Perhaps we can make a one-time confession to the Lord, saying that I agree with Him concerning everything that He says in my life is sin, that it is sin and that I have committed it; from the perspective of the Omniscience of the Father, concerning past, present, and future sins. Such a thing would surely bring about forgiveness for all sins in a person's life; for it takes Psalms 51:3 into account.

Welcome to Christian Forums, a Christian Forum that recognizes that all Christians are a work in progress.
You will need to register to be able to join in fellowship with Christians all over the world.
We hope to see you as a part of our community soon and God Bless!
Oh how we limit God so, when God says it is done it is done, closed, ended, finished, over, complete. He is not like a man who has to keep going back to fix things He missed.
I do think that when we are saved, we are forgiven positionally before the Father; and that we confess our sins in order to restore fellowship when it becomes broken by sin (see Isaiah 59:2).
So, when you insult people like this, it's not a sin. I guess that's convenient for you, anyway.
Why should I stop committing carnal deeds if they aren't sins? I'm not going to be judged for them anyway, well, according to some random dude on the internet, at any rate. But scripture keeps telling me not to sin. Who should I believe? Hmmm...I'm pretty sure random dude on internet isn't the one I should listen to.
Only as we are led by the Spirit are we not under the Law.
The Law governs backsliders as well as sinners.
Even marriage between Christians, which is a permissible carnal act, is governed by he Law.
So, only the Spirit led saint lives above the Law and is free from the Law.
This is the reason Jesus was even led of the Spirit per Luke 4:1.
This is very odd theology you just taught.
There is no verse in the bible, in the New Testament, or in the known universe related to any Greek text used to create a Bible, or a Latin Text that was used to create a Catholic Cult, that states that the Holy Spirit deals with us as sinners.
Also, being that we are not "sinners', but Saints and Sons of God, whose SIN has been redeemed and remitted by the Blood of Jesus, ... this would also be at odds with your very odd anti-Grace Theology.
So, are you a Mormon or a JW, as this theology of yours is not related to The Charismatic groups, the Baptists groups, the Methodists groups or any mainline denomination, tho it could be i suppose one of the weird teachings of the Berean groups.
Can you name the commentary where you were taught this crazy theology?
Would be interesting to find out who has caused you to believe this..
Now, i know your initial reaction is going to be to hide all this info from us, and you'll want to say...>"i got it from the New Testament".
So, before you do that, you remember that there is no verse in the NT that says the Holy Spirit deals with God's born again, as "sinners".
Christ gave the NT to you to "study to show yourself approved" to His Father.
The NT was given as Letters written by Apostles.
Most of the NT was written by One Apostle., Paul.
Paul letters, according to Peter are "Torah", they are Bible.
This must be true, as Christianity is built on Paul's teachings, with Jesus's Blood and the Cross being the foundation of it all.
If you want to follow Christ you do it by using a Bible as your final authority.
The NT, specifically.
This was Paul's work, for the most part.
The word is GOD's..... the Teacher is the Holy Spirit, .....the main writer of the NT is Paul.
Go there.
Stay there.
You dont have to sin against the Lord.
You dont have to live a life of sining and confessing and repenting.
You have been taught that this is what your Christianity is supposed to be, and you believe this, so you are following your faith.
Someone lied to you. They have convinced you that your life as a believer is...>"sin and confess", till you die.
Well, mjhealth, this that you have been taught is the Devil's lie.
He wants you to sin and confess.
The DEVIL wants you to live a life of sinning and repenting and never being able to stop.
God however, has a different idea regarding how you are supposed to exist as a Son and a Saint and a Child of the Light.
Such bizarre theology to teach that the HS may be pinpointing a sin..
And what about the other 500?
Did he forget those, as you certainly did.
See, you have a big inner confusion regarding "sin consciousness" and the "flesh" and a "specific sin".
Listen, your CONSCIENCE will be pointing out any "sin" thoughts or "carnal desires".
And if you have a stronghold, then the HS as you bizarrely teach, is not able to resolve it by pointing it out.
How can pointing out a flesh stronghold cause it to be resolved.
A.) It CANT.
You have be delivered...
So, that is going to come in 2 ways..
1.) Right believing that destroys the bondage to the LAW that is ruining your Christianity (See my Threads)
2.) Hebrews 12:6
Why should you stop committing carnal deeds if they are not sin?
How many reasons do you want, renniks.
Your question is missing an element of common sense and logic.
Listen, if you are living a carnal life, you are condemned at times in yourself. = guilt trip.
This is why you repent and confess. You are trying to get rid of that guilt and condemnation that is making you feel sick.
So, would you rather have those times of condemnation that you could avoid?
Also, we are not to use our liberty in Christ as a means to live carnally. Paul explains this to you in Galatians 5:13
James teaches you to live a life that is proof of your Faith in Christ, so that your deeds prove you are not in "dead faith", and this is for the benefit of people you impact, who see you, who know you, and can be led to the Cross and The Grace of God because you live a life that is holy.
Also, when you commit carnal deeds, these fall under the dominion of 'sowing and reaping"....So, these deeds, will produce a consequence, and this is going to hurt. And it might hurt your family, and it can destroy your life or ministry. So, learning how to stop committing works of the flesh, carnal deeds, is something that every believer has to learn to accomplish, for all those reasons i listed, and more.
Sometimes a carnal believer will be told....>"your sin is gone, and you are the righteousness of God". And this carnal person says....>"see thats license to sin, thats cheap grace,"
And this carnal person is sinning and confessing and can't stop. Yet, they hear me teach, or Paul from the NT, and they wont have it, so that they can be free, and so the best they can do is resist right believing and deny freedom from sin.
There are a lot of these type people who fight my Threads.
Listen, when a person understands that living in the Grace of God, under this "Grace" dominion, frees them from Sinning , they soon discover that the more they "walk in the Spirit", the more they do not want to sin..
The Carnal believer, because they dont understand GRACE, thinks....well, if i believed that i was not held accountable for my sin in Eternity, then i will then take advantage of this and live in sin on earth.
But its the opposite that happens. ....
Its when you try keep yourself saved, is why you sin more, and when you get off the Cross and just believe that The blood of Jesus that saved you will keep you saved, no matter how you behave......you will discover that THIS causes you to hate sin and love Holiness, whereas you did not before.
Paul teaches that "you are not under the law you are under Grace".
You teach that only if we are led by the Spirit, we are not under the law".
Here is the thing. If you walk in the Spirit, you will not sin.
So, you dont have to be led by the Spirt to walk in the Spirit, you have to instead believe right to walk in the Spirit.
Also, the Law has dominion over all unbelievers and over any believer who is trying to "stay saved" by self effort. Or if they are trying to stop sinning by will power or "striving" against sin.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
This is Paul's one stipulation to the believer, not my teaching.
The reverse of that is if they are not led of the Spirit they are under the Law...Correct?
There is (John 16:8).
Absolutely not!
What are the Berean groups? My understanding of the word Berean is what it says in Acts of the Apostles 17:10-11.
Again, John 16:8.
Again, John 16:8.
Let me also say that the scripture declares that while we are not of the world, we are "in" it.
Yes, John 16:8 tells us that the Holy Spirit convicts of sin. Also, if you read between the lines of 1 John 1:7-8, you may come to the same conclusion.
Because,
1Jo 1:7, But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1Jo 1:8, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jo 1:9, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
These verses teach us that the light of the Holy Spirit will reveal to us that we have indwelling sin; and that if we confess this sin, the Lord is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

When I asked God to save me thirty-four years ago He put me in a trance as I was reading the bible. The following scriptures were part of what God spoke, by his word, to me.
Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Rom 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Rom 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
Rom 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
