Sounds like a very charismatic and “legalistic” post.

Jesus was VERY SPECIFIC about the work that must be done to be saved. Are you suggesting we “stop sinning”?

Good luck with that! ;)

We will never stop sinning this side of Heaven. If we are not pursuing holiness and obedience we better test ourselves to see if we are in the faith because the evidence says otherwise.

Obedience is not legalism. Legalism is a display of outward religiosity and rules while having no inner transformation.

Beware of holding your righteousness up before men to be seen by them. Beware of setting different standards for others than for yourself. Beware of caring about outward religiosity while having a heart full of the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the boastful pride of life and worldliness. Beware of false teachers and wolves in sheep’s clothing.

I am not charismatic. That is funny.
