"The OSAS crowd goes a step further. Get saved first, then do whatever you want. "

Actually, you're exactly correct

Once The Holy Spirit comes in to live, you'd be surprised at whatever you want

A thirst and a hunger for God does not translate into sin

Anyone that believes they can sin without guilt. impunity and retribution ...

(going out on a limb here ...)

ISN'T born again ... ISN'T saved ...ISN'T going to heaven when they die.

(going out on a limb here ...)

ISN'T born again ... ISN'T saved ...ISN'T going to heaven when they die.

You are not going out on a limb.

You are standing on a Rock.

Born Again Christians don't believe in a neutered Holy Spirit that indwells believers.The Holy Spirit that indwells us is one with the Father and Son. The Holy Spirit not only comforts us, but also convicts us of our sins and by doing so helps us to change.

I don't think it's going out on a limb at all.

You're exactly right.

Anyone in Christ is a NEW creation. The old has gone, the new has come.

Those who think that anyone with the Spirit of God residing in them can flaunt their sin does not understand the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in someone's life.
