1 | not holding sins against them | Ps 25:18 | srbaegon | 57775 | ||
Hello packer Are you saying that confession is fine, but asking forgiveness is wrong? In all this, you might be confusing salvation in relation to the penalty of sin (when we are justified) with salvation in relation to the power of sin (ongoing sanctification). They are two different issues. Steve |

2 | not holding sins against them | Ps 25:18 | packer | 57780 | ||
confession is saying the truth, repentance i changing you mind. asking forgiveness for something already forgiven is not having understanding. we are saved by His life, not by forgiveness of our sins when we ask for it. john three sixteen says it plainly "that they may have life" the gospel is veiled, hiddened by traditional teaching. why can't we get people saved? because we won't tell them that they are forgiven but need life. |

Hello packer I think I understand now. You are saying that the entire world is already forgiven by virtue of the cross, but they still need to believe to gain life. That presents a difficulty with verses like: Acts 2:38 (ESV) And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 10:43 (ESV) To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name." Acts 26:18 (ESV) to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.' These say we don't receive forgiveness until something happens on our part. How can we already have forgiveness, and yet be instructed to attain it? I've never seen or heard of this before, so I hope you don't mind me drawing these things out. Steve |

i don't mind. i just have seen preachers struggle to get people saved and have wondered why. i think all preachers want people to be saved for selfish and unselfish reasons. but why aren't they being saved. how can they believe if they are not taught... it is the holy spirit who gives life, we are saved by that life. if a person does not receive the good news that his sins are not held against him he won't be saved because he won't as for life. hebrew means one who has crossed over, the same with name changes, saul into paul and so on. baptism is the same thing, a public declaration that we have gone from adam to christ. we have had a name change because we have changed families. that is how we are in christ in whom there is no condemnation |
