We know the false teaching that all sinning past, present, and future is already forgiven, once anyone first believes Jesus died on the cross.
But the real question is why?
Scripture teaches that without confession made of sinning, there is no forgiveness for it. Forgiveness is only if we confess sinning.
This is simple enough, because who argues against confessing sins to be forgiven by God?
OSAS does because Scripture also teaches that there is no forgiveness nor justification by Christ without confession made of sinning.
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
Forgiveness of sins is the redemption of His blood, therefore, without first confessing our sinning, we have no forgiveness, nor redemption.
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
And since justification is through redemption, then without first confessing our sinning, there is no forgiveness, redemption, nor justification by Christ.
And where there is no justification by Christ, there is no salvation of Christ.
And so, OSAS must be rid of the necessity of confessing sinning, in order to be forgiven of God, without which there is no salvation nor justification by Christ.
Hence, they must have all their sinning past, present, and future already forgiven, with salvation and justification now neatly wrapped up in an unconditional and untouchable heavenly paper bag, where all forgiveness is already sealed.
You want to sin with the devil? No problem. You're already forgiven, and so still saved. Just do it and get it over with, and then move on with the Lord again, in most wonderful celebratory grace.
