Just Curious

I read this on another forum I am part of. I would be interested in reading your responses to it. What do you think of what they have to say? Valid? or No?

"THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT CONVICT BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS OF THEIR SINS! This is a Lie of the devil! The Holy Spirit ALWAYS Glorifies Jesus Christ and HIS FINISHED WORK on the Cross. Jesus has already been punished for Every Man's Every Sin on the Cross! God does NOT punish sins twice! If you have given your life to Jesus Christ for Him to use for HIS PLAN for you, then YOU ARE COMPLETELY FORGIVEN OF ALL YOUR SINS; your past, your present, and your future sins, now and forevermore. “I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds, I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE. (Hebrews 8:12) Jesus does not want you asking for forgiveness for sins that He has already paid for and 'Remembers No More'. Jesus wants you to be constantly aware of His Free Gift of HIS Righteousness that He Died for You to Have. “If by one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man (Adam), MUCH MORE will those who RECEIVE THE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE AND THE FREE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS Reign in Life through the One Man Jesus Christ!” (Romans 5:17)

The Holy Spirit convicts Born-again Believers of their RIGHTEOUSNESS IN JESUS CHRIST, now and forevermore, because of what Jesus has done for us, and FINISHED, on the Cross! The Holy Spirit ALWAYS GLORIFIES JESUS AND HIS FINISHED WORK ON THE CROSS. Convicting a Born-again Believer of sin that he is already forgiven of, sin that Jesus remembers no more, is NOT the Holy Spirit's New Ministry under the New Covenant of Grace! (John 16:7-11) The Holy Spirit does NOT CONVICT A PARDONED MAN! Born-again Believers, RECEIVE THIS GRACE. Receive Jesus Christ's UnEarned and UnDeserved Favor Toward YOU. You are the Righteousness of God In Christ! (2 Corinthians 5:21) Jesus has Taken Away ALL your sins and GIVEN you HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS! Jesus is Our Sacrifice. This is the Jesus Christ's NON-CONVICTING Good News, the Gospel of Grace! Hallelujah!"

Like I said, I am interested in your reactoin to the above. What role does conviction and repentance play in the life of a believer?
