1 John 1(10)Even though the Word emptied Himself to become man, the baby Jesus, the seed of the Father was in Him from the beginning of conception. Therefore, during His life even before He was baptized by the Spirit for ministry and miracles, He didn’t sin, though He was tempted by Satan, just as we are. And for us, God always makes a way of escape.
That same seed is in Christ’s followers who have been baptized with the Spirit. 1 John 3:says, 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
This is also why we must have that seed in us. Romans 8:9 "But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His."
If you still willfully sin (and don't be spiritually ignorant and say all sin is willful. There are also unknown (to us) sins that are not sins unto death in 1 John 5. Willful sins are rebellious against God - and without repentance will produce death.), do as Jesus said, "Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works." So what are the first works? Acts 2:38, I believe are those in a nutshell.
Yes, praise God! The last time I sinned unintentionally that became known to me later was in 1989 through 1990. I am free. And the last time I committed a willful sin was in 1977. And do you know what is the frosting on the cake? All my prayers are answered.
1 John 3:19-23
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. 20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.
1 John 1(10)
Here’s the one where you say that your last unintentional sin was 30 years ago. Do you still stand by this statement?
Since when is it against the rules of the boards to preach the doctrine of entire sanctification?
An entire denomination, the Nazarene Church, has this as a primary doctrine. You may as well outlaw all of the Nazarenes who come to these boards and prohibit them from speaking, because it is what they believe, and it is what they will speak (2 Corinthians 4:13). You will also be proving that the internet is not bound by the rules of the Constitution of the United States of America; because you would be effectively taking away freedom of speech from an entire denomination of Christians (and those of other denominations who believe as they do).
Yes, but I've made some whopper mistakes, but they were not intentional.
So are you saying you have no power over sin STILL? Are you still in the drawing from the Holy Spirit, but have not yet turned your whole life over to God. Are you still the boss?
What’s the difference between an unintentional sin and an unintentional whopper mistake in the eyes of God?

See the statement of purpose thread pinned to the top of the GT forum. The heretical doctrine of sinless perfectionism cannot be promoted here.
Because of this new rule against preaching the truth of entire sanctification in the Bible, it is very likely that I will be leaving these forums and going over to a different Christian forum/message board. I came over here because I had some trouble with them before; I called into question someone's salvation and was disciplined for it. But if they will receive me back I will be frequenting Bible forums from now on.
