My question is why people are taught that all their past, present and future WILLFUL sins are under the blood. How many teach the power of the Spirit? They just teach a misleading teaching that we are under a different grace than we are actually under. One where God winks at sin. Wrong! Grace is the power of God not to sin - we are dead to sin. (I felt when that happened to me in 1977)

Maybe because absolutely never sinning ever again is not what is meant in Scripture by "willful sin."

All things must be understood in context.

The idea/claim that Christians are perfect in every way, and never make mistakes or mess up, has, unfortunately done some of the most serious damage to the Gospel.

The reason being, that everyone knows it's hypocritical to say that we never sin. Therefore, once a Christian suggests that, often no one wants to hear anything else they have to say.

Also important to remember is that for almost everyone saved by faith in Christ over the last 2,000 years, all our sins were "future."

BTW, I was saved in 1977! I was healed in the hospital by Jesus and was given my prayer language a day later. We began attending a local Pentecostal church and still have friends from there to this day.

I totally agree with you about the power of the Spirit. People talk about sin and works ad infinitum instead of living by the power of the Holy Spirit.

OrthodoxyUSA,

Okay, I am a bit surprised. I thought that someone who is Eastern Orthodox would claim someone who Eusebius named as an early bishop of Antioch who was associated with John and Polycarp.

Forgive me...
