So once Mr Rogers is born-again, he has no further need of repantence for his future sins?
Is that correct?
Or is that once Mr Rogers is born-again, he is incapable of ever sinning again?
Which is it, Mr Rogers?
“Which is it, Mr Rogers?”
What it is, ebb tide, is that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God!
We do not repent of individual sins, but of a life in rebellion against God. When born again, we will struggle against sin - BECAUSE the HOLY SPIRIT in us causes us to grieve over our sins!
If the Holy Spirit was in you, you would know what Jesus said is true: “When, however, the Spirit comes, who reveals the truth about God, he will lead you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own authority, but he will speak of what he hears and will tell you of things to come. 14 He will give me glory, because he will take what I say and tell it to you.” - John 16
And you would understand what Paul wrote in Galatians (3):
“Tell me this one thing: did you receive God’s Spirit by doing what the Law requires or by hearing the gospel and believing it? 3 How can you be so foolish! You began by God’s Spirit; do you now want to finish by your own power?”
You would also understand what Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3:
14 As Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the desert, in the same way the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. 16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior.
18 Those who believe in the Son are not judged; but those who do not believe have already been judged, because they have not believed in God’s only Son.
19 This is how the judgment works: the light has come into the world, but people love the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil. 20 Those who do evil things hate the light and will not come to the light, because they do not want their evil deeds to be shown up. 21 But those who do what is true come to the light in order that the light may show that what they did was in obedience to God.”
To repeat for emphasis:
“18 Those who believe in the Son are not judged; but those who do not believe have already been judged, because they have not believed in God’s only Son.”
