Is there something wrong if a person feels sin conscious?

Is there something wrong if a person feels sin conscience?
Of course, something was wrong when Adam and Eve felt sin conscience immediately after they have fellen. But something is more terribly wrong if all of us in the world today can no longer feel any sin conscience now; believers are no exception too. Only angels or Satan can never feel any sin conscience. Yes, we know that it is terrible to feel sin conscience. Even Paul told us that he felt terrible about sin or the wretchedness of sins too.

• Rom 7:19-24 KJV  For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.  (20)  Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.  (21)  I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.  (22)  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:  (23)  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.  (24)  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
  (Did Paul say that he could never sin because he was  under grace? No, if he could never sin, he would never said "O wretched man that I am! (v24)", confess that he was still brought under the captivity of sin (v23), and admit ".. the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do (v19)". Hence, if Paul still sinned or confessed publicly about his existing weakness or sins in his wretched man, why can't a believer or a sinner confess his sins and admit that he has sinned too? If Paul did not think that he could insult the righteousness of God by admitting or confessing it, how can we think that we will insult God's righteousness by confessing our sins? If Paul was not ashamed to confess about his sinful deeds or wretchedness, why should we be afraid to confess our sins ???)

However, the question that bothers most radical grace preachers today is not the question whether sinners and wrongdoers can feel sin conscience; but the question whether believers and preachers can still feel sin conscience if they have committed adulteries, stolen funds from the churches, or preached false doctrine to prosper themselves .. 

Is there something wrong if a sinner cannot feel sin conscience?
I would think that there is something wrong too if a sinner or believer cannot feel any sin conscience too. If a sinner cannot fee any sin conscience to repent, how can he repent? or how can he see the need to repent? or how can he know that he still need to repent? Hence, the greatest heresy with the radical grace preaching is not because they preach grace radically; it is because they make sinners or believers think that feeling sin conscience is condemnation and from the Satan. No, I would think that something is wrong if all men or sinners cannot feel sin conscience any more.
I do not like to find fault, but if radical grace preaching is preached so radically that all men, including the believers and even God's elect, think that sin conscience is from the devil, something is wrong.
Yes, I know that we can generally classify sin conscience into two categories, and we know that sin conscience can lead to eternal condemnation if it does not lead us to God:

1. Sin conscience to offer sin sacrifice
2. Sin conscience to repent

However, I would think that both types of sin conscience above are from God because they lead people to God. One was given to the Jews who were under the law to offer blood sacrifice; the other to the New Testament believers (to both the Jews and Gentiles) who are under grace to repent or have received grace to repent. One was under the Old Testament which has passed away; the other is under God's provision under the New Testament:

1. Heb 10:1-2 KJV  For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.  (2)  For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
2. Heb 10:16-39 KJV  This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;  .. (22)  Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. (isn't this repentance or the baptism of repentance under the New covenant) .. (24)  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:  ..  (26)  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, ..

The Gentiles who seem to have received more grace without the law can now enjoy the forgiveness of God because of grace for sin conscience to repent and the baptism of repentance in the Lord under the New Covenant.

Is there something wrong if a believer cannot feel sin conscience to repent? 
Of course, today we have no more conscience of sins to offer sacrifice, but we, especially the sinners, still have conscience of sins to repent. If we take away the sin conscience to repent and tell the sinners or the believers to just think of grace or think of God's goodness without the sin conscience to repent, something is terribly wrong. We are taking away God's covenant for His laws to remain in our hearts or in God's sanctuary too.

• Mat 24:14-15 KJV  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.  (15)  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
• Dan 11:30-32 KJV  For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.  (31)  And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.  (32)  And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

Wrong interpretation of John's letters will never lead people to repentance
To the sinners, it is licence to sin or licence to continue to live under Adam's lawlessness and transgression of law; but to us, the believers, it is sinning wilfully by rejecting the truth of God or God's grace for sin conscience to repent.

• 1Jn 3:4 KJV  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
• 1Jn 3:4 LITV  Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

Telling the people (whether they are sinners or believers) that they can no longer sin or feel sin conscience is like telling them to deceive themselves and think that they are robots. It is a lie to think nothing about sin and lie that there is no more need for repentance and confession of sins. Of course, when John told us to confess our sins, he did not tell us to just confess it repeatedly, hypocritically, and radically, and do nothing. He told us to admit it, confess it, and repent.

• 1Jn 1:7-10 KJV  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  (8)  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  (9)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  (10)  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Of course, we don't just conclude that 1 John 1:9 is a letter written to the world or agnostic just because some crazy nuts or false prophets tell them to confess it like the hypocrites or like the parrots. I will tell them, Please think with your anointed brain, How can any part of John's letters or Paul's letters be written to the unbelievers or agnostic believers in the world. No, John's letters are written to the churches and God's people. He would never write to the unbelievers or the agnostic believers in the world because he knew that they would never listen to God or him. If you still want scriptural proof that it is written to God's people and not the world, just read the following Bible verses.

• 1Jn 2:1 KJV  My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

Of course, if we can find the envelop of the letter (which is unlikely), I would presume confidently that it should be addressed to all the children of God or the church of God too, instead of to the agnostic believers or a few groups of people. I don't think John would split the audience into a few groups and tell them who can confess sins and who cannot confess sins. However, it is sad to know that many radical grace preachers have used this same technique to split the words of God and convince us what we can do and what we cannot do too. They have convinced many what commandment they should keep and what they should not keep too. They have corrupted God's words by splitting God's words and deceive many that they could interpret the Bible better. They could have become false prophets. 


It is a lie to tell people that Jesus did not tell us to repent or to turn away from our sins
They will argue, "But Jesus would never preach or ask the sinners to be sin conscious. He would always heal them before they could even repent or confess their sins. We should preach like Jesus .."
I will tell them, If you want to preach like Jesus, you should read your Bible again; instead of turning some Bible verses into your own excuses or your own blindness from seeing the need to repent:

1. Yes, I agree that Jesus did not ask the adulterous woman to repent; but He did tell the woman to sin no more (Joh 8:11). It means to repent and turn from her sins. 
2. Yes,  Jesus did not tell us that the prodigal son repented, but He did tell us that the prodigal son metanoia (came to himself about his predicament and admitted that he had sinned Luk 15:17). It means the prodigal repented and turned from his sins.
3. Yes, Jesus did not tell us that He commanded Zacchaeus to repent. But He did preach repentance and call sinners to repent since day 1 (Mat 4:17). Obviously, Zacchaeus repented after Jesus had started preaching repentance; not before He preached it. Hence, Zacchaeus knew the command of Jesus to repent. In fact, Jesus reaffirmed his command to repent by saying to him: Luk 19:9-10 KJV  And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.  (10)  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luk 5:32 KJV  I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
4. Yes, Jesus did not tell the bed-ridden man to repent before He healed him, but Jesus did say to him later to sin no more, lest he would become worst than before: Joh 5:14 KJV  Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
5. Yes, Jesus did not tell the thief to repent and do something worthy of the fruit of repentance, but are you preaching to the sinners in the mental hospital or those who are stuck on the cross like the thief? If the majority of your audience are mental patients who are deep in guilt conscience or depression, yes, you may tell them to take a break before you can preach to them. However, if you are preaching to the sinners of the world who are no better than the sinners in Jesus time, you've got to preach the same truth to the people today. You have to preach like Jesus. Jesus told His disciples that they should not be bothered if the people did not accept them. Mar 6:11-12 KJV  And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.  (12)  And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
   Similarly, we should just dust off our feet without getting angry if people mocked at us and reject the repentance message or the gospel of Jesus Christ: However, if we accuse Jesus or His disciples for preaching too much repentance, something is wrong with the way we hear from Jesus.

Do you agree that Jesus had always preached repentance and told the people to repent and sin no more? If we agree with it, we should agree that the sinners who heard Him would be sin conscious too. Frankly, I don't know how Jesus could ask the people to sin no more if they were not sin conscious. In fact, I believe that the adulterous woman, Zacchaeus, and the prodigal son, were all very sin conscious. That's why they would repent. Please think, If we keep telling people that they are sinners; but that they should not have any sin conscience, do you think that they will still repent? I doubt so. I don't think we are preaching like Jesus if we tell the sinners to confess righteousness instead, before they know why they are called sinners or why they must repent. Yes, I know that we are eager to preach the gospel that is too good to be true and get all the sinners to believe in the Lord, but to get all the sinners to bypass the need of repentance is too ridiculous. It can never be the gospel of Jesus Christ.


Do we just preach the one thing we know or do the one thing we know ?
Many will argue, "We have preached the gospel of Jesus Christ. We can never be the false prophets even if we refuse to preach any repentance or turning away from sins. We preach the real doctrine. We preach Jesus. We may not preach the doctrine like the Pharisees or the theologians, but we preach like Jesus. We heal the sick, the blind, the poor, the depressed, and many who need Jesus. If you ask them what they need the most, they would tell us that it is not the doctrine of repentance or doctrine of Christ; it is the miracles and prosperity of Christ. They will say, 'We may not know many principles and laws, but one thing we do know: We were once blind but now we can see, once we were sick but now we are healed. Once we were poor, but now we are rich'.
Joh 9:25 KJV  He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
Hence, any pastors or theologians who oppose our gospel are like the Pharisees and the scribes. They are the enemies of God, who try to stop the gospel revolution and the work of Jesus."
I will tell them, Yes, we all know one thing. On that day, many preachers will say that they know one thing or many things. But do we preach one thing and tell people to do another thing? Jesus had prophesied that many who confessed His name or confessed that they were from God would preach one thing or many things to oppose God's will. Obviously the will of God for the sinners is to do and keep His laws and commandments. But they would preach many things to oppose Him subtly:

• Gen 2:16-17 KJV  And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:  (17)  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. .. Gen 3:4-5 KJV  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:  (5)  For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
• Mat 7:15-24 KJV  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  (16)  Ye shall know them by their fruits. .. (21)  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  (22)  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  (23)  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.  (24)  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
• Luk 6:46-48 KJV  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?  (47)  Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:  (48)  He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood (false doctrine) arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. (Hence, Jesus said clearly that He would not just want us to have right believing, right faith, right miracles, right preaching, or right confession only; he wants us to have right doing with His words too, because right doing would prove that we are His true disciples on the rock of salvation.)
• Mat 4:3-10 KJV  And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.  (4)  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.  (5)  Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,  (6)  And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.  (7)  Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.  (8)  Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;  (9)  And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.  (10)  Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (Notice how Satan tempted Jesus. Satan would never tell us to oppose God or God's words directly in the beginning. He would say, If you are the children of God or believers of Jesus Christ, you should do this or that without the laws or commandments of God .. But in the end, he would reveal himself as the Satan who would oppose God and God's laws. What shall we do? We shall tell him to shut up and get lost ..

2Pe 3:8-18 KJV  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  (9)  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  (10)  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. .... (14)  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.  (15)  And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;  (16)  As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.  (17)  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.  
We have just read that all men must come to repentance. Many will still ask, "But repentance of what?" I will say, Repentance of a true believer of God

• to turn from our sin, 
• to depart from our lawlessness, 
• to stop believing in the error of the lawless, and 
• to stop opposing God and His scriptures (this is something extra for the preachers and the prince of the lawless) - 2Pe 3:16-17 LITV  as also in all his epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the unlearned and unsettled pervert, as also they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.  (17)  Then beloved, you knowing beforehand, watch lest being led away by the error of the lawless you fall from your own steadfastness.
   

There is still sin conscience if a person has the conviction of sins
Of course, if a person has the conviction of sins, he has sin conscience or condemnation of sins too. But the question is not 'Can God convict the sinners of sins?'; but 'Can God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit convict us (all the believers) of sins?'
I do not like to find fault, but if radical grace doctrine is preached so radically that all men, including the believers and even God's elect, think that sin conscience is from the devil, something is wrong with their doctrine.
Yes, I know that sin conscience or conviction of sins is terrible and it would lead to unpleasant feeling, condemnation feeling, or bad feeling of being the accused. However, sin conscience or conviction of sins is not necessarily always the accusation of Satan. It could be God's judgement or the sharp rebuke by the Lord. When the radical grace preachers argue that the Holy Spirit can no longer convict sins even if a believer or a preacher has sinned, committed adulteries, lied, or cheated, their radical preaching against sin conscience has become a kind of blindness which could give temporary relief to the unrepentant sinners. I will tell them, If the Holy Spirit cannot convict you if you have committed adulteries or lied, who can convict you? No, no one else can correct you too. I don't think you would listen to God or Jesus Christ too. You would only listen to your own 'Jesus' or the 'psychological Jesus' who would still praise you, brainwash you, mesmerize you, have good opinion of you, and say good things of you even after you have sinned, committed adulteries, lied, and cheated.

• Mat 19:16-17 KJV  And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?  (17)  And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
• Mat 5:20-29 KJV  For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.  (21)  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:Mat ... (27) Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:  (28)  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.  (29)  And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Hence, Jesus did not say that we should be as righteous as the Pharisees, but He said we should be more righteous than the Pharisees who were hypocrites. In another words, 1. All the Jews must still repent even though they thought that they were as righteous as the Pharisees, 2. All of us, who are now in Christ should never follow the deceivableness of unrighteousness (2Th 2:10) that is in the Pharisees or hypocrites too.)
• Joh 8:7-11 KJV  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.  (8)  And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.  (9)  And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. ..
• Mat 7:22-23 KJV  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  (23)  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
• Act 2:37-38 KJV  Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?  (38)  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 
• Luk 16:25-31 KJV  But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.  .. (27)  Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:  (28)  For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. .. (30)  And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.  (31)  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
• Rev 3:14-19 KJV  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;  (15)  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.  (16)  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.  (17)  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:  (18)  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.  (19)  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
• Rev 22:13-14 KJV  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.  (14)  Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

These Bible verses show us one thing very clearly: ie. Jesus would never say these Bible verses to tell us to depart from God's laws. However, He would say it to convict all of us (including those who think that they are too righteous to confess sins) of our sins and our lawlessness !

• Act 8:20-24 KJV  But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.  (21)  Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.  (22)  Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.  (23)  For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.  (24)  Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

I will tell the radical grace preachers, If Jesus and His disciples can convict us of our sins and lawlessness, why can't the Holy Spirit convict the believers of sins too? If Jesus could convict the Pharisees by writing on the ground with His fingers and cause the Pharisees to leave one by one before Him (Joh 8:8-9), He can convict anyone, including the self-righteous believers, gnostic believers, agnostic believers, carnal believers, false believers, lying believers, or any kind of believers who think and argue that they can never sin or do not have any sin too.


If Jesus would convict sins, can the Holy Spirit convict sins too?
Hence, I don't think anyone can deny that Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit can convict sins. If Jesus could convict the Pharisees by writing on the ground with His fingers and cause the Pharisees to leave one by one before Him (Joh 8:8-9), He can convict anyone in the world ('kosmos'), including the self-righteous believers, gnostic believers, agnostic believers, carnal believers, false believers, lying believers, worldly believers, or any kind of believers who think and argue that they can never be the sinners of the world and, therefore, they can never sin or do not have any sin to be convicted by the Holy Spirit.
They will still argue, "But the Bible tell us clearly that the Holy Spirit cannot convict us of sins; He can only convict the world of sins. He won't ask us to confess our sins; He would ask the world to confess their sins"

• Joh 16:8-12 KJV  And when he is come, he will reprove the world ('Kosmos') of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:  (9)  Of sin, because they believe not on me;  (10)  Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;  (11)  Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.  (12)  I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
• 1Jn 1:8-10 KJV  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  (9)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  (10)  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

I will tell them, Can you please read the Bible verses again? The Bible said, The Holy Spirit will reprove the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement. If the Holy Spirit can reprove the world, of course, He can reprove anyone in the world.
Please don't interpret your own will into the Bible. Do you know that He can reprove you even if you think that you are the most favored believer or the greatest saint, bishop, pope, pastor, or prophet? Yes, you could be the most anointed leader of your churches too, but if you are still in the world, you are not too anointed to be reproved by God, by His words, or by the Holy Spirit. If no one is too anointed to be reproved by God, no one can say that he can never sin or confess his sins too. I don't think John or Paul could say that either.
Even Peter was reproved by Paul when he did not do rightly:Gal 2:14 KJV  But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Obviously, when John and Paul said, "If we confess our sins" in 1 John 1:9 or "If we sin willfully" in Heb 10:26, they did not want people to think that they are too anointed to sin, to confess their sins, or to repent. If they thought that believers can never sin or confess their sins, they would never have said, "If we confess our sin" or "if we sin willfully"; instead they would just say, "If you rebels sin" or "If you sin the unpardonable sin". But why did they say, "If we sin.." to give us the impression that they could sin too? Of course, they did not want to give us the false impression that they could never sin; instead they would always tell the believers and themselves to admit that they could sin and they need to confess sins, past, present, and future. That's why they could say that if they sinned and confessed their sins (without repeating the confession like the hypocrites or the parrots), God could still forgive their sins. But if they are too proud to confess it, they knew that they would not be forgiven. Obviously, they knew the teaching of Jesus Christ and they would never try to preach it differently to hide the sin conscience of the people:

• 1Ti 1:14-16 KJV  And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.  (15)  This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.  (16)  Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. (Why did Paul always remind us or himself that we are sinners? Wouldn't it remind us of sin conscience? Yes, definitely but it should remind us of more grace from God too. That's why Paul would also say, Rom 5:19-21 KJV  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.  (20)  Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:  (21)  That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. As we think and talk more about sin, grace abound even more. As we are more sin conscience, grace would be even more obvious in our lives. I will tell them, Yes, Paul did say that by Christ obedience, we are made righteous, but he did not say that by one man's obedience, we are made righteous to disobey, rebel, sin, live lawlessly (or think lawlessly), and reject all the laws of God.
  
• Luk 13:2-3 KJV  And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?  (3)  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (If we think that we have no sins, Jesus would remind us that we are not too righteous to repent.  
• Mat 5:20-21 KJV  For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.  (21)  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:)
• Luk 11:2-4 KJV  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.  (3)  Give us day by day our daily bread.  (4)  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. (How many of us think that the prayer of the Lord has become obsolete? Do you think so because the preachers said so or because Jesus told you so in His words? Very likely you think so because some preachers said so. You won't find Jesus telling us in the Bible that His prayer has become obsolete.    

All the Bible verses above shows us clearly that Jesus had taught His disciples, including John and Paul, to confess sins and admit sins daily to receive the grace of God and the forgiveness of sins. If we think that we are no longer sinners or that we can no longer sin, we've probably unknowingly rejected the need for grace too. It is ridiculous to preach that sinners or believers can never sin when Jesus, John, Paul, and all the disciples of Jesus had preached the warning of sins, the need of repentance, and confession of sins. I am polite if I say that those who preach against the gospel of Jesus Christ are ridiculous. If I am frank, I would tell them to shut up and stay in 'one corner':

• Mat 4:10 KJV  Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
• Mar 8:32-38 KJV  And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.  (33)  But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.  (34)  And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.  (35)  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.  (36)  For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?  (37)  Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?  (38)  Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

I will ask the 'anointed' preachers, Are you ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ because it preaches against sins or sin conscience to the sinners or to the world? I don't think you should preach something else to the sinners to replace the cross, dying to sins, or keeping God's commandments, even if you think that the world has become a better world. No, the gospel of Jesus Christ is still the same for this adulterous and sinful generation. The world would still need to hear the message of repentance and depart from their lawlessness and sins.
I will ask them, Have you heard of 'anointed' preachers who are convicted of their adulteries, abuse of young children, stealing, or misappropriation of funds? I have heard of different convictions of many preachers from both the mainstream churches and independent churches too. Please think, If the anointed preachers can be convicted of their crimes or lawlessness by the judges of the world or the sinners, isn't it ridiculous to preach that the anointed preachers can never be convicted by God? Of course, it is ridiculous to find that the sinners of the world can judge but our God cannot judge ??? This again would show us that the theology of most radical grace preachers (who preach that God can never convict the believers of sins) is absurd. It can never be right believing. The Corinthians might be confessing or professing believers, but Paul would still speak strongly against them or convict them even if he needed to openly speak out against their 'shame' or sins:

• 1Co 6:5-11 KJV  I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?  (6)  But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.  (7)  Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?  (8)  Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.  (9)  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,  (10)  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.  (11)  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Don't be made used of by the lawless one
Of course, we know that 1 John 1:9 tells us that we can confess sin because, if we confess our sins, He will forgive us. However, I am sure that 1 John 1:9 does not say how we should confess our sins. Of course, we can confess sins with our mouth or with our action. But I can't tell people how many times they have to confess sins (once a day or 5000 times a day?), when to confess sins (in the morning or evening?), where to confess sins (in our church, home, or massage parlour?), or what to say (Our heavenly Father, hallowed be thy name.. or Jesus, see how I beat my chest now ..). But, should any preachers give us the false impression that most churches are telling us to confess like the parrots or hypocrites, they are not God's preachers. They could be sent by the prince of the world to corrupt the teaching of repentance and falsely accuse the churches so that he (the prince of the world) could preach a better 'repentance'. however, we know that it is a 'repentance' which would only tell us to 'metanoia', change our mind, and depart from the laws of God (to embrace his own lawless philosophy). He would then mock at all those who preach repentance and God's commandments. He would be loved by many who are tired of keeping God's laws and commandments.

• Rev 12:17 KJV  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
• Rev 14:12 KJV  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
• 2Pe 3:15-17 LITV  And think of the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation, as also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him;  (16)  as also in all his epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the unlearned and unsettled pervert, as also they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.  (17)  Then beloved, you knowing beforehand, watch lest being led away by the error of the lawless you fall from your own steadfastness.
• 2Th 2:5-15 LITV  Do you not remember that I told you these things, I yet being with you?  (6)  And now you know the thing holding back, for him to be revealed in his time.  (7)  For the mystery of lawlessness already is working, only he is holding back now, until it comes out of the midst.  (8)  And then "the Lawless One" will be revealed, "whom" "the Lord" "will consume" "by the spirit of His mouth," and will bring to nought by the brightness of His presence. Isa. 11:4  (9)  His coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and miraculous signs and lying wonders,  (10)  and in all deceit of unrighteousness in those being lost, because they did not receive the love of the truth in order for them to be saved.  (11)  And because of this, God will send to them a working of error, for them to believe the lie,  (12)  that all may be judged, those not believing the truth, but who have delighted in unrighteousness.  (13)  But we ought to thank God always concerning you, brothers, beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth,  (14)  to which He called you through our gospel, to obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.  (15)  So, then, brothers, stand firm and strongly hold the teachings you were taught, whether by word or by our letter. (How to obtain the glory of the Lord? By not departing from God's laws and commandments, like the ones who lost their garment again after they had found it: Gen 3:7 KJV  And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. Mat 22:11-12 KJV  And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:  (12)  And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.)

Under the New Covenant, our sanctified conscience would still tell us to keep God's commandments
I will tell him, I am not bother if you whispered repetitive confession of sins or shouted it at the top of your voice to impress others. However, if you stop people from confessing sins when they ought to, you could have problem confessing your sins to God with true repentance too. You could have tried to confess it like the parrots but you knew that there was no repentance. Hence, you had deliberately tried to find the alternative to confessing it. Instead of confessing your sins and repenting in obedience to His words in 1 John 1:9, you would just want to change your mind from thinking of your sins or confession of sins to thinking of no more sins. Of course, if you are a sinner and you chose to think no more of sins, you could argue that you have no more need to confess sins. However, your argument or the preaching of your thinking would never lead any sinner or yourselves to true repentance. It would only lead yourselves to continue to live in denial of your sin conscience. There is no repentance even if you may argue that you have confessed the name of Jesus Christ repetitively.
We cannot live in denial of our sin problem or sin conscience because of the sins in the flesh. If we still struggle with our lust, pride, and greed, it does not mean that feeling of sins, sin conscience, or guilt consciousness about our sins in the flesh is wrong. It does not mean that those who feel numb about their lust, pride, and greed are right either.

• 1Ti 4:1-2 KJV  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;  (2)  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Paul told us that he still had the struggle of sins in the flesh, of infirmities, and of the law of sins. Many radical grace preachers complained that the struggle and confession of sins is too tiring for them, but Paul did not complain like them. He did not just give up the law of God and follow their lawless philosophies instead.   

• Rom 7:23-25 KJV  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.  (24)  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?  (25)  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. -----

Yes, we all need the grace of God; but if grace is preached to take away the covenant of grace to repent or to live with God's laws in our hearts, it is no longer the grace of God. It is just a 'lawless covenant' which is useless. It is likened to a blank contract or a blank piece of paper without any term, condition, or law. It may be accompanied by many kinds of fantastic promises, but it can never deliver.
Hence, we may cancel a contract and replace it with another contract, but we can never cancel the contract and replace it with another blank contract or blank piece of paper. The same should apply for God's covenants too. God's covenant can never be replaced by a blank covenant or a 'blank piece of cheque' or promissory note. But Satan would give people the promise of a 'blank cheque' which is too good to be true. But we know that the 'blank cheque' would be bounced even if he could tell us with many promises that it can never be 'bounced, condemned, or penalized' because it is issued by the 'bank of grace, water-marked by the blood, and guaranteed with his mark of lawlessness':

• Gen 3:4-5 KJV  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:  (5)  For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
• Heb 10:26-31 KJV  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,  (27)  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.  (28)  He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:  (29)  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?  (30)  For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.  (31)  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (I will talk about Heb 10:26 again in more detailed later. But can we twist it and argue that this warning is not for God's people? No, it says very clearly that God will judge His people; not other people. When He used the comparison of a sorer punishment, He confirmed again that He was comparing and warning two of His people - one who despised Moses' law under the Old Covenant, and another who will dishonour the Spirit of grace under the New Covenant. Please think, who were able to despised Moses' law? Of course, nobody except the Jews or God's people who were given the law? Similarly, who can dishonour the Spirit of grace? Of course, no one, except God's people who have been given the grace of God too?

Will Satan tempt those who are under God's covenant or out of God's covenant?
Many will argue, "Yes, we know that Satan had tempted Adam and Eve when there was no covenant between God and man. But we are now living under the New Covenant. Satan can never tempt us any more.." I will tell them, You have just read Heb 10:26. Can you please read the Bible verses above Heb 10:26 too? The whole chapter of Heb 10 shows us clearly that Satan will come again to tempt us after we have received the New Covenant. And he will give us the 'promissory note' from his bank of lawlessness again. He will abuse the name of the Son of God, the blood of the covenant, and the grace of God.

• Heb 10:16-22 KJV  This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; .. (22) Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water...

They will still argue, "But Satan can never tempt us who are under the New Covenant. Satan can only tempt those who are sinners. Without God's protection, they are more vulnerable to his temptation. If you want to preach warning of dooms and gloom to the people, you should not preach it to God's people; you should preach it to the sinners of the world. Why? We are God's people. We are positive people. We are not like the sinners who live in fears or who enjoy living in fears ..."
I will tell them, If you are not God's people under His covenant, why should Satan tempt you? If you belong to Satan, he would not need to tempt you. He would only tempt those who are no longer under him or under his control. The Bible has clearly shown us that Satan would never preach another Jesus to the world; he would preach another Jesus only to the churches who are under God's covenant. Of course, Satan would never need to tempt the sinners or those who are under his 'covenant of lawlessness':

• 2Co 11:3-4 KJV  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.  (4)  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
• Act 20:28-31 KJV  Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.  (29)  For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.  (30)  Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.  (31)  Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

Please use common sense, Why did Paul say, "I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled .." or "For I know this .. I ceased not to warn everyone day and night with tears", it shows us that he feared or believed that there could be great possibility that the churches could fall into the trap of the serpent. It would be meaningless for Paul to say that "he feared and warned with tears" when he would think that everyone or all the believers are forever saved, deeply loved, greatly blessed, and highly favored irregardless of what they hear or do.
I will tell them, If God did not give us the warning about Satan's temptation, common sense would still tell us that believers should be warned of Satan's temptation and the possibility of being fallen or being tricked by him. Please think, If Satan had tempted Adam and Eve and caused them to fall, would he need to tempt them again? No. Would he still need to tempt all the sinners to sin again? No. He could just take a break, lie comfortably on his recliner chair, smoke cigars, smile at us, and watch effortlessly on how men would all perish in their sins. But, instead, why did the Bible tell us that he was shouting (preaching) angrily with his lies and false doctrine. Why should he worked so hard (with his mouth) when he should be enjoying himself (on his recliner chair)?

• Rev 12:15-17 KJV  And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.  (16)  And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.  (17)  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Who are the remnant who keep the commandments of God? Of course, they are not the believers who keep God's commandments hypocritically with their mouths (by confessing only). Neither are they who can boast that they can keep all God's commandments perfectly. They are simply those who would still obey, do, and teach God's commandments in the end time when all other believers have fallen, believed the doctrine of the lawless, departed from God's laws, and given up on the commandments of God. The Bible tells us that, in spite of great persecution, temptation, or false doctrine which flowed out from the mouth of the great serpent and the false prophets, God's people keep focusing on the words of God without wavering:

• Rev 14:11-12 KJV  And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.  (12)  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

However, Satan is losing patience. He could not 'sleep and eat'. He is angry because of this remnant of believers who still keep the commandments of God.and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Hence, we may not warn the sinners of Satan's wroth, deception, doctrine of lawlessness, or temptation; but we would certainly warn the believers who still keep God's commandments. We warn the believers because the believers should have the commandments of God and they could be tempted or attacked by Satan before they could make war with him in the end time. Of course, Satan is not stupid to tempt the believers if he thinks that the believers could never fall. Hence, I find that those who preach that all the believers should only rest, relax, and ignore all God's warning and none can fall are actually lying to the believers or trying to blind the believers. They are not helping the believers; but instead helping the dragon to deceive the believers and cause them to fall because of blindness. Their ultimate goal and objective is to 'annihilate' the remnant of believers who would still keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Yes, it could be just a battle of the mind (as preached by the radical grace preachers). It would not cause any bloodshed, but it may be deadlier than any battle in all our church history. It would cause precious lives to go to hell if the churches still refuse to wake up: 

• Rev 13:4-18 KJV  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?  (5)  And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.  (6)  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.  (7)  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.  (8)  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world... (11)  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.  ...  (15)  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.  (16)  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:  (17)  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.  (18)  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
