The Winners Are Dr. John Ankerberg
And Dr. John Weldon!
for changing the grace of God into a "license
for immorality" (Jude 4) with the following statement:
Ankerberg and Weldon teach all of our future sins after salvation are already forgiven even before they are committed and without confession to God, repentance and/or forgiving others who sin against us. To contrast this with the truth, let's see what the Bible says:
"IF we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 Jn. 1:9).
"He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy" (Prov. 28:13).
"For IF you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins" (Matt. 6:14,15).
