1 | Un-repented Sin | Heb 6:6 | Vintage68 | 217505 | ||
Hi Lionheart un, a prefix freely used in English to form verbs expressing a reversal of some action or state, or removal, deprivation, release, etc. or to intensify the force of a verb already having such a meaning. repented, To feel remorse, contrition, or self-reproach for what one has done, be contrite. To feel such regret for past conduct as to change one's mind regarding it: To make a change for the better as a result of remorse or contrition for one's sins. To feel regret or self-reproach for: repent one's sins. OK it isn't a word, but it should be:-) I would then say. If Christians die with un-confessed sin, not having expressed their remorse for said sin, how will they be judged? A Christian commits a sin in the morning, then another sin at noon, but before they could confess these sins,asking for forgiveness, when they say their nightly prayers they die. Vintage68 |

2 | Un-repented Sin | Heb 6:6 | DocTrinsograce | 217508 | ||
Dear Vintage, You confuse the descriptive with the prescriptive, or the cause with the effect. Repentance is continually manifested in the life of one who is regenerate. Salvation is a work of God alone, always bearing fruit that we can characterize. Salvation is not a matter of some cooperative effort between man and God. He does not share the glory. How sad it must be to live with this Campbellite teaching. No wonder they baptize over and over. How fearful it must be to contemplate each night that one may have neglected to confess some sin or another. In Him, Doc Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee; let the water and the blood, from Thy wounded side which flowed, be of sin the double cure; save from wrath and make me pure. Not the labors of my hands can fulfill Thy law's commands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling; naked, come to Thee for dress; helpless, look to Thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die. While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eyes shall close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee. --Augustus Toplady |

3 | Un-repented Sin | Heb 6:6 | Vintage68 | 217510 | ||
Hi Doc I asked the question, looking for an honest answer. If you feel as though I was leading the exegesis into a direction, then I humbly apologize for any misunderstanding you may have had. The question, as stated originally, then amended for clarification, I will attempt to put into a perspective that would not give you any more problems, as far as to the intent of the question. I have from time to time, on this Forum, seen posts that say things like, "There are sins that I commit over, and over again, but I always make it a point to confess my sins, in my nightly prayers, before I go to sleep." Have these Christians then not deviated from the faith? So the question arose. If a Christian believing they are saved by Grace, and also believing in the doctrine of "once saved always saved", then confessing to having sin in their lives, whereby they confess, asking forgiveness for those sins committed on a daily basis. "What would happen to these Christians if they died, before they could confess those sins?" Is that not a legitimate question? I for one cannot understand how these things can be. As you have so aptly stated., "How fearful it must be to contemplate each night that one may have neglected to confess some sin or another." But you on the other hand have apparently reconciled this question, where upon you have made the following statement. "Repentance is continually manifested in the life of one who is regenerate." Could you direct me as to the place, or places in scripture where this teaching can be found? Vintage68 |
