We have to Be perfect in order to make heaven

I am not saying what I believe. What I believe does not change God's word. The question I had was with regards to Eph 1:13-14. If you don't wanna answer, it's fine.

If you are sinless per your comment "In God's eyes, I am ABSOLUTELY SINLESS" are you always sinless in God's eyes in your life or what are ALL the parameters of this statement?

Anyone who is not absolutely sinless cannot make it into heaven. If you wanna be absolutely sinless like I am, lemme know, I'll tell ya the secret...

Who can lay charge of sin to me? none can.

Rom 8
33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

None can condemn me!

Luke you're thinking in earthly categories. OSAS vs. [fill in the blank]. Believers aren't always that cut and dry. For example, I believe that eternal security and free will are antimonies that are both realities. I can speak on a perspective from each position and be absolutely correct. The power of this paradox can open blind eyes... and blind those who say they can see.

Did Christ already pay the price for all his sins??? Did Christ already stand in for him as his complete propitiation? Was he (the old man) crucified with Christ? Is he reckoned dead to the Law of sin and death? Then yes, God's holiness and justice have been appeased by Christ. Judicially there is no debt owed for tresspasses.

Let's say the IRS sends me a letter saying that I owe $100,000,000,000,000 in taxes. They demand immediate payment or they will sentence me to prison for the rest of my life. And then Jesus walks into that court room, gets up on the stand for all to see, spreads His arms, and writes a check to be applied to my account with them for $100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000....

What do I owe? What would I ever owe? I will faithfully pay my taxes from this day forward. They will send me a refund check for an immeasurable amount. That goes into my bank account. I'll pay my taxes every year from that sum. If one year I fail to pay my taxes and they state that I owe...I have that money in the bank.
