Do you see it as foolish to believe what is written, that Christ tasted death for every man?

If we are already forgiven then is this what repentance is for? Repentance has an initial stage and continual process. Both are similar but have different purposes. Initial repentance involves the admitting of one's sins due to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and Word of God. This is within the process of salvation. As one believes, they repent, and then the acceptance of Christ.
Continual repentance has nothing to do with salvation. We are already forgiven and seen as righteous through the lens of Jesus. Continual repentance is basically a relational act to grow closure to God or to mend our relationship when tarnished by sin. The sin has still been paid in full but we still grieve the Holy Spirit. It is to protect us from evil as Satan and his forces look for these type of footholds. The areas of unrepented sins. With the desire to lead you astray and trap you in their snares. This can bring both physical and spiritual harm.
Hi. New here. IMO we are saved by grce alone through faith alone, meaning that when Christ died for our sin, He died for all of it... not just those in the past.
Also, repent means literally to “change your mind/heart.” It looks internally.
Repentance is something that all believers need to do, but that is in order to restore us into a close relationship/walk with the Lord.
Thx for considering my thoughts. Loved the reference to the judgment seat of Christ. We will receive rewards according to how we live in this life.

Those whose sins are paid for are saved, and because of that they will be given the Gift of believing on Christ. They will not ever be charged with sin, so they are given Faith to understand that.
Look up the Greek words for pistis and pisteuo. Very similar but also different.
Of course it means that. Since some people will die in their sins, hence God evidently remembers their sins upon them. Rev 18:5
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Thats people Christ didnt die for, because God doesnt charge sin upon them e already charged their sins to Christ. So that automatically informs us He didnt die for every invidual. God doesnt remeber the sins of them He doesnt impute sin Heb 8:12
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Those Christ died for, will not have sin laid to their charge. They saved, and will be given faith to believe.
Its a whole world of People that God doesnt charge with their sins 2 Cor 5:19
19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation
Its written 2 Tim 3:7
ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
He did taste death for every man He tasted death for, and consequently they will not have sin charged to them, so its impossible for any He tasted death for to die in their sins, that can never happen !
You know I have been looking through this thread and I have seen you continue to take wise council especially from psthuman. You believe only a select are chosen to be saved correct? I even saw you answer how a calvanist knows they are saved and you said it is a matter of faith, this is where you messed up because it is by faith we are saved and by faith we know we are saved but faith is a choice an act of free will do we trust in him or not do we let our doubt comsume us or not do we accept him or not all these things are the crossraod of choosing to believe or not.
I see you know scripture very well but don't seem to have a great understanding of it not to mention it is unwise to cherry pick verses without taking into account the entire chapter or even the entire bible itself anyone can cherry pick and post verses for their stance I can pick so many verses out to attempt to prove you wrong but then you woulsd the same thing back and forth back and forth abusing scripture to simply prove our stance.
Let me ask you this you want everyone to understand your point and listen to your view yes? but how much of an effort have you done to do the same for them? opposition only creates opposition someone has to be the first to put their guard down
The repenting part is also required. There is no "automatic" sin forgiveness and future sins are upon someone when they commit them. See this verse:
1Jn_1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
There is no "already forgiven" in the bible. We are only forgiven IF we repent.
1Jn_1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
How do you know this verse isn't applied to you? every man is right in his own mind correct? Post human is actually very insightful with scripture just because he doesn't accept your point of view is no reason to mock him with scripture.
The word of God is holy and sacred it is not a toy and npot to be used for your own devises I would be careful as to how you use it
do you mind if i use this quote in my signature?
i think it's pretty cool just as a contextless stand-alone

I know the A ,B ,C ,s of Calvinism.
Its like a package deal . 1 ) before you existed God chose for no reason given to ' elect ' you.
2) you are born .
3 ) You get zapped with a hindu enlightenment experience through no choice you made.
4 ) God preserves you till the end .
Whist this can be formalised by using the bible like a patchwork quilt , cherry picking tantalising proof texts with buzz words such as ' chosen , given , elect , predestined , before the foundation, draw ect , its not biblical, never has never will be with no understanding of the surrounding context.
