John 3:16 doesn't say anything about "every person who claims..."
Simpletons in the US like to claim that how one lives is meaningless. Jesus states quite the opposite.
Originally posted by @eladarNo, I don’t think everyone who claims to have God’s Holy Spirit is telling the truth in the same way I don’t believe everyone who says they are a Christian is telling the truth.
So you believe that every person who claims to have the holy spirit tells the truth?
Based on your comments, you are duped. If you can't judge a spirit by its fruits then you do not follow Christ's teachings. You believe in false prophets.
I don’t believe in false prophets; in fact, I don’t believe in any prophets. I believe in the Bible.
As far as discernment goes, the influence that God’s Holy Spirit has in and on a believer’s life is tied to how much that believer minds the things of the Spirit through reading the Bible and prayer. We are still in the flesh and still in a sinful world and as long as that’s the case, there will always be a struggle between the Spirit and the flesh. Paul wrote on this quite a bit in Galatians.

Originally posted by @tom-wolseyFeel free to live in sin and say you love Jesus. It won't work out for you but you are free to believe as you wish.

Originally posted by @secondsonRajk is an extreme nut job that believes sin is OK. He is the other side of your coin. Both sides end up claiming living in sin is just fine.

Have you read any of his posts?
And you're wrong about me, knucklehead. Living in sin is NOT ok.

If you disagree with me then you disagree with the Bible and you follow a false prophet too.
You, sir, are not the Bible. Your interpretation leaves much to be desired, such as reality. Just another Bible worshipper ignoring what the Bible actually means.
