False.
Ephesians 1:13, 2:6
Keep believing and you will be saved...on the day of judgement when your name is found in the book of life.
Do something that invalidates your belief, like murder someone, and you won't be saved.
Confusion reigns within you.
This is not saying we are to work FOR our salvation. It means that we put effort into our walk with Christ.
I agree.
You don't put effort into something that you automatically do.
I agree, so if we do something a Christian would never automatically do, it means we don't have salvation.
What does it matter, if you're guaranteed not to sin no matter what?
What guarantee?
Belief can cease in a second.
Sorry, but that verse is NOT saying that Christians do not sin. It's not even talking about Christians.
Whoever it is talking about, is reborn of God's seed, so cannot bring forth the fruit of the devil.
Who is reborn of God's seed that is not a Christian?
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Either it's impossible for a Christian to sin, or it's not. Which is it?
It is impossible for those reborn of God's seed to bring forth the fruit of the devil.
Manifest from whom you are born.
Yes.
Because He's perfect.
What did He have that all the other sons of God don't have?
Don't sell yourself short.
We can try to. But because of our sin nature, because of our flesh, we will still sometimes sin. Hence why Paul tells us to PUT EFFORT into our salvation.
Did Jesus have a "sin nature"?
Why would any other son of God have a sin nature?
You don't get strong just by signing up for a gym membership. You have to actually go work out, eat properly, not eat junk food, and you have to KEEP doing that, or you will lose the progress you've made.
KEEP doing it then !
It is if it's guaranteed that nothing bad will happen to them after.
If they don't "KEEP" doing what is necessary, they have no guarantee.
There's no point in telling someone to be holy if they're already holy. No?
Why does refreshed exhortation seem needless to you?
It isn't to me, or Paul(?).
It is written..."But exhort one another
daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin." (Heb 3:13)
Look up the word "exhort" in the biblegateway.com site for how often the word is used by Paul
An "invisibility doctrine" says it does.
Christ's blood paid for our sins, past, present, and future.
There are no future sins for those who have been reborn of God's seed.
The "future sins" abominable doctrine is the most sin accommodating of false doctrine that I know of.
When God looks at our account, He sees Christ, not a dead man wallowing in his sins.
Agreed, which necessitates no sin be present, doesn't it?
Unmerited favor.
We did NOTHING to earn eternal life. But God freely offered it to us, by sending His Son to die on the cross, for him to be buried, and then rise again on the third day.
Thanks be to God for doing something we couldn't.
Now we can live like His suffering and death means something.
Every post you make where you claim to no longer sin is my evidence that you are lying, because Scripture says otherwise.
Scripture like...
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as you Father which is in heaven is perfect.” (Matt 5:48)

"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others." (Eph 2:1-3)
"Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you." (Phil 3:15)

That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." (2 Tim 3:16-17)
"But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul." (Heb 10:39)
"Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." (Titus 1:15-16)

"If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body." (James 3:2)
"But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." (1 Peter 1:15-16)

Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:” (1 Peter 2:21-22)
"Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;" (1 Peter 4:1)
"According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." (2 Peter 1:3-4)
“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:" (2 Peter 1:10)
"Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless." (2 Peter 3:14)
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
“Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” (1 John 3:4-9)
“We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.” (1 John 5:18)
?
Show me just one scripture that says we can not walk in the light, or free from sin.
I'll bet on my twenty-one against your one.
