Notice the WATER is not a part of Salvation, exactly as its not a part of DAMNATION.

The wages of sin is still death. Grace is the power OVER sin...not God turning a blind eye to sin.Christians wont be judged in eternity for sin.
How do you know?
Because Jesus has already been judged on Earth for them all.
"Jesus is the ONE TIME..... ETERNAL.........Sacrifice for sin"
"God hath made JESUS.... to be SIN....for US"..
A.) "US" = all the born again.
Welcome to : Salvation
To whom much is given more is required. If we have been regenerated by the Spirit, how does that inform our obedience to the commands of Christ?
The wages of sin is still death.
You are not understanding what the gift is. It is NOT immunity from prosecution for sin. Being born of the Spirit doesn't change the law of God. The gift is a sample of grace that gives a person an idea of what to seek after and give themselves over to....the way of God in Christ. Even if a person begins in the Spirit there is no guarantee that a person will not become religious...as you have done... and continue in the futility of a carnal mind. We are all in a race. A sample of grace brings no guarantees with it. Paul was afraid of being a castaway even after all he had experienced. And that includes MUCH grace, far beyond the sample you are justifying yourself with. The fear of the Lord kept Paul on the narrow path. In your scheme, a person can throw away any responsibility for personal decisions based on a "saved" status that will one day have the light expose as darkness. Presumption is a sin of pride.""""The wages of sin is death, but the Gift of God is eternal life... "in Christ".
All the born again are "in Christ", so, all the born again have "eternal life".
Or as Jesus said....>>"ALL who believe in me (are born again) and i give unto THEM, eternal Life, and they shall never go to Hell (Perish)."
A.) "Never go to Hell" "never Perish"... "having PASSED from DEATH to LIFE"... NO Eternal JUDGEMENT against the Redeemed.
AA.) "Bema seat" yes, but eternal Judgement.... "Great White Throne Judgement".......= never.
Who goes there... ???
These.. Only.
John 3:36
The Born again, are "Made righteous", having received "the Gift of Righteousness" from God, based on this..
AAA.) Their "faith, is counted by God as (Christ's) Righteousness".
Therefore, having now the righteousness of God in Christ, the born again, will never faced eternal judgment for Sin, as Jesus has faced is and taken it upon Himself on their behalf, on The Cross... 2000 yrs ago
Welcome to : Salvation.
Its a "GIFT".
You are not understanding what the gift is. It is NOT immunity from prosecution for sin.
The born again have no sin.
If you have sin, you are not born again..
See, what you can't comprehend @Episkopos ..... is that the born again, exist.
1.) "In Christ"
2.) "one with God"
3.) "In the KOG".
See those 3?
There is NO SIN found there, and the born again are there., already.
So, if a person has sin, they are not "in Christ"... they are not "One with God", they are not born again, and do not exist in the KOG.
Lets try it again......
1.) There is no sin found "IN CHRIST":, and all the born again are "in Christ."
2.) There is no sin found In GOD, and all the born again are "one with GOD".
3.) THere is no sin found in the KOG...or Heaven.. and all the born again are born again into the KOG< and are "seated in Heavenly Places".
So, if a person "has sin".. then they are not "in Christ".. they are not "One with God", they are not in the KOG< and they are not "seated in heavenly places in Christ".
So the person who "has their sin", is not born again.
1 John 3:5
And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him is no sin.
