I would like to bring you back to what you are commenting on.
Evil desires lead to sin. We need to resolve this in our hearts.
How is this self revelation not from God?
This is like going into a place for those who need special medication.
Only those who do not know the Lord would speak like this or do not
listen to Jesus. It is a fundamental belief of the christian faith.

you said one can do enough good to gain salvation <--false
Is this what is being claimed? This would be preterism, gaining salvation apart from Jesus
You said you have a private special revelation from God <--false
When God speaks to my heart it is a private revelation. As far as I have seen nothing has
been said as to what this is, and so it cannot be called true or false.
You peddle a works based salvation <--- false
You make no distinction between protestant and catholic views on this so not exactly
mind blowing. You have no credibility until you can recognise these divides.
I despise what you peddle....I hate no one....
If what people are sharing is their experience and who they are, despising their experience
is despising them. Do you not see it is easy to become a hater of people while claiming to
be a hater of positions? This is why I want to understand people and know them first.

A true spiritual window - evil desires
If someone allows evil desires to reign in their hearts and have seared their consciences
of course if this is raised as something spoken about by God through Jesus and the Apostles
it will be denied.
But without repentance at this level, where are we? Lost in sin and ready for judgement.
Our excuses will not work, because we are either purified and cleansed before the Lord
or it is some compromised farce.
And each one knows the doors they keep closed and secret fantasies they pursue and have
not handed them over and submitted to the King.
But these very things destroy and keep us out of the Kingdom.
There is no real spiritual reality while we hold on to these addictions, however they manifest
themselves.
Scripture is clear, "Be Holy because I am Holy"
1 Peter 1:16 Leviticus 11:45
You are to be holy to me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.
Lev 20:26
I the LORD am holy-I who make you holy.
Lev 21:8
