I go to work and deal with people who profess to be christians and commit adultrey and fornication saying that its okay because of this teaching. A man and woman dress with hats and shirts saying blood donar saved my life.And he puts his arms around her accationally. She says she has been in church all her life ,because her mom raised her in church. They have been reported to the supervisor because of action they have been doing and its sad that they pervert the gospel of Jesus by thier actions. We must pray for them

Jude puts it succinctly:

"Certain men have slipped in[to the congregation] who have long ago been appointed by the Scriptures to this judgment, ungodly men, turning the undeserved kindness of our God into an excuse for loose conduct and proving false to our only Owner and Lord, Jesus Christ." --Jude 4

Though you may be right in what you think those you mentioned have been committing sins, You are also right in suggesting to pray for them. Let God do the judging. Only past sins that I know can be forgiven but the present has to be confessed and the life to be corrected, future as is just about to happen cannot be considered sin yet therefore no pardon is needed. If they say they are already forgiven by knowing Jesus, then maybe they need to know that Jesus cannot forgive neither he can ask God to forgive. In Deuteronomy 24:16 Only the one who sins will die.
In Ezekiel 18:3-26 The righteousness of the righteous shall be credited to him and wickedness of the wicked shall be charged against him. He who sins shall die.
In Jeremiah 31:29 In those days people will no longer say, "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge. Instead, everyone will die for his own sin; whoever eats the sour grapes-his own teeth will be set on edge.
In this declaration, Jesus' death is even useless as ransom for the sins of men. It was cleared long before he was even born. This is very clear that Jesus propaganda was a deception by the religions.

John 3:16
Romans 5:8
Romans 10:8-13
1 John 1:9

There's many more but the whole of it is that if you accept Jesus Christ as Lord (surrender your desires, goals, and destiny to Gods purpose for you) and Savior (the only payment for sin that God will accept to make you holy or righteous, which is the only way you can live in heaven) and repent of all your sins (realizing that you have broken Gods laws and therefore fellowship with Him, confess your sins with apology, make a decision to turn from your sins, and ask God to help you to overcome the temptation of sin) then you are saved and you Salvation can not be taken away. If that were so then Jesus came for nothing. It would mean that people could get saved, sin, loose their Salvation and Jesus would have to come back and do it all over again should they turn from their sins and accept Him again. Jesus only had to do it one time and it's forever! However, having the forgiveness of sins does not negate the consequences of actions. If a Christian was to become an adulterer, they would still have to go through all the hardship of a failing marriage and terrible divorce (if it comes to that). Additionally, and as was posted, that person(s) would have to stand before God and explain to Him how they put a terrible blemish on their Christian walk when He called them to holiness and righteousness! I hope I don't land in those shoes!

God forgives us our sins because He came to earth in the flesh of Jesus solely to die in our stead. Yes, our bodies still die cause that is the punishment for sin, but the good news (Gospel) is that we can live forever with new spiritual bodies if we accept and believe that Jesus did that. You have to accept this redemption. People should not sin out of gratitude because of salvation, not to earn it cause no one is good enough to earn salvation in the eyes of a holy God. People who continue to sin willingly are not really saved and are making a mockery of Christ's crucifixion. That being said though, no one will be perfect until that day that Christ returns. Christians are being molded into the likeness of Christ. Not perfect yet, but being perfected. But to openly and willingly and gleefully sin is wrong and hypocritical.
Also, Christians live under the continual cleansing of Christ' blood.

Each one of the Gospels tell the entire story. It also says directly God will not be mocked .Those claiming salvation and unashamedly sinning may, we pray, wise up. Perhaps some conversation in that regard would be in order.Be prepared when you pray that something might be done for them.God may choose to use you! Are you ready?

Taking that type of attitude is showing no reverence or appreciation for all that Christ suffered for us. Hebrews 6:6 shows that what they are doing is like making Christ undergo the same sufferings again and again and exposing him to shame.

EDIT:
True, Christ died for our sins. We are imperfect, so none of us live a perfect Christian life. However, with all that Christ suffered we should do our very best to walk in his footsteps and certainly not take his sacrifice for granted, (Romans 2:4-6)

Psalm 103 "Bless the Lord,O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Who forgives all your iniquities who heals all your diseases. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. Well, just read all of Psalm 103. Also, 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. Colossians 1:14, "In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins." This is speaking of Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross to save mankind from sin. The only sin to send one to hell is the sin of rejecting Christ, who was given to us by our Father in Heaven. Jesus is the one who continually make intercession for us to the Father. Did you pray today? Jesus prayed for you.

God exists exterior of time, subsequently time-weighted phrases like "previous" and "destiny" have not have been given any meaning for God. From His vantage ingredient exterior of time, He sees the fullness of time, consistently, endlessly and concurrently. sure, He is familiar with the strategies on your existence that are "destiny" to you, because of the fact he's already seeing you making those judgements. they don't look to be "destiny" to Him, because He has no previous nor destiny. it may well be obvious that somebody only observing you making a style, the two from a vantage ingredient right here in linear time, or from God's vantage ingredient exterior of time, has no result on the liberty of that decision. subsequently loose will isn't affected in any way by using the certainty that God has talked approximately each and every loose will decision of each and every person because of the fact the commencing up of time.

The Bible does not use the words past, present and future sins. The word used is "justified."

Simply put, to justify is to declare righteous; to make one right with God. Justification is God declaring those who receive Christ to be righteous, based on Christ’s righteousness being imputed to the accounts of those who receive Christ. Though justification as a principle is found throughout Scripture, the main passage describing justification in relation to believers is Romans 3:21-26:

"But now God has shown us a different way of being right in his sight - not by obeying the law but by the way promised in the Scriptures long ago. We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done. For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins. For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us. God was being entirely fair and just when he did not punish those who sinned in former times. And he is entirely fair and just in this present time when he declares sinners to be right in his sight because they believe in Jesus."

We are justified, declared righteous, at the moment of our salvation. Justification does not make us righteous, but rather pronounces our righteousness. Our righteousness comes from placing our faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. His sacrifice covers our sin, allowing God to see us as perfect and unblemished. Because as believers we are in Christ, God sees Christ's own righteousness when He looks at us. This meets God's demands for perfection; thus, He declares us righteous--He justifies us.

I dont know where it is in the Bible...but God only forgives people when saved people ask for it. God says..."seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you. " if these people...only say..." oh it doesnt matter...im already forgiven" they do this in a mockingly way...because they are not trus Christians..and they are not seeking God..and they are not saved. God only forgives those who are saved.


God bless. =]
