God does not remember our past sins, but if we continue to move into the future as willful sinners, I think that is a separate matter.

But I cannot speak for God.

I will say that I once knew a pharmacist who stole cocaine (on a regular basis) from the hospital where he worked. Some of this cocaine he used himself, and some he traded with prostitutes for some very strange sexual activity.

He was convinced that he was guaranteed a spot in heaven because as a child he had said, "I believe in Jesus". After that? He felt he could do anything he wanted. Didn't matter. He could not really commit a sin in the eyes of the Lord, because he was a Christian.

Personally, I thought the guy was whacked.

I know you think that, but that is not what God says in the New Covenant of grace. The law, which we are no longer under, makes sense to us. That is why we hold on to it. But grace is hard for us to understand. We need God to help us and he will if we ask him.

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

I cannot speak for God.

Let Him speak for himself in his declaration of the New Covenant of grace in His blood.

their sins and iniquities will I remember no more Heb 8:12,10:17.
