2) FRENCH ENCOUNTER

THERE IS A STYLE OF PREACHING THAT GIVES A WATERED DOWN VERSION OF THE GOSPEL. THE TEACHING IS CONCENTRATED ON GODS' GRACE WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS, EMPHASIZING IT'S OKAY TO SIN BECAUSE WE HAVE THE WORK OF THE CROSS. SOME PEOPLE CALL IT ONE OF THE WATERED DOWN GOSPELS. YES, A CHRISTIAN HAS THE BLOOD OF JESUS WHEN THEY FALL INTO SIN. B-U-T, THE GOSPELS MESSAGE IS NOT TO BE WITH AN EMPHASIS STATING "IT'S OKAY TO SIN." THE BIBLE STATES CLEARLY IN ROMANS 6:1-2 IT'S NOT OKAY TO CONTINUE IN SIN ONCE YOU BECOME A CHRISTIAN. IN THE AMPLIFIED VERSION OF THE BIBLE IT IS ALL VERY CLEAR. ROMANS 6: "SHALL WE CARRY ON SINNING?" AND THE NEXT VERSE IN THE KING JAMES VERSION SAYS "GOD FORBID." A CHRISTIAN ISN'T TO THINK IT'S OKAY TO SIN. IT'S LIKE TRAMPLING ON THE CROSS OF CHRIST. (HEB. 10:26-29) WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN JESUS WILL JUDGE US FOR OUR WORKS. (REV. 20:12-13 & 22:12) A CHRISTIANS' GOAL IS TO HAVE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF SINS ON JUDGMENT DAY.
