09/12/16 "STANDING AND STATE" IS ANOTHER "SALVATION"

09/12/16 "STANDING AND STATE" IS ANOTHER "SALVATION"
(because it ain't Biblical salvation)

Don't be led astray by the errors found in the STANDING AND STATE doctrine. Supposedly our STANDING is how God sees us, or it is referred to as, our "position with God, while our STATE is our actual condition.

Those who do not believe that God actually saves His people from their sins (or from most sin, or from the power of sin, or from the pollution of sin), teach that God "sees" the saved person in a particular condition, even though that person is not in that condition. They teach that God "sees us through Christ," and therefore does not see our sins or our sin. Rather than teaching that Christ actually saves us from sin they teach that Christ blinds the Father to our sin or deceives the Father by making our sins invisible.

These false teachers are right when they say that believing this doctrine will make people feel better about themselves. Unhappily, it is a lie that makes people more comfortable in their sin and sins. People do not like what God says, therefore they change it to fit their own sinful viewpoint. When we remove the power of God to save us from sin, we enslave ourselves to sin.

Sinning religion is a self fulfilling prophecy. If you believe that you cannot live without sinning, you will sin. If you do not believe that God sees the sins in your life, you do not turn from sin to God. The end result is not eternal life, but eternal separation, because the wages of sin is death.
