You DENY the truth of God's word & make up your own theology from fracturing Paul's epistles!If you have your sin, then you are not born again, so, do what that 1: John 1:9 verse is telling the unbelievers to do, and confess.
If you are born again, then Jesus has your sin.. 2000 yrs ago on the Cross.......as "God hath made Jesus to be sin for us".... and.... "But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God"., is your status for eternity.
You need to understand that you can't be "in Christ", and have sin.
You can be "one with God" and have sin.
You can be "seated in heavenly places" and have sin".
So, if you are born again, then Jesus has your sin, and 2 Corinthians 5:19... and Romans 4:8... say that God was in Christ not counting your sin against you, and you are blessed to be that one.
READ THE VERSES, Lisbeth, before you come back here with more blind cut and paste.
Thx.
If you are born again, then this means that Christ has your sin, and that is why God does not charge sin to you.
You dont confess what Christ has dealt with, that God does not charge you with, Lizbeth.
AmenThose were Jesus' instructions to believers.....to those who do know Him, not to those who don't know Him.
Being born again, has certainly changed my bad behaviour....but, it took years to understand...our minds need to be renewed, as you have spoken about.....I was still thinking in the flesh, you know, all about ME!!....Being born again can't change by bad behavior, as it's only caused by a BIRTH in the Spirit through/by the Holy Spirit.
Don't know if you are aware of this-Being told to "be holy" is the same as exhorting one to "be sanctified," or to "be righteous."

We need to die to self and live for Christ....which all takes time, ....making fun of people ego,pride, it’s all about self, until you die to that, you will never grow in Christ in that area, i was stuck in my bad behaviour for years and years......thank God I learnt through the Holy Spirit what that meant, ...once God speaks to your spirit, it’s there permanently......I’m in Jesus and I know that now in my spirit....I’m not in “ SELF” anymore.
I thank God for you @Behold , the Holy Spirit has taught me so much through you!
We should be walking in the Spirit....not in “ self” which profits nothing....the flesh thinking should die daily....it’s the renewing of our minds, that is our responsibility,imo/ belief.
God’s Spirit is a Living Spirit,.....we are blessed that he sent Jesus to the cross, so that we can be reunited back to him, through Jesus, via the Holy Spirit, he Lives in us.
I will wait for you to correct me if I’m in error,@Behold
Lol.
You need for the Spirit & God's word to "correct" any misunderstanding or false interpretation of thoughts in the word....not a man!
Stop being tossed about. Do some serious studying in God's word instead of searching sites to back up your, if you have any, thoughts.
The true word of God.Ok up to you jackrosie, rosiejack or any other name you come up with RJ.
A walk in darkness is a choice especially when one is offered a light.
Context Crossref Comment Greek Verse (Click for Chapter) New International Version Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. New Living Translation Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights.

If ALL you have is Paul, then I pity you !
Thank you Brother, the Holy Spirit has confirmed what I believed through you...Praise God!Amen.
The renewed mind.....is as you are understanding it Ritajanice....... its the lack of "how i think i am",... = Its getting out of that mind... that has been replaced by "how God say's i am".
THAT is the mind we are to have at all times...
A.) How does GOD see me......is how I SEE ME., from now on.
God says..>... "Made righteous"...... "new Creation in Christ".....>>"Daughter of God"....."Born again"....... "Heir of God"...."Joint heir with Jesus.
God told us...
"As JESUS is....so are the born again in THIS WORLD""".......
That is how God sees us at all times, because that is the "new Creation in Christ".
Thank you Brother, the Holy Spirit has confirmed what I believed through you...Praise God!
Amen!!....So....
That is how you filter out (spot) the heretics., as Heretics will never give Jesus THE CHRIST....ALL the CREDIT...due Him alone, for saving them, and..
= keeping them saved.
The Holy Spirit does........and they do not.
Amen!My Theology is Paul's Theology, and people who know Paul's theology, will hear me, instantly, and clearly.
Paul received His Theology from "Jesus Himself", not from a "church father" or a "cult", or a "denomination".
@Behold
You have zero discernment, zero teaching skills & I'm done with the both of you.......
But beware.......all ain't what it seems
I'll have to revisit this. I'll be on the road for some time. Great subject. Holiness begins with God, and His Word is the basis of our Sanctification. But to progressively be sanctified we require conversion by the Word to Christ himself, so that *all* that we do is based on his Word.To reiterate, those who are holy in position (in Christ) now have the responsibility (and the power) to live holy in their experience (Christ like). Positional holiness is tantamount to justification, while experiential holiness represents progressive sanctification (growth in holiness or Christ likeness).

Philippians 1:1 Commentary | Precept Austin

Amen....Just learn that Salvation is the Cross of Christ, that is a GIFT, that you can't earn or keep.
You receive it by Faith, and God and Christ take it from there.
"God who began SALVATION IN YOU......will HImself be faithful to COMPLETE IT".
This is the Gift of God,...it is our Redemption through the Blood of Jesus. "to all who BELLIEVE"
This is the new Covenant.
This is. """ the GOSPEL of the Grace of God.""
= Paul's Gospel
I believe we mature spiritually over time, just as we mature physically.
