The reasons for and against BACs being habitual sinners

[Samuels]

Here’s a list of reasons why BACs cannot help but be habitual sinners


Here’s a list of reasons why BACs must continue to be habitual sinners


Here’s a list of reasons why BACs do NOT have to be habitual sinners

“When you came to Christ … Christ performed a spiritual circumcision
-- the cutting away of your sinful nature” (Colossians 2:11)

“we should NO longer be slaves of sin.” (Romans 6:6)

“For he who has died (with Christ) has been FREED from sin.” (Romans 6:7)

“reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin” (Romans 6:11

“For sin shall NOT have dominion over you” (Romans 6:14)

“you WERE slaves of sin” (Romans 6:17, Romans 6:20)

“And having been set FREE from sin” (Romans 6:18, Romans 6:22)

“Christ Jesus has made me FREE from the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8:2)

“Christ made us right with God … and he FREED us from sin.” (1 Corinthians 1:30)

Since BACs …
● are new creations
● have the indwelling Holy Spirit
● have all of God’s Scriptures
● have been set FREE from the bondage of sin
… they have absolutely NO excuse for continuing to be habitual sinners!

Therefore, BACs are accountable to God for their words, deeds, actions, etc.

“… you are that one’s slaves whom you obey,
whether (slaves) of sin leading to (eternal) death,
OR (slaves) of obedience leading to righteousness?” (Romans 6:16)

I agree.

They have the Spirit, and they, through the Spirit will mortify ( put to death ) the deeds of the body ( Romans 8:12-14 ).

Therefore, BACs are accountable to God for their words, deeds, actions, etc.

Agreed.

Even though they are forgiven of all their trespasses ( Colossians 2:13 ), have eternal life ( John 3:16, John 3:36, John 5:24 ) and God is not willing that any of them perish ( Matthew 18:14, 2 Peter 3:9 ), they are to make their calling and election sure ( 2 Peter 1:10 ).

They are accountable to God to walk worthy of that calling, as the sons and daughters that they are...
Completely secure in the fact that He loves them, and nothing can separate them from that love ( Romans 8:32-39 ).
In fact, no one can take them out of His hand ( John 10:28-29 ).

Regardless, no man can judge them, as it is God who justifies.
No one can bring any charge against God's elect.

They will have no sins to answer for at the White Throne, because they have been cleansed from all their unrighteousnesses and have Christ's perfect righteousness imputed to them ( Romans 4:1-8, Romans 4:23-25 ).

Christ's precious blood cleansed them at the cross ( 1 Corinthians 6:11,Colossians 2:13-14, 2 Peter 1:9, 1 John 2:12 )...
Not when they confess them.
