Must we repent in order to be forgiven?

i just quoted all his other teachings in context to that. you embrace a doctrine of devils denying freedom from sin in Christ

There's those knee Jerk responses to texts with no reguard to context.
“Depart from the faith” (vs. 1). This is the faith as a body of revealed truth, as the word is used in Titus 1:1, 4; 3:15; Colossians 1:23; and Philippians 1:27.
Unlike Catholicism and other cults within Christendom its not about 'keeping yourself by works and sacraments.

And Romans is talking about Gentiles not individuals .

AGAIN A believer today is SEALED ....UNTO ...THE ....DAY ....OF .....REDEMPTION. Clear verse .. no ambiguity..And the bible is not fighting with itself. You don't get to undo a clear verse by going to a verse that with a superficial glance you think rules out a clear verse which is directly about soteriology.

So one verse cancels out another? How can you be sealed Unto the day of redemption and yet not be sealed unto the day of redemption at the same time ?

The KJV 1611 edition of the Bible clearly stresses the requirement for repentance, baptism and complying with God's commandments as righteous living. ..."until the end".....

I am in full time ministry training in a church as a pastor intern. I am also a full time bible college student. I will be licensed as an Assemblies of God minister in April. I have another year of college and must serve in ministry for two years as a licensed minister before I am eligible for ordination. Technically I will be qualified to pastor a church after April but I am required to complete requirements for ordination if I do take a position as a pastor after April. The AOG does not require ministers to be married and has never interpreted Paul's instructions about being blameless to mean one must be married.

I am under no vows to be a Eunuch for the Kingdom of God. I prefer to stay single at this time as I do think I can study more as a result. However I am a realist and I know how quickly I could change my mind if the right woman came along some day.

And I whole heartedly agree about being blessed to be surrounded by sold out soul winners. Every day I encounter the blessing that is God's method of receiving from the giftings that are in other members of the body and how much I need them.

WOW. That is powerful writing.

This question makes me think someone has been influenced by one of the many .....slanted new age religion bibles.... published since the 1960's.

The KJV 1611 edition of the Bible clearly stresses the requirement for repentance, baptism and complying with God's commandments as righteous living. ..."until the end".....

No way...they've got reserved seating at the buffet table of debauchery, right or wrong?

Then were no better off than those in the OT before Jesus came .

Not sure what the one has to do with the other...

You claim we're too depraved for God to reason with us without first cleaning us up a bit, but over and over we see where He's well able to reason with Satan about stuff like how far to go with Job.

Well for me praise GOD man does not have the finial say in this. I do believe 1st John was address some that thought you don't need to repent or they never sinned. Yet its still true we must confess our sins. I think we confuse "behold the lamb of God that takes away the SIN of the world vs sins. Yet there is no sin that made it over under what ever the blood of Jesus. I love my kids. They will always be mine my love for them will not stop and they are always family. Yet they can still hurt me.

And its also how HE sees us. To the Father we are right now holy and righteous because we believe in Jesus Christ. Its not what WE did or do. He did it all. Its HIS righteousness not ours. So we don't have to answer to GOD for how some other believer believes. We work out our own salvation praise GOD glory to JESUS!

If you check all my Quotes on this forum they are all from the KJV.

There was one 'condition 'to recieve Jesus and that was through faith. Now you have recieved Jesus don't preach that you now save yourself .

On the other hand it is must unbecoming of a person who has given themselves to Christ to ask Christ "to I HAVE to do this" and "I don't wanna".

So the verses you approve are the clear verses?

Seems clear that osas isn’t real. People can and will fall away from the faith..the Spirit tells us this is explicitly.

How is that possible when the bible is clear that a believer is sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption. Hes predestined to it . ?

Then you must read the bible as if certain parts are not true for the believer today . When you read ' sealed unto the day of redemption ' you must first think " praise God for this wonderful assurance " ...oh but wait there s a verse here that says something to the contrary...Ok I need to change that verse to fit this one "
oh wait there is another that says ' nothing can separate you from the love of God ' .." praise God for this wonderful truth ..." oh hang on I've just seen another verse that casts doubt on this . Ok I'll undo that verse so it fits this one " ...and on and on ...You cannot trust the bible like this .

Which verse says " give yourself to christ' ?

since you asked....
Romans 12
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God
