I’m trying to stick closely to the discussion topic:

Are all future sins forgiven for the saved no matter what? Or only with repentance?

Or only with confession?

Your answer seems to vary.

We are given a new nature. That nature is redeemed, in spite of the sin that we commit.

When God saves someone, He saves them from ALL their sin. The record of sin that stands against them has been canceled.

God sees our whole lives at once so for Him there is no sin that is future sin. It’s all canceled because the price paid is enough to pay for it all.

YOU’RE the one who said sin was forgiven because of repentance, not me.

The Bible says that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.

Does *all* mean *all* or not?

Here are some question for YOU to answer for a change.

Do you understand what repentance and confession are and what the difference is?

Do you understand what the new birth is about? What being a new creature in Christ is about?

What being crucified in Christ is?

You have not yet addressed those points but keep going on about confession and forgiveness apparently without the recognition of the distinction that God makes of the new man, the spiritual man, and the old man, the flesh part of our nature.

Do you understand the new birth and what it entails? Have you been born again, being given a new nature that has manifest itself in a change of heart?
