Not as the Catholic church teaches it.
Born again Christians confess sin but aren't obligated to prove how sorry to God they are for it, or to perform religious acts assigned by a religious leader to qualify for the forgiveness that God the Father freely bestows on His children..
if OSAS, and no need for confession is your claim....then what keeps you from living whatever lifestyle that you choose.
Our desire to please God and a revulsion of sin. Apparently, something beyond the grasp of most Catholics (otherwise the question would not even be asked) who seem to think that the only reason to not live as they please is because they somehow think that keeps them from going to hell.
You are saved...PERIOD...Christ did it.......you do something wrong, oh well, all has been taken care of..
EXACTLY right.
According to Colossians, the record of debt that stood against us to condemn us has been canceled, done away with. It doesn't exist any more.
I don't see where you feel that you are responsible for anything that you do...there always seems to be the excuse that all was forgiven even before you did it???? I truly don't understand that concept.
Clearly.......
When one comes before God for Salvation the ONLY thing they can bring with them is their sin......religious ‘acts’ nullify the Gospel Message as “something more”, or “other than”, or in “addition to”.
Self-reliance and self-confidence via rituals and religious acts cannot live at the foot of the cross......
Perhaps the poster to whom you wrote could tell us what sin would take God by surprise AFTER a Christian is born from above in this life? ... Any catholic able to do that? ... crickets
That was my point, you have no responsibility for anything that you do, Christ has already taken care of that so no matter what lifestyle you live, all is well............I don't think so.
