All your future sins are already forgiven, unless you commit the unpardonable one, in which case you don’t have the Holy Spirit living in you and therefore you lose the forgiveness for all your past, present and future sins that you once thought you had.I.e., you were wrong.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Rev 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Those who have to much pride to humble themselves
or to much pride in institutions don’t get the Holy Spirit.
There is no such thing as collective salvation .
You either have a personal relationship or you don’t.
He knocks but if you don’t answer it’s the same thing as saying I don’t need you...that is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit... pride gets in the way of many people ... some basically say my church will save me and in the process reject him and his teaching.
Read the letters to the seven churches in Revelation
.
Each on of those seven churches represents the different types of people in the churches . Each of those 7 churches also represent the history of Christianity , notice how he says he will take away their lamps ?
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Carnal man can not understand the scriptures, it’s foolishness to him. It’s the Holy Spirit that teaches you personally and cleans you up.
2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
All your future sins are already forgiven, unless you commit the unpardonable one, in which case you don’t have the Holy Spirit living in you and therefore you lose the forgiveness for all your past, present and future sins that you once thought you had.
I.e., you were wrong.
Well said, my friend.
