Sola Scriptura.......scripture alone will teach us.
venial: denoting a sin that is not regarded as depriving the soul of divine grace.
Mortal: sin causing death to the soul; by cutting the soul off from divine grace .
Effective Prayer 1John 5:16-18
…16If anyone sees his brother committing a sin (not leading to death), he should ask God, who will give life to those who commit this kind of sin. There is a sin that( leads to death); I am not saying he should ask regarding that sin. 17All unrighteousness is sin, yet there is sin that( does not lead to death).
It would seem there is venial and mortal sin. 18We know that anyone born of God does not keep on sinning; So it would seem that making mistakes is one thing but , loving sin is another.
Cain and Abel Genesis 4:6-7
…6“Why are you angry,” said the LORD to Cain, “and why has your countenance fallen? 7If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; you are its object of desire, but you must master it.”
Struggling with Sin Romans 7:18-20
…18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do. 20And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.…
Eventual, those who do NOT love sin become victorious over the sin in their flesh by putting the flesh into submission to Christ.
James 5:16-17
16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail. 17Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.…
CONFESSION too aids in this putting into submission the flesh to Christ .
Confession is an examining of ones conscience , that, in doing, you acknowledge any fault you may have and can Confess it. This should be done before receiving the Body and Blood of Christ.
1 Corinthians 11
23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread, 24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you;a do this in remembrance of Me.” 25In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
27Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 29For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
Living by the Spirit Galatians 5:16-18
16So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to one another, so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.…
If an assembly of God applies these doctrines are they wrong?
