Maybe a little too bold for brother M. Luther?

“9.5 Thesis Statements
1. You are not forgiven because you confess each individual sin but rather by faith in Jesus (Acts 10:43). His blood alone brings forgiveness and was shed once therefore we are only forgiven once (Hebrews 9:22, 26) 1 John 1:9 was not written to say believers need to repeatedly get forgiven but rather about gnostics claiming to have never sinned (see verses 8 and 10 for context).
2. Repentance means to change your mind (metanoai in Greek) to believe in Jesus not to turn from sin (seeing as noone has yet quit sinning). We repent from dead works not sin (Hebrews 6:1-2) meaning works we do to try earn salvation, blessings, and favor. Overcoming sin is merely the byproduct of this.
3. Believers are dead to the law, (Romans 7:1-5) not under the law (Romans 6:14) not supervised by the law (Galatians 3:23-24) and free from the law (Romans 7:7). We do not need the ten commandments or any other of the 613 rules in the Bible. Our new identity, new nature, the Holy Spirit and Gods grace is enough to lead us to live holy lives.
Not being under law includes the sermon on the mount and some other teachings of Jesus pre cross since the New Testament started at Jesus death (Hebrews 9:17) not birth (Galatians 4:4).
4. Sanctification is not a process. Christ is both our justification and sanctification (1 Corinthians 1:30).
5. You are as righteous as Jesus is (2 Corinthians 5:21) because righteousness is a free gift (Romans 5:17) based on what Jesus did not what we do. Our spirit is the part of us that was made righteous and holy (1 John 4:17, Hebrews 10:10, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Hebrews 12:23). Our soul and body however are still a work in progress.
6. There is a counterfeit grace that says there is no ****, all are saved, its ok to sin and the Bible isn't fully Gods word. These are absolute lies. There is a **** (Rev. 20:14-15) only believers are saved (John 3:16-18, Romans 10:9-10, 13). Grace teaches us to say "no" not "yes" to sin (Titus 2:11-12) and the Bible is all God's holy word (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21).
7. You cannot sin away your salvation. If you could loose it every time you fell into sin Jesus would have to be crucified afresh to save you again (Hebrews 6:4-6). If you could sin it away it wouldn't be ETERNAL life.
8. God is not punishing or judging believers because Jesus took all our judgment on the cross (John 5:21, John 3:18). We will stand before a bema seat (in the original Greek) not a judgment seat. Gods "chastening" in the original Greek is "paideuo" meaning child training (Hebrews 12:6) and is not punishment. Jesus was already punished for us effectively.
9. Believers do not have a sin nature. We died to sin (in Greek a noun meaning nature not action... Romans 6:1-2). The reason we still feel temptations to sin and act on them sometimes is because we have a mind that still needs to be renewed (Romans 12:1-2). You can liken this to having a new computer that still needs updates.
9.5 This means believers don't need to die to self we died once with Christ (aorist tense in Greek meaning never repeated). Matthew 16:24-26 should be understood as what happened at salvation.”
