Ofcourse I know that. We shouldn't repent or confess our sins to God in a spirit of condemnation but in a spirit of godly sorrow.

Godly sorrow means you realised you grieved the Holy Spirit by what you did, you're sorry for it and you apologize to Him in repentance.

While repenting in condemnation is repenting out of the fear of death (spiritual death in loss of salvation or the second death in the lake of fire)

2Cor 7v10 -Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow (or condemnation) brings death.

Godly sorrow results from love for God and the Holy Spirit when we grieve them, while condemnation results from fear of death.

The error I'm trying to correct is the impression that whether we repent and confess our sins to God or not, the sin is automatically forgiven and waived by God, and there is no consequence for it in this age or loss at the judgment seat of Christ.

That is a lie and there is no scripture that supports that ascertain.

Even though we should not repent in condemnation, we need to repent nonetheless for the sin to be forgiven and remitted by the blood, so that there will be no loss.

There is no scripture or new covenant principle that binds God to automatically forgive sins we do not repent of.

1John 1v10 - IF we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Proverbs 28v13 -He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: BUT WHOSO CONFESSETH and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Luke 17v3 -Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and IF HE REPENT, forgive him.

v4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, SAYING, I REPENT; thou shalt forgive him.

You see the principles here?

In every single one confession and repentance always preceeds forgiveness, even with God. There is no automatic forgiveness or waiver for sins not confessed and repented of.

It is only sins confessed and repented of that are remitted by the blood (that is, pardoned and have their consequence blotted out)

Let's not take this grace thing too far.

Shalom.

I think we should be careful to let the word say what it said and not interprete scripture with sentiments.

Look at this;

1Cor 3v13 -Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

v14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

v15 If any man's work shall be burned, HE SHALL SUFFER LOSS: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Scripture says here that those whose works are considered carnal (either works of the flesh or works done in the flesh) will suffer loss at the judgment seat of Christ.

If our carnal works are forgiven and written off automatically, even when we don't repent of them, why will they still cost us at the judgment? Can a debt be written off and still cause a loss?

This should not be if indeed our sins and carnal works have automatic remittance through the blood even when we don't repent.

Jesus will not forgive and write off a sinful work, and still make you suffer loss for it again. Ofcourse not! If you suffer loss for a carnal work at the judgment seat of Christ, it means the sin was not written off or forgiven.

This goes to show that sin has consequences even for a believer at the judgment seat of Christ. There is no automatic remittance for sins and carnal works you don't repent of. The sins will still make you suffer loss at the judgment seat of Christ.

It may not be loss of salvation or eternal life but it will still be a loss nonetheless, if you don't repent.

That is why apostle John admonished us to confess our sins.

1John 1v9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

And mind you, he was writing to believers.

1John 2v13 - I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

So believers still need to confess their sins and repent of them, for it to be forgiven, and for it to not make them suffer loss at the judgment seat of Christ.

Also, look at everything Jesus said He will do to the Asian churches in Relevation if they do not repent.

Rev 2v5 -Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Rev 2v16 -16  Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Why would He do that to them, if there is automatic waiver and forgiveness for sins not confessed or repented of?

Sins in the life of a believer need to be repented of for them not to have consequences in this age and at the judgment seat of Christ. There is no automatic waiver or forgiveness for sins not repented of.

Shalom

jiggaz:
Is there a place for confession of sins? My friend, if you
have just sinned, you can always tell God about it without
feeling condemned.

Obviously prophesying and praying is not TEACHING. Isn't this why there is a gift of prophecy and another of teaching?

Weah96:
We're talking about assuming the punishment for the offense committed by another. You're talking about clemency. That someone was granted clemency doesn't mean that his guilt was transferred to someone else.

Weah96:
Murderers go to jail. If you wish to bear the penalty for a murderer, then you both go to jail. There's no guilt swap in court.

ProphetUdeme:
Revelation 12 vs 10 - and i heard a loud voice saying in heaven. Now is come salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God and the power of His Christ, for the accuser of our brethren is cast down which accused them before God day and night.
The death and resurrection of Christ did it happened after The book of revelations? Or before the book of revelations.
Continue in your life of sin because there is nobody that will accuse you before God because the death of Christ has changed everything.
Foolish child

Weah96:
Advocates are known to tell lies on the behalf of the clients under their charge. What are you saying?

In fact, how can the advocate serve as the judge in the same trial?
