Without scripture to backup your statement, your words hold no weight. It's one thing to accuse and condemn without evident, than it is with. So there is no pollution or blasphemy UNTIL PROVEN otherwise. You need to use scripture.

But I did answer all your questions. I said, I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I am therefore NOT, I repeat, NOT a sinner. I WAS a sinner, BEFORE I came to Christ. But now I am righteous and just. WHEN I do sin, I repent of said sin or sins, that I may be forgiven AGAIN, and...

No, I'm asking if repenting from one's sins is necessary to receive Christ in their heart. One would have to come to Christ to receive salvation, but if a person doesn't repent of their sins, will they receive forgiveness of said sins when they ask Christ in their heart? Do they have to repent...

Believe it or not, I was able to agree with most of your post while finding it informative. I believe the whole purpose for a sinner to repent of their ways is because it make it difficult, if not impossible, for God to draw them to Christ. Once they come to Christ, they still need to ACT on...

Did I ever. I apologize sir, I see it now. I was fixated on the words "we are sinners", and carried that thought through to the rest of your post. Forgive me for the error, and thank you for the correction.

I enjoyed your post too. I found it to be informative. Thank you for sharing your insightful knowledge of scripture.

I just said what I believe to be true. I hope you don't mind but I saved and filed your post for future reference, along with some of the things I dug up in scripture.

Confess, as in acting on what we believe in our hearts, for faith without a corresponding work, is dead.

In that sense, that is true. Repenting from doubt to believing the gospel. Mar 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye [from your doubting], and believe the gospel.

Act 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. (BBE) Preaching to Jews and to Greeks the need for a turning of the heart to God, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (CTBible) attesting both to Jews and Greeks...

Under the law, the Jews were to turn from their evil way that they might be drawn toward God, but that didn't save them in the respect that they experience the new birth. Come to think of it, I never repented of my sins when I was born again. It wasn't until after I received Christ that the...

Don't you believe what is written in the word of God? The bible says, you WERE a sinner b4 you came to Christ, but after Christ came into your heart through the word of God, you ARE, present tense, the righteousness of God. And your righteousness is not your own, but Christ in you. It doesn't...

You speak for yourself, not for me. I am not a sinner. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. You might want to read up on what a sinner is in the new testament and find out what happens to them when they die. It is written, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he". If you think and see...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading you post. :love: It was very well thought out and written. (y) I commend you concerning your knowledge and understanding of the scriptures. And forgive me for raving over your post, but it was just that good!!!

The devil is on a set course established by God, and He's not about to repent and change said course. It is written, Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. It was a literal night and morning for each day.

Perhaps most believe and have argued that repentance of ones' sins is required for salvation, and at least myself, say otherwise. I don't know if anyone else believes as I do. I suppose the issue of repentance revolves around the subject of God's forgiveness for the sinner. I believe...

Joh 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word [the truth]. As for why, below is from post 96. I'm going to guess by saying, you've been taught that doctrine by your church and/or pastor, right? Yes, it is simple and easy to understand, unfortunately it's...

Then how is it you agree with the majority of denominations? And not only did you fail to prove me wrong concerning the scriptures I used for the subject of repentance for salvation, but you also failed to backed up your doctrine, since you "rely strictly on scripture". I gave you some verses to...

I agree sir. If most would just believe what is written and stop adding to the verses various parts of the bible, it is very simple and easy to both see and understand.

I enjoyed your post sir. You made me chuckle a bit. And I have been saying the same as you for quite some time now, only, I don't tell them they are not saved, I say, "I question your salvation."
