Paul is not addressing “my” or any Christians: “past sins” (with committed beforehand or previously committed sins). Paul is contrasting before and after the cross sins. These previous sins are ones committed by forgiven sinners prior to the cross, which God did not have an atonement sacrifice for, so God “past over them”/ “leaving them unpunished”. After the cross these rebellious disobedient sins are “punished” (really disciplined since children should never be punished but need to be disciplined if at all possible). The shower of Christ’s blood is found on the path, so as long as we stay on the path we are constantly showered clean with Christ’s blood.Even in the NIV you quote it specifies "...passed over sins committed beforehand unpunished. Sin committed before hand refers to past sins; not present or future sins. You cannot add to the text what it does not state.
When one is saved and regenerated in the Spirit/born again, one confesses one sins up to that point and is forgiven as the blood of Jesus is propitiation for those sins. When you were saved, did you confess your future sins? I doubt it as you likely confessed things that you were already guilty of - not sins you will potentially commit in the future. If you believe that current sins not yet repented of, and future sins yet to be committed are automatically forgiven then by logical extension you can be antinomian in your belief. You can even believe that you can accept the mark of the beast in the future and the blood of Jesus will still serve as propitiation for that sin. Do you believe that?
