesus Culture and Bethel Church drawing in millions of young people, International House of Prayer, feel good preachers like ol' smilin' Joel and Joseph Prince, we are seeing what I would consider the great apostasy in action. It's wholly satanic.
