Perfect example of Christ Living in an individual; this pastor has been living free from willful sin for 47 years consistently.. Do you believe God requires for his followers to live a life free from willful sin; a holy life exactly like Jesus Christ?

Now you’re being obtuse. John 8:36 NKJV Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. Who made her free? Who? Did she make her herself free? Yes it’s a gift given to her by Jesus. That gift is called ‘free indeed’. Thus Jesus can say to her go and sin no more. This is so obvious I can’t even understand why you’re not acknowledging it. The thing is, I’m not even arguing that this is a gift only given to some. In fact, it is a gift given to everyone who puts their trust in Jesus. The problem is that you’re not acknowledging why Christians still sin. I have told you this before. Christian still sin because they have a judgment and Jesus fixed that woman’s judgment in that moment. Very few Christians have a loud Holy Spirit to deal with their judgment that keeps them in bondage. You can keep ranting at me about it, but maybe you should go pray about it, because it’s so obvious. I don’t even understand why you’re confused. Maybe it’s because your presumption keep you from seeing it from a different angle. This is not my opinion, this is what the Holy Spirit taught me directly from the Scriptures. And the fact is, it’s plainly stated.

Just like you are adding it to salvation????? Apply your standard to yourself first.

Crazy how you guys ignore the context and ignore the rest of what he said. There is a good reason he responds the way he does, and it is not to justify sinning.

Not at all. His revelation on the identity of being righteous in Christ is the right path to freedom from sin. And i don’t accept your doctrine of salvation is a command to go and sin no more. Go and sin no more is a gift that we step into as we mature into identity. That identity comes as a revelation of Christ righteousness.

His name was always Saul to the Hebrews & always Paul to the Romans. You're really embarrassing yourself. Please study.

No. His name was never changed. His Hebrew name was Saul & his Roman name was Paul. His primary ministry was to Gentiles, so he was referred to as Paul beginning in Acts 13. Nearly everything in this reply is incorrect.

It’s so simple, and it’s crazy to me how almost no one wants to accept this because it’s too easy. They have no idea just how significant our acceptance of the righteousness of Christ is. We become complete in Him.

Isn’t it your belief that God is decreeing my “bad faith” arguments though? Are you saying He’s wrong here?

For the people who hold to a false, works-based gospel, believing salvation can be lost or forfeited, believing that their behavior, performance, lifestyle, obedience, or any works they do contribute to eternal salvation, who say things like: “I do this, I do that, I did this, I did that, I don't do this, I don't do that, I didn't do this, I didn't do that, I, I, I, me, me, me…” You sound very similar to this pharisee in the Bible… Luke 18:9-12 KJV And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. Jesus said that man was not justified… Self-righteousness always sounds like: “I thank you God that I… I do… I don’t… I keep… I obey…” “I am righteous because I do these things or b/c I don't do this or that.” And that self-exalting mindset reflects the same root sin Scripture shows in Lucifer’s fall, pride. Isaiah 14:12-14 KJV How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. I… I… I… me… me… me… always exalting self. This is the heart of every false works-based salvation message, lifting up yourselves instead of believing in the finished work of Christ alone. Change your mind and believe the Gospel. Salvation is by God’s grace through faith alone, not by your behavior, not by your performance, not by your attempts at righteousness, not by any works you do, (Acts 16:30–31; 1 Corinthians 15:1–4; Romans 1:16; Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 4:2–6; John 3:16; Romans 3:22–28).
