Yes..for the rest of our lives.I would just add we are responding to a calling.
CorrectForgiveness is for the past and present - provided that there is repentance. How can one repent of sins in the future, yet to be committed? As far as I know, there is no scripture that states that future sins are automatically forgiven.
Who does that?And the same is true of all who believe in their own righteous efforts instead of the righteous obedience of Christ.

Yeah ok .umm so believe you or believe Jesus who said repentance for the forgiveness of sin will be preached."repentance" is NOT a pre-requisite for the "forgiveness of sin" committed by believers after salvation. 1 John 1
Absolute utter rubbishRE: POST #2O: QUESTION: What is your NASB Scriptural support by copy + paste verses for:
1. Go to Confession,
2. tell your sins to the priest,
3. be truly sorry for them, and
4. do the assigned penance.
While it is true that those who are genuinely saved will indeed persevere and remain faithful, it does not necessarily follow that all who are genuinely saved will indeed persevere. Some were never saved to begin with, but others were indeed saved but did not endure in the faith to fight the good fight and finish the race set before us. The scriptures refer to those who apostatized and fell away from the faith. Apostasy only applies to believers as it is impossible for unbelievers to apostatize from the faith since they never belonged to or were a part of the faith to begin with. Thus those of saving faith will not all remain faithful.As has been pointed out many times before, anyone who has received the gift of saving faith necessarily will become faithful. They are inseparable.
There are no two ways around that, and there's no great mystery about the linkage. Faith saves, and people who have faith will demonstrate it.
But you cannot enhance your salvation or improve your chances by going around collecting chits from God for performing good deeds! You have already been saved, which is why you'd feel the desire follow the Lord and do good.
Doesn't that statement contradict itself?While it is true that those who are genuinely saved will indeed persevere and remain faithful, it does not necessarily follow that all who are genuinely saved will indeed persevere.

This is Old Testament understanding. The "Now Testament" is about how we receive the reality of grace and mercy. Forgiveness is not something we ask for it is the gospel of "the cross", as we know very well,And the same is true of all who believe in their own righteous efforts instead of the righteous obedience of Christ.

It is how we deal with our conviction of our sin as it relates to judgement of our actions weather good or evilRESPONSE TO POST#209:
"...those of "saving faith" will not all remain "faithful".
Q1: "Faithful" to what? FOR BELIEVERS: "apostasy", "falling away", "growing cold", "not standing firm until the end of the Tribulation" (and the like) do NOT result in a loss of "SPIRITUAL POSITION", permanent loss of the SALVATION EVENT ...described in John 3 and explained in Ephesians 2...a change of Man's spirit.
These are ALL "forgiveable sins". 1 John 1
In the SANCTIFICATION PROCESS, these conditions are indications that believers are outside the "will of God" and are 'UN-fruitful". John 15
Believers continue to sin after salvation!
The book of James as well as the rest of the epistles are written to believers only, otherwise referred to as the church, saints, brethren etc. In writing to the saints James stated that we are justified by works and not by faith alone and faith without works is dead. In other words, a Christian's inner faith is made manifest and proved to be genuine by one's outward works. James cannot be referring to unbelievers as they possess no saving faith to begin with and their works done in the flesh cannot save them.Doesn't that statement contradict itself?
I think it's evident that the epistle of James, which is famous for explaining this, is saying that those who only claim or seem to have Faith but do not live a changed life never really had a genuine Faith.
Faithful to what? Answer: faithful to Jesus and obedience to his commands (Heb 5:9). Everyone including Christians sin according to 1 John 1. Jesus forgives when we sin occasionally. In particular, notice that 1 Jn 1:7 states that Jesus' cleansing blood only applies to those who are "walking in the light." Those Christians who are walking in the light are those believers whose lifestyles are characterized by obedient and holy lives but when they do sin on occasion, Jesus' blood cleanses. This is in contrast to believers who practice sin; engage in habitual sin - for such as those there is no assurance that Jesus' blood cleanses as his blood is only reserved for those who walk in the light (v.7). Believers who practice sin are instead characterized as walking in darkness, lie and do not even have fellowship with God (v.6).It is how we deal with our conviction of our sin as it relates to judgement of our actions weather good or evil
Mt 6:15 But if you do not forgive men their offenses, neither will your Father forgive your offenses
Yes, furthermore consider that if future sins are automatically forgiven then Christians should have no problem in the future if they choose to take the mark of the beast. Obviously, that presumption of automatic forgiveness of future sin is contrary to the stern warning of Rev 14:9-11.Correct
Repentance is just not a popular topic.Yes, furthermore consider that if future sins are automatically forgiven then Christians should have no problem in the future if they choose to take the mark of the beast.

Sinning accidently is a myth people tell themselves to appease thier conscience. Because it's mostly a particular sin they keep on so called accidentally doing ...and therein is that lie exposed.Faithful to what? Answer: faithful to Jesus and obedience to his commands (Heb 5:9).

So what people actually mean is sinning“ ignorantly..“
such missing of the mark in ignorance is covered by Grace.but if they know it's sin then they are not ignorant of it anymore.
So for example to others - If a 18 month old draws on the wall with crayon... Its wrong but you give Grace. If your 10yr old did the same you would NOT afford them the same Grace.!
And therein lays the big issue.
We have churches full of 20 yr olds.... Still Scribbling on the walls! abusing grace
