You still didn't answer the question, it really is pretty easy. Yes or No.
You're the one who went to an Apostolic Bible college, not me. You must know that there is a difference between the initial forgiveness of sins and any further remission of sins once a believer has become a part of the body of Christ. 1 John 1:7 is written to Christians in all their developmental stages not to sinners.

If they're already in the family of God anyway, they don't need anyone to defend them.
I have a tendency to want to defend those who are viciously attacked by others...it isn't nice and doesn't feel good. When a person is living for God in all the truth they know...the last thing they need is a self-righteous Christian telling them they are going to hell. It just isn't right@!
Still does not address the question, and the reason you won't is clear.
Hmmmm, I thought I was very clear. Crystal clear even. What don't you understand?

One thing that greatly concerns me is that the Bible tells us that people will be decieved. Not just any people, but the elect...not just the elect, but the very elect. Deception is an issue of the mind and I try to rule myself in a way that I will not allow my mind nor my heart (which is deceitfuly wicked above all things), set my direction.

You refuse to say that God doesn't forgive sins at repentance yet you refuse to say he does. He either does or doesn't. You made a comment that I went to Bible College, that is when the light bulb came on for me, sitting in Segraves class on Romans.
I am out for the night later.

Threads like this one discourage me a because I now see the truth of the gospel as plain as day. I see people who are logical and educated but allow tradition and their experience to dictate what scripture says.
Since I have become a one-stepper I have lost many friends and my family feels like I have backslide. I have not been the one on the offensive but I have been told not to discuss what I believe with those that have always been the closest in my life. However, I can't deny what it plainly spelled out all throughout scripture.
This whole idea that the AOG is moving away from traditional Pentecostalism isn't such a bad thing but just like our movement there are those who are so caught up in tradition and heritage that they can't stand to see the past fade away.
