I have given a simple and clear teaching on who we are in the spirit before God on my website.Praise God it is translated also in german but the original teaching is in english for all to see and hear!This is a revelation which God shown me about who we are in Christ , and more...
I may or may not believe coming forward is a necessary condition for salvation. But, if I clearly taught elsewhere that repentance/belief alone was sufficient no one would think coming forward is necessary for salvation,or water baptism is necessary for salvation.

These were the churches in existance at that time.

Of course, there will be lukewarm churches and individual Christians in the end times too.

It does not matter whether it is from the four Gospels or Revelation. All are the Inspired Word of God. Jesus did not come to preach the Old Covenant. Everything He did was in preparation for the New Covenant.

Everything that Jesus taught in the Gospel accounts during His three years of MINISTRY before His crucifixion, is now binding on all those under the New Covenant.

"There are some in the Church, who not only do not do what is good, but even persecute it, and hate in others what they neglect to do themselves. The sin of these men is not that of infirmity or ignorance, but deliberate willful sin." — Pope St. Gregory the Great (AD 540-604)

Re:3:18: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

The loss of God, for the Laodiceans came through success. They began to trust in their individualism, in their personal success and not in God.

That is the sin of pride and with it follows spiritual sloth. Pride's opposite virtue is humility. Sloths opposite virtue is diligence.

quote:
1 John 2:16: For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world.

In the above scripture, St. John talks about three basic types of sin - The lust of the flesh (gluttony, lust, sloth), the lust of the eyes (greed), and the pride of life (pride, envy, anger). Overcoming these things should be our life's work.

Without repentance from pride and sloth, these sins like cancer grow, until God is relegated into meaninglessness. And the connection to Him is lost.

God will never forsake anyone. But that doesn't mean that we won't forsake Him.

We have been redeemed from sin. It is not God's fault if we choose to go back to sin.

Any time sin becomes more important that God, we have rejected God and chosen sin.

How can we tell if we have reached that point?

Easy peasy - if we are willing to repent of our sin and turn back to God, we're good.

But, if the sin is just too good to let go, then Taa-Daa, we have chosen sin over Christ.

You have forgotten we will always have a fallen nature in our mind and body, unless you are saying you are the only person on earth now who is sinless in your mind and body and don't sin!
If God doesn't judge you by your heart you are in serious trouble, because if you die in a sin which you forgot to confess according to your sin condemnation, and sin consiousness, you have earned hell with satan and all his demons even though you might have been saved for thirty years and forgot a sin or two!

You can know the point where you are at when you learn who you are in Christ not in who you are in the flesh and your outward performances and works of religious , or no religious!
Do you know that there is sins we do when we don't do something we should do and didn't, like give, or help someone, forgive someone or lay hands and pray for a person you hate and etc??

The Catholic Church has not forgotten, we have the Sacrament of Reconciliation. In the Act of Contrition prayer, it states:
quote:


O my God, I am heartily sorry for
having offended you, and I detest
all my sins, because of Your just
punishments, but most of all because
they offend You, my God, who are
all-good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of
Your grace, to sin no more and to
avoid the near occasion of sin.




If God doesn't judge you by your heart you are in serious trouble, because if you die in a sin which you forgot to confess according to your sin condemnation, and sin consiousness, you have earned hell with satan and all his demons even though you might have been saved for thirty years and forgot a sin or two!

You fail to understand the Sacrament because you have not been catechised about mortal and venial sin or catechised in the Catholic Church. Mortal sin has three requirements; knowledge that the thought, word or deed is a mortal sin, complete acknowledgement of the will, serious matter.

You can know the point where you are at when you learn who you are in Christ not in who you are in the flesh and your outward performances and works of religious , or no religious!
Do you know that there is sins we do when we don't do something we should do and didn't, like give, or help someone, forgive someone or lay hands and pray for a person you hate and etc??

Yes, of course. There are mortal sin of omission and comission.

And, that is the point. How do the protestantisms teach about the will of God if they are repulsed by the down-and-dirty examination of conscience with His counselors?

And, in particular the people who swallow the "once saved always saved" fallacy or versions of it.

Christ is warning them about their loss of God through their incorrect attribution to self of the gifts that God has given them. And, Christ is warning them about their spiritual sloth.

This parish has faith; they believe in God's grace; but they have nothing which shows increase to the Body of Chirst due to their spiritual sloth.

Please explain this to me sense you think there is big sins and little sins before God!

Jas:2:10: For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

The one point mention in this verse is any sin what soever even driving 56 in a 55 MPH zone and etc!
This verse is very clear showing all sins is guilty and filthy before God with not scale or wieght, any sin breaks the Kingdom of God rules as such!

Apparantly and unfortuneatly you must not either have read or have remembered my other posts on this topic.

I'll repost one more time.

Jesus said to Pilate, '... Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."

1 John 15:16

quote:
If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death (venial sin), he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death (mortal sin). There is a sin that leads to death. (mortal sin) I am not saying that he should pray about that.

The catechetical tradition also recalls that there are "sins that cry to heaven": the blood of Abel,139 the sin of the Sodomites,140 the cry of the people oppressed in Egypt,141 the cry of the foreigner, the widow, and the orphan,142 injustice to the wage earner.143

139 Cf. Gen 4:10.
140 Cf. Gen 18:20; 19:13.

And of course, if I am God and am incapable of sin, then any action contrary to good is sin.

Revelation 21:27 -
quote:
Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone ....


It's rather like saying, "She's only a 'little' pregnant."

However, for humans...who live in a relative and subjective state of understanding their drives and desires, there are lesser temptations and greater temptations, and those lesser and greaters - lead us either toward or away from God in greater or smaller steps (and these are always in a state of flux).

Amen. If we commit even the tiniest sin, we are a sinner. But as John clearly states, not all sin kills. Thank God for that.

"There are some in the Church, who not only do not do what is good, but even persecute it, and hate in others what they neglect to do themselves. The sin of these men is not that of infirmity or ignorance, but deliberate willful sin." — Pope St. Gregory the Great (AD 540-604)
