There are Christians who teach certain things about unconditional salvation, and yet they are most vehement that they do not give nor have a license to sin.
Here are some things they teach:
1. All men are born to sin and will sin unto the grave: all men are and will be sinning from cradle to grave, whether saved or not.
2. Those who protest that Jesus can deliver a person from sinning, so that we don't have to sin nor are they sinning, are condemned as boastful and self-righteous.
3. Once salvation is secured by faith alone, so long as they believe that, they already have eternal salvation forever, and how they live has nothing to do with it.
4. Once a person is saved, all their sinning today and tomorrow unto the grave is forgiven, and to be convicted of sinning with godly sorrow to confess to Jesus to be forgiven, is unbelief and resisting the Holy Spirit unto denial of the cross.
5. There is no more condemnation for Christians, when they sin, like there is for the world.
6. Christian souls cannot be judged for sinning, and so their souls are unconditionally forever alive in Christ, so long as they believe that.
7. The only sin they can be judged for is the sin of unbelief, which includes not believing these things being taught.
8. There is no more law of Christ on paper to judge Christians, once they believe they are saved forever, and even if there is, then transgressing it in works of flesh is not condemned anyway, because they are freed from the judgment of the law of Christ.
There are others, but the point is that who needs a license to sin, when you have all that going for you? Why put up such a protest about some stupid license to sin, when sinning has nothing to do with anything, once you believe you are saved forever, and there's nothing any devil, or sinning, or law that can separate them from it? Is a 'license to sin' like some sort of line drawn, that such teachers agree should not be crossed, as though that were going too far, and somehow is approving of sin?
I mean, since it's not forbidden but guaranteed, and is not judged against, then why get all bothered by approving it? Afterall, since God doesn't condemn it, then why should we?
Like the man said in the Treasure of the Sierra Madre, "License?! We don't need no stinkin' license!!"
