At the time were you committing a bad sin you couldn't turn away from on your own? And after that light feeling was the desire completely gone and you were free? That freedom from sin is a sign you've been born again of the Spirit. That is why 1 John 3:9 says the born again cannot commit sin.

@JimKnox Hi. So from your laughing emoji does that mean you are part of the reformed doctrine of John Calvin?

The heresy that started 500 years ago in the Reformation was the truth that after we are initially cleansed of mortal sins unto death from our nature and we cannot commit those major sins anymore, making us righteous, and the only type of sin that from then on are minor sins not unto death...

and @MostlyConfused Jesus does the correct order as we submit ourselves to Him. First He is the Author of our first faith from Romans 1:16-17 righteousness revealed from faith to faith." Unlike the first covenant, the ministry of death, the new covenant is the POWER OF GOD, the ministry of the...

Romans 7:5-6 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. 6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in...

That's because they had a Day of Atonement sacrifices every year, but the sin remained year after year. So they would have to keep making yearly sacrifices. The New Covenant is different. Jesus takes away our sin once for all past sins unto death from our old sin nature Paul called the old man...

It's because they required justice to the injured.

Yes, intentional sin is willful sin and the category of sin unto death. You cannot break a commandment of God unintentionally. They all fall under the category of willful sin. Hebrews 10:26-31.

1 John 5:16-17 is about praying for each other (who claim to be Christians). If you are thinking it is a physical death like suicide, you're wrong. So what sins would a brother commit and still be alive that we are commanded not to pray for them? Name a sin 'not unto death.'

I don't doubt it. Most Protestant churches, except through John Wesley, have their beginning doctrine from either John Calvin or Martin Luther. If that's all you heard, then you need to stay and leave the darkness to those who began it.

@marks You only have to commit one sin unto death to die eternally. Like murder.

Yes, there are. In fact, there are two's many times in our New Covenant. Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed...

Hey, sweetie. Write down the scriptures I'm sharing with Jim so you can share the word with those who were taught false doctrines about sin.

Yes, it can. Who told you it can't? Jesus was conceived with the seed of the Father. But Jesus made it so we can be born again. Then 1 John 3:9 says we cannot commit sins of lawlessness, which are sins unto death." After that He works on our sins not unto death until we are complete in Him. This...

and @JimKnox Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our two faiths. As the Author He cleanses the old sin nature making it clean with a healthy Spirit led conscience to not sin willfully again (sins unto death). As the Finisher of our second level of faith (Romans 1:17) Jesus works on the fruit...

I do not agree with your second yes. It was to my: "2. Provide no condemnation for our past, present and future sins?" It you murdered someone in the future, you will receive no condemnation? My question would be, how, if you cannot commit sins of lawlessness. 1 John 3:9. Romans 8:31-34 is...

Don't you think we've already been there, done that? How do you think we became born again of the Spirit if we hadn't FIRST BELIEVED ON JESUS! NOW WHAT? That's what epi and I teach. You're an evangilist and deal with the unsaved who can only handle milk. That's your ministry. But epi and I...

There is no flesh to it. It is all Spirit who works through our conscience. You do what comes naturally. Works is doing something in opposition to your nature, therefore, is the opposite of doing what comes naturally. It is forced. See the difference? You said we were "credited righteousness."...

Don't you know that you and epi are both saying the same thing? Epi is not talking about faith in Jesus and Allah as you implied. The difference is you teach what to believe, and epi teaches how. I am a teacher of how also.

I didn't see it, so if it exists, show me again.
