Yea I agree.
Plus where do people get this overall Biblical doctrine from. Either they got it from somewhere else, or they had to read the entire Bible first before they focussed on certain scriptures.
Which is actually good thing to do. What do wel live on, not bread alone but EVERY word that comes out of the mouth of God.
But many people dont do it, they just get it from somewhere or someone else without reading the entire Bible first.
So..what to do...read the entire Bible FIRST before you study it in depth. Its only 1319 pages, (well, my copy is) surely not too hard eh?

You want me to pull apart you analysis? you asked for it! LOL! 
(1) First of all you bring in a wrong assumption, that there are "real Christians" and I guess not real Christians -- Sorry, there are only Christians and non-Christians
(2) The verse says absolutely nothing about repenting or not repenting of the sinning.
(3) And actually, it does not anything about sinning "willfully" - sinning continuously and sinning willfully are not the same thing
(4) And the verse says nothing about the Spirit convicting of the sin (Now of course this might happen but that is not what the verse says!)
I have nothing against what you say - it is probably pretty true, but it is not a correct exegetical meaning of the verse.

I find your "story" here quite interesting. I agree very much with the approach used in this round table discussion. It seems like the goal of that meeting was to actually look at what Paul was saying in that one particular text (without outside biases allowed). That is exactly what I think is a key. However, the idea that this was intended to "allow Paul to change and evolve over the years"? Not sure what is meant by that? If you think Paul changed his mind about something (that is recorded in Scripture) you will find you are wrong! But you will find that his views matured and got deeper perhaps (maybe this is what is meant by "evolved"?)
However, I am not promoting or recommending The Society of Biblical Literature. I don't know much about them at all. I did look at the website a little, and found nothing about the need or importance of the new birth. It seems like an academic group primarily. If these men are discussing the Bible without the Spirit, they will not be able to interpret it properly. I don't know about this group, so I will just remain neutral.

your bias blinds you. and your attacks on Pentecostals who you disagree with show your unlearned in biblical doctrine. As Pentecostal and bible school grad, I know first hand of Systematic Theology. I humbly remind you that you did not explain what systematic Theology is, I did. A Pentecostal of over 35 years and still reaching into more educational Theologically. If you knew then you are a troll if you did not know as you stated you did not know; you have been enlightened by Pentecostal. Yes, you are wrong in your bet. The proof was given to you in my answer here. Now on with your meanless attacks.
