Thank you for your excellent comments. It can be quite trying to repeatedly explain how God sees us in Christ when the one you're conversing with insists upon being justified in their flesh. PRIDE is behind it and a wretched blindness to the truth:

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh? Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing? Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe? (Galatians 3:1-5)

It doesn't seem to matter how many times we have said we are NOT saying "Christians...have a license to sin without penalty, to commit lawlessness", they will still lie and say we are. That should be all the evidence we need to recognize the accursed gospel they preach and withstand it by the power of the WORD. Thank you again for standing up for the blessed gospel of the grace of God. May God grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.

It doesn’t seem to matter how many times we have said we are NOT saying “Christians...have a license to sin without penalty, to commit lawlessness”, they will still lie and say we are.

What’s the penalty if a “saved” Christian sins unrepentantly? You guys say once a person is “saved”, NOTHING will keep them out of heaven. Once saved, always saved, right? So, what’s the penalty for committing lawlessness?

How about a “saved” person who continues to do these types of things (v15)?

Rev 22: 14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Or these:

ADULTERY
EFFEMINATE
FORNICATION
HOMOSEXUALITY
UNCLEANNESS
LASCIVIOUSNESS
DRUNKENNESS
FORNICATION
COVETOUSNESS.
EMULATIONS
ENVY
HATRED
VARIANCE
WRATH
EXTORTION
HERESIES
REVELLINGS
SEDITIONS
STRIFE
THEFT
And the like…..

“WHAT IS TRUE REPENTANCE? According to the writings of the Apostle Paul, if anyone practices one or more of the following 23 sins, then they “will not inherit the kingdom of God” (i.e., go to heaven). This is because true repentance is more than telling God we are sorry for our sins. It also involves turning away from our sins, and beginning to walk in obedience to God. If you “repent,” but then continue to practice one or more of these sins, then you have not truly repented, according to Scripture.”

(I just came across this article and I liked this definition of true rependance, and of course there is the list of sins that can keep people out of heaven)

You and I both know that the bible clearly states that those who continue in these sins (being unrepentant), will not be in heaven. Claiming to have been saved and free from the penalty of eternal death, will not save them.

Believing that equates to A LICENSE TO SIN (No penalty).
