1 John 1:8 says you’re full of it! I’m done....

The Verses just before the one you quoted make it very clear that if you choose to sin, which you have confessed to on this thread, then you do not have fellowship with him. If you do not have fellowship with him, you are no longer born again, if you are no longer born again, you cannot claim the name of Christ until you repent.

I John 1:6-7
6. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Christ did not come to simply forgive you of your sins and leave you in your sins, he came to forgive you of your sins and give you the power over your sins.

Your understanding of what it means to be a Christian is flawed.

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

And no, I am not a Pentecostal, but I am a Born-Again Christian, a sinner, saved by Grace whom God has given forgiveness and liberty from my sin as explained by Paul in Chapter 8 of Romans.

Don't live in Chapter 7 of Romans, when you can live in Chapter 8.

Also, quit giving yourself an excuse for CHOOSING to sin, when you have the choice to NOT SIN.

So not only do you believe in a works based salvation—you also believe that you CAN LOSE YOUR SALVATION!

WOW! Amazing that a professed Born-Again “christian” can even think that, much less say it.

Face it, everybody sins...daily! You do well to quote Romans 7, because till the day Paul was executed he was the living embodiment of it as we all are. (Rom 7:15) I am never going to make excuses for sinning, I am deeply sorry for it because it wounds Christ (as you should be too when you sin daily). Flesh will sin.

What does 1 John 1:9 say? I confess daily because I’m not a boaster like you (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Again, you lie....1 John 1:8 calls you out and do I call you out. I am saved and Permanently SEALED with the Holy Spirit per John 6:29, Romans 10:9-10, and John 14:6. Nothing can take me from His Palm (Romans 8:38-39 & John 6:37)-—it’s a shame you believe otherwise really.

I will rest on God’s word, not yours or anybody else’s. Cheers!
