Time to grow. = start NOW.

[Behold]

---

Saint...

Its time to put on the big boy pants and get out of the gospel crib.
Time to get the thumb out of your mouth and get off the carnal tit.

Ready yet?
Are you ready to grow up into Christ, or do you just want to stay in the sinning, confessing, repenting, carnal DIAPER..... till you die?

Its up to you.

And sure, i know that some of your are in this diaper for 30+ yrs.
You have a nice church, you have all your friends there, the music is good, and the Pastor, Priest, Minister, is a theological idiot, and that is why you are still in the gospel CRIB 30 yrs after you are saved.
This "religious system" kept you theologically dumbed down, all your Christian life, Reader.

Im not that minister. Im trying to elevate you so that your mind comes into perfect spiritual alignment with the "mind of Christ".

So, is being a born again diaper baby all you can do?
Is that your finish line? Sinning, repenting, and confessing?
Thats your BEST for God?
Really?
Do you really not want more then that baby christian "sinning and confessing and repenting" carnal lifestyle?

Paul said to GROW UP and get PAST THAT carnal christianity.
When will you start?
When???

Hebrews 6:1

"" So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God.""""

And Notice that Paul says.....""let US"... stop.
But he's not talking about Himself, he's not the baby.
So, understand that a preacher-teacher-apostle... will say "we", or "us", and often he's hes not talking about himself, he is talking to the group = about THEM.
This is...."if WE say we have no sin"...= He's talking about the GROUP... not about himself.
This is.."if WE willfully sin"... = He's talking about the GROUP,... not about himself.
This is. "so let US stop"..= He's talking about the GROUP... not about himself.
So, what you are to do, is learn how to live a perfected discipleship, that does not include sinning, confessing, and repenting, as a LIFESTYLE.

You have to get past this baby carnal christian lifestyle, and grow up in Grace, and start doing something for the Lord before you die and meet Him, Saint.

Listen, some of you really want to live Holy, and you really want more of God and more of the supernatural. You want to KNOW that you are in the ministry, and you want to be available and dependable and walking in the LIGHT.
But God is going to do nothing with you as long as your walk of Faith is carnal = sinning, repenting, and confessing.
God is looking for your ultimate DEDICATION. He's not interested in you being in NEUTRAL all your Christian life.
He will leave you there..... Reader. As that is where most of you are since you've been saved.

SEE, the provision is always available for you to "come to the fullness of the stature of Christ". You are supposed to be doing that NOW.
You are to be that now....to exist there NOW, and most of you are lost in the theological weeds of baby christian elementary school as Hebrews 6:1 just explained to you.
And....This is because you never started your walk of faith in the right MIND, getting the right MILK of the word.
You were jerked off the track by a liar and stranded in the Theological ditch before you ever had a chance to start out in the LIGHT.

So, if you are going to mature in Christ, you have to start here, Hebrews 13:9 and get yourself intensely grounded in the blood of Jesus (theologically) so that you stop any type of carnal thinking that is related to you trying to live a life that you are trying to offer, so that God will keep you.
You have to get out of those mental carnal baby clothes and get past that "elemental , crib stage, of repenting and confessing".

You have got to begin to understand who you are in Christ.
This is WHO YOU ARE = IN CHRIST.

A Child of God.
A Heir of God
A joint Heir with Christ
The Bride of Christ.
The Body of Christ.
A Saint.
A Priest.
BORN AGAIN, = new creation.

You are not a "saved sinner."" so, get OUT of that mind.
You are not a repenting confessing Christian fail, unless you stay there in that baby christian MIND.
You are instead "ONE" with God and Christ,... translated from darkness to Light, and IN THE BELOVED.
You are a Child of Heaven, ... Made Righteous, and kept so by the Blood of Jesus.

This is...."if WE say we have no sin"...= He's talking about the GROUP... not about himself.
This is.."if WE willfully sin"... = He's talking about the GROUP,... not about himself.
This is. "so let US stop"..= He's talking about the GROUP... not about himself.

The word "we" does indeed refer to the person speaking and to the people he is speaking to.

You are not a "saved sinner."

In one sense this is true. As sanctified believers we "do not sin" and "cannot sin" (1 John 3:9); because sin is rendered dead within us (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8).

In another sense it is not true; for we are all "sinners" (see 1 Timothy 1:15) by the definition that we all have sin dwelling in our mortal flesh (1 John 1:8, Galatians 3:22, Romans 3:23, Philippians 3:21 (kjv)).

Phl 3:21, Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

 

[Behold]

The word "we" does indeed refer to the person speaking and to the people he is speaking to.

No it does not.

You have to think.

Would Paul be sinning?
Would Paul be willfully sinning?
Is Paul a sinner?

Listen, you can't just read the bible.
You have to discern it.

Paul is not a sinner, willfully sinning, who needs to confess his sin, while he's talking to a group(s).

You seem to not realize something.
God came here to supply 2 things.
The removal of your sin, and the imputation of His Righteousness.
So, if you have sin, you are a sinner and you are not born again.
You can't "repent and confess" you way back into God's Righteousness, nor can you GAIN God's righteousness, that you have to have to go to heaven, by "repenting and confessing".

So....Until you understand your position in Christ, justbyfaith, you'll just keep pasting your same colorful verses, mindlessly, instead of actually understanding them, at all.
Nothing new for you.
You really need to do more on a Forum then just spend hours every day of your life posting the same verses over and over as if this matters.

 

[justbyfaith]

So, if you have sin, you are a sinner and you are not born again.

If you say that you have no sin, you deceive yourself and the truth is not in you.

Therefore, by your definition, if you claim to be born again, you are a deceived individual and devoid of the truth in your inward parts.

But this is not the case; because according to sound doctrine, even born again believers in Christ have indwelling sin.

It is not to say that we have to live by the sin that dwells within us; for the element of sin can be rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8).
