Yes, but the word "sanctified" is a completed action, without the word "being" in front of it.
Saved, according to Greek, means "delivered". A child of God is delivered many times, as he sojourns here in this world, by his good works.
Your failure to acknowledge this, tends to make the scriptures to teach eternal salvation (deliverance) is accomplished by ones good works.
The false doctrine that Paul is teaching to turn away from is the doctrine that you are teaching.
Every time that you commit a sin, you are walking away from God's fellowship, until you repent, because God will not fellowship sin, even turning his back on his only begotten Son, during the three hours of darkness, on the cross, as he bore the sins of those that God gave him
Well since most Christians reject the false gospel of Five Point Calvinism, it would seem that that Calvinism is what Paul called "another gospel" in Galatians (among others). He warned the Galatians to reject all false gospels.
The quickest way to determine that Calvinism is a false gospel is to focus on the heresy of "Limited Atonement". Since the Bible is crystal clear that Christ died for the sins of the whole world, and that God wants all humanity to be saved, Limited Atonement is in fact a slap in the faces of God and Christ.
All of the commandments you have given can deliver the child of God as he sojourns here in this world, but they are not the cause of his eternal deliverance. salvation=deliverance, according to Greek translation.
If you are following most christians, you are following false doctrines. (Zeph 3:11-13). Only the remnant are teaching the doctrine of Christ.
The doctrine of Christ says that He only died for those that God gave him (John 6:39, & John 10:29).
Christ's doctrine harmonizes with all of the scriptures, the doctrine that you teach has contradicting scriptures.
You are believing that all of the salvation (deliverance) scriptures are referencing eternal deliverance, which will teach you that eternal salvation is accomplished by good works. You try to explain away that believing, accepting, repenting, confessing, and such, are not works, but any action required by mankind to gain eternal deliverance is a work.
Your last sentence describes why you are blinded to see the truth within the scriptures.
Not every sin committed is intentional. Not every sin has a plot to it devised by yourself to do harm to anyone. It is true, every sin separates ourselves from God, but not God from us.
He knows we will Repent and place those under His shed Blood. He knows we were deceived into committing sins. He knows they are not premeditated. He knows we really don't desire to sin, especially ones that catch us by surprise and we react wrong. God became flesh and knows the nature of temptation and deception.
I am also not promoting we sin at all.
I am promoting that God's Grace is not a License to Sin. It is however, Grace given we most definitely do not deserve.
I did not add a word. I translated the word as used in the greek. Ongoing. Present tense//
You need to study greek and language skills
Not in the text it is not. If it was it would be in the perfect tense/ Its not..
God's own Son was not an apostate. Not even close. The Spirit of God will only tolerate arrogance and rebellion for so long. Don't put God to a foolish test.
1 John 1:9
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
If it is required to receive something, it is a work.
You must understand that the born again child of God receives many salvations (deliverances) that are achieved, as they sojourn here in this world, by their good works.
Eternal deliverance for all of those that God gave to his Son, was a one time event, accomplished on the cross, by God's sovereign grace, without the help of mankind.
Your first sentence is very true, however, by our fleshly nature, we do wilfully sin, at times, when the devil enticess us.
Although the sins of all of those that God gave to Jesus were forgiven, by his death on the cross, and were promised to inherit eternal life, without the loss of any, (John 6:39), God still commands them, when they commit sins, to confess their sins and repent in order to live a good and peaceful life here on earth.
Those, referred to in 1 John 1:9, were already born again, because the natural man, (1 Cor 2:14), before he has been quickened to the new spiritual life (Eph 2:1) cannot confess to breaking one of God's spiritual laws, that he cannot discern, and thinks them to be foolishness.
