But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. (Galatians 5:18—NIV)

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. (I John 1:7—NIV)

Look at the conditions!

"Who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit."

"If you are led by the Spirit."

"If we walk in the light."

What we are saying is as follows:

If we live according to our sinful nature the righteous requirements of the Law of Moses are not fulfilled in us.

If we are not led by the Spirit we are under the Law.

If we do not walk in the light as God is in the light the blood of Jesus Christ does not purify us from all sin.

How can the reader get anything else out of these three passages?

The righteous requirements of the Law of Moses are not fulfilled in us. This means we have gone back under condemnation.

We are under the Law of Moses.

We are not purified from sin.

Now I know Evangelical teachers will say that it is not possible for a Christian to go back under condemnation, to be under the authority of the Law of Moses, to be not purified from sin.

So I say, the Evangelical teachers are not following the Scripture. They simply, with their traditions and reasoning, have departed from the Scripture. They are adhering to the old-line Lutheran and Calvinistic teachings of predestination and "faith alone" and are not regarding what the New Testament actually states! Therefore the churches, and our nation as a result, are in moral chaos.

The Spirit of God is calling today for repentance on the part of the American Christians. But how can we repent when our doctrine tells us repentance is not critically necessary? It is not critically necessary because we are without condemnation, we are free from the Law of Moses, and we are purified from all our sin even though we are disobeying God all over the place.

Some Evangelical teachers will insist that even though the righteous requirements of the Law are not being ascribed to us, even though we have gone back under the Law of Moses, even though the blood of the Lamb is not purifying us from all sin, we still are saved and will go to Heaven when we die. More than that, we will have a beautiful mansion. More than that we will hear nothing negative at the Judgment Seat of Christ. More than that we will govern the nations with a rod of iron.

Now I ask you, are these not errors heaped on errors until there is nothing left but errors?

The Good News of the Kingdom is that we no longer are under the condemnation of the Law of Moses. We are without condemnation in that the righteous requirements of the Law have been assigned to us because of our belief in the Lord Jesus, in the efficacy of His atoning blood.

But we are told clearly that we have not just escaped Divine law. Rather we have gone from one law, the Law of Moses, to another law, the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.

To be continued.
