You have been sowing the seeds of spiritual confusion,.
So while justification is immediate, and leads to many other things (the remission of sins, the New Birth, the gift of the Holy Spirit, etc), sanctification is a life-long process (which includes good works) and which lead to perfection and glorification.
My Threads are only confusing to baby christians or heretics who are defined regarding their heresy as "Jesus saved me, and now im saving myself".
I could show you all the heretics on this Forum, if i wrote a Thread with an option to tell the truth, and they would answer it.
But they wont, so, that Thread wont reveal them, but would.
I could just ask everyone here..
"If you are going to die in the next 40 seconds and you know it, .. .what are you trusting to get you into heaven".
= The majority of people here, can't honestly say...."Only JESUS", as they would be LYING.
Most people here in that 40 seconds till death would have a total panic attack wondering if they are about to go to hell and then the lake of fire.
And why? Because they have no faith in Christ to get them home.
They've instead spent all their Christianity trying to 'ABIDE" and "endure" and keep commandments, and they never did any of this SELF SAVING perfectly.....and so, now they will sweat and die wondering where they will end up.
Reader, you have to get your salvation locked down into God's BLOOD and keep it there...or you'll be a psychotic mess on your death bed, or in your final minutes.
"Omg, did i remember to confess all my sin....did i forget to repent of them all"...."was i enduring to the end this last 2 dayss....."was i abiding enough this week".....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!.
See that
self righteous junk? You dont want to be that
self deceived fool, in that final 40 seconds before you hit ETERNITY.
Believe it.

So, Enoch111, you are welcome to think what you like about my Threads, and i'll continue know what i know about your salvation, and your sinning and confessing.
See, you have a pride issue, that is not willing to embrace the way to stop living a carnal Christianity.
You think i have a pride issue, because of my "tone" and my "aggression" and how i wont flex my theology to suit self deceived believers.
You would rather sin and confess, then stop doing that....
And if you want to say you can't then that is true. You can't yet.. YOU cant, and many here can't..... not yet.
But ALL can. As Salvation is not designed to leave you in bondage to sinning and confessing and repenting.
Its designed to free you from judgment due you for all your sin, and also free you from your sin consciousness that is causing you , thru the power of the law, to stay a sinning confessing mess.
This is happening to you because you believe wrong regarding Grace and Eternal Life and WHY you have peace with God, always.
So, when you read Paul say...>"If you walk in the Spirit, you will NOT sin"...... You then run to 1 Jn and write "if we say we have no sin"......so that you can feel less guilty about what you do wrong and then have to repent of it.
But i'll remind you that Paul said that you are to leave the crib stage, bottle stage, Christianity : of "repenting from dead works"... (confessing sins and repenting) and GROW UP into ""the fullness of the Stature of Christ."" ON EARTH.
My Threads teach you how to do it. So, if want to continue to hide behind John and reject Paul, and keep sinning and confessing, then that is your free will choice.
