Does God forgive our sins when we ask forgiveness in repentance?

You still didn't answer the question, it really is pretty easy. Yes or No.

I choose maybe, sorta, or "I don't want to answer a question that you already know my answer to."

I guess I don't know. Apparently it is difficult to choose.

This thread has nothing to do with that tired, old, moth-eaten topic.

This thread is about the AOG Assistant General Superintendent claiming that his organization is decreasingly Pentecostal. So much so, that he is not sure that the AOG will even be a Pentecostal org within ten years.

His concerns, as reported to the AOG General Conference voting constituency, were that the AOG does not emphasize patently Pentecostal distinctives.

Those distinctives, in his mind, were water baptisms and Holy Spirit baptisms.

Note that the conference took IMMEDIATE action. That action involved discipleship that focused on these two distinctives.

Now, contrast that to the obvious disdain for water baptism and Holy Ghost baptism on the part of Daniel and Baron.

See the contrast?

The AOG is decreasingly Pentecostal and is alarmed.

Daniel and Baron aren't even in the same zip code as Pentecostal, and ask everyone else to join them in celebration.

Revealing.

What does it matter, PP, if the AoG is decreasingly Pentecostal? If the Spirit baptism is not for salvation, then why bother? Some folks are scared of speaking in tongues! and why be inconvenienced to get all wet, it's only just a sign of an inward happening. The fruit of the Spirit is the proof!

Let's all just stand here and admire this post.

Wouldja just look at it?

Initial forgiveness is at baptism. It involves a Spiritual circumcision in which the body of sins is totally removed, blotted out, washed away. After this initial remission any further forgiveness is upon confession and repentance with the blood washing away the new sins.

This was what i added to my last post.
