The doctrine of Christians of the OSAS type pertaining to sin is that all their sins are forgiven by the blood of Christ and they will site passages to prove that their doctrine is correct. In a nutshell they can sin and be assured that these sins will be forgiven and none of these sins will endanger their entry into the Kingdom of God.
These passages which they quote to support this doctrine are mostly taken out of context, or not read properly and in full ie to get the whole true meaning.
First Jesus came for what and He died for what ? Jesus came to preach and to send out preachers to tell as many as would hear the following.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:19-20 KJV)
Jesus and his disciples preached repentance, righteousness and good works as critical prerequisites for entry into the Kingdom of God
Why did Jesus die ?
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
(Romans 3:25 KJV)
Jesus died for the PAST sins of mankind from Adam to the end of mans era. PAST means that a Christian comes to Christ and repents, is baptised, and declares his faith. All past sins are forgiven and the man is now a new creature in Christ.
Are future sins forgiven? Two passages answer this clearly
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. (Hebrews 6:4-8 KJV)
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, (Hebrews 10:26 KJV)
Paul states in no uncertain terms that future sins [ie after accepting Christ, after receiving the Holy Spirit. after tasting the heavenly gift etc ] is up to the good graces of God. Christ will judge.Paul suggests that some of these Christians are fit to be rejected and burned
These are not isolated statements about sin and the professed Christian.
