You are entitled to your beliefs Angela, as I am. I am not going to defend hyper-grace as much as some would try to pull me into that direction. I will discuss God's grace revealed in His Word, however. Also too, the sufficiency of Christ's work on the cross and work thereafter as our High Priest. Forgiveness is ours, justification ours, redemption ours. Reconciliation with the Father, ours.
I would say that all of us agree on progressive sanctification, but may we may differ on approach. We may also differ on why we commit certain actions (such as confession). Regardless, I hope that we continue to uphold the Gospel and give credence to all that Christ has accomplished for us through His sacrifice and resurrection.

Might I suggest Ben, in the "light" of "free speech" verses "hyper grace?" You change the "handles" on your "battering ram?" Or, use something more in your "veiling" of it.
Or, perhaps go to the Conspiracy and Corruption forum?
As it stands now, it appears you are defending hyper grace, although you are adamant you are not.
Makes one wonder just who you are trying to convince? Yourself? Or everyone else.
Just as "free speech" in the outside, or "real" world, as proponents of
princapalities, may consider it, gives rise to "uttered verbages", albeit,
free for those sucking air and vocalizing, are too many oft times, especially in
these days, not very
guarded speech! Nor very
disciplined!
Mocking and scoffing, are the terms used in the Bible.
Terms such as this person is
slower then the 2nd coming! Oft times used by "supposed" christians, are "buzz terms" of "mockery", indicating a "shallowness" of
discipline of spirit/depth of root/s/stony groundedness, or "milkiness." There are other such "buzz terms", engaged by, and with princapalities. And, just as many oft times, the christian is, or made to feel oppressed, into joining in, with such scoffing and/or mockery. As "certain" consequences are sure to be rendered upon those who don't!
Oh yeah! Another one....
It IS, what it IS! Instead of
It IS, what it Has BECOME! Indicative of an assessment of, or upon the apparent direction, and reasons why it must
remain the way it is. Which, of course, is very "flux", yet not up for debate, when it changes to the
new and improved: It IS, what it is! Is it?
