Hmmn!, nice write-up. Are you trying to say that once you are forgiving, even if return into your sin without making any amendment you are still covered by the initial grace that forgive you?
Why is nobody answering this?
What does "faith without work is dead" means?

@JIGGAZ, It Means Once We Accept The Lord Jesus As Savior All Our Sins Both Now And In The Future Are Forgiven. Now, Do We Have D Need To Ask For Forgiveness In Our Daily Prayers If We Should Consider The Lord's Prayer?

Well written op, but we must confess and ask for the forgiveness of sin whenever we sin. Matthew 6 verse 9.

If you like you ask, but your asking for forgiveness isn't what will make God to forgive u. He forgives you because of what Christ did on the Cross..... When you sin, your conscience condemns you not God. Conscience came about after the fall of Adam in the garden of Eden. If asking for forgiveness makes you feel better, plz do but have it at the back of your mind that you are already forgiven in Christ Jesus.

If u feel u have sinned, confess it to God..... We confess our sins not to be forgiven but because we are already forgiven. Its all about Christ's finished work on the Cross!!

You want to tell me that UNBELIEVERS don't believe that Jesus died for their sins?

If you are cannot acknowledge your sin, you cannot be forgiven (Romans 3:23).

True repentance that comes with "godly sorrow" as Paul said, is what brings forgiveness!

Shouldn't you be worshipping the Old or New gods, the Drowned god or the Lord of Light or something?

Really. This gets confusing by the day. It sounds like a license to sin

Fair point. He's potrayed as apatheist. But the Maid would suit a brothel-keeper just fine. So it's the Seven for you man.

Please just stay clear off all my posts. Its very clear that i teach radical grace and you teach mixed grace ( grace + law ). So in dat essence, to avoid unnecessary argument stay clear off my posts cos am not nice when i get angry. I don't like arguing with people about the things am very sure of. So to avoid me being harsh to you, just keep off. thank you.

Op, I agree that forgiveness isn't a debit card, but at the same time, I think its wrong for you to encourage people not to confess their sins. The Bible in 1 John 1:9 says; if we confess our sin, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Even in teaching the disciples how to pray, Jesus asked for forgiveness; "forgive us our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us.
Forgiveness isn't like a debit card in any way, but saying people shouldn't confess their sins when they have sinned, especially by commission, it's very wrong. I don't think the scriptures you have quoted in anyway negates the practice of confession. What you're doing is encouraging people to go about sinning and not acknowledging their wrong doing, which with time will make them hardened and live perpetually in sin.

Listen to urself..Unbelievers believe..so why are they called 'unbelievers'..
Moreso it's not only in believing..Romans10,9-10 says until u believe with ur heart and with ur mouth confess it bfor u can be saved..and pls sin conscious messages Should be avoided..we live in an Era of grace?..but shall we continue in sin and say grace abound? NO, God forbid..
PS: God doesn't look at u to judge you.he looks at Jesus to.so the question is. Do u know christ?? Shalom
