2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 is discussing unbelievers

But your post was countering the statement that "Sin is anything that seperates you from God" which was in response to "What is "Sin"?, and you make no distinction btwn believers and the lost,

Believers because they believe are in Christ, and thus follow Him and repent when convicted that they did not in some way. God also exhorts to continue in the confidence, and warns against departing from the faith, (Heb. 3:6,12,14; 10:26,38; Gal. 5:1-4) by which faith ye are saved, and works to bring them to repentance if need be, lest they be condemned with the world.(1Cor. 11:32)

Thanks be to God.

Jesus never told us to believe in Him. He told us to be “in Him.” That is what communion is all about.

He told us to believe in our Father that works through Him.

As He is One with His Father. His Father is in Him and He is in His Father. And if we are in Him, then His Father that is in Him is also in us. That is the secret to being filled with the Holy Spirit.
