"So I accept Jesus, and then I can Do anything I want.?"

No because believing means more than intellectual assent. Satan and his demons "believe" in Jesus to this extent - and shudder. "Belief" for salvation includes repentance. You can't just believe IN Christ but you must believe Christ - what he said and what he commanded. In the first sermon Christ gives in all the first three Gospels his first command is "repent".

There is one minister who leads the “New Independent Fundamentalist Baptist “ movement (some say a cult) who pushes the doctrine that it just takes one little faith prayer, and that repentance is a work and not required. He also completely denies the power of the Holy Spirit to deliver people from destructive lifestyles- no hope of salvation for them, they are going straight to Hell. That minister is Stephen Anderson.

thinking that sins don’t matter is why so many evangelicals and Christians elected Billy J. Clinton....
