Yes, I AM believing GOD, because it is HIM that tells me But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) I couldn't care less what you think by your eyes. Only what God thinks matters. Just as I showed you, and which you continue to ignore, NO ONE gets into heaven by their merit. The fact that you do demonstrates that you believe an accursed gospel and it cannot save you! What you call being "blessed to stop sinning" is a facade, a false front, it has nothing whatsoever to do with being saved. As I explained in the post before this one, we are given a new spirit nature that empowers us to no longer be a slave to sin but which seeks after righteous living that honors and glorifies God. We are NOT saved by our works, but by God's unmerited, undeserved, unworked for GRACE. And grace would not be grace if works becomes a part of the deal. How I pray that you understand this!
Never wrote nor meant that it is by our own works...it is a gift but that gift is accessible through silent prayer which you guys vilify. So naturally you feel like you cannot attain no more sin, because you cannot! You have ruined your chance to do that by vilifying the character and rediscovery by a most noble man. And my “accused” beliefs are as follows which not one of you guys can simply and directly refute in your own words. Fact!
