It Doesn't Work Because Its Disconnected

The Hyper-grace teaching is not just a greater appreciation of the amazing grace of God. There is a disconnect happening here. The Christian is being side-tracked down a path that removes us from a walk with God that is based on relationship. In fact, for the Hyper-Grace believer, the important relationship becomes the one we have with ourselves. Christianity becomes: God did it and grace covers. Period. We are told that to confess our sins is to express unbelief, since they are already gone.

There is no need to walk with God by continually trusting him. When you sin, Hyper-grace says you shouldn't feel guilt because Jesus took your sins. The sin you just conceived with your lust (James 1:15) does not exist. Don't worry about it. This is not bible faith. It a psychic faith, in other words, one focused on your mind. You are not feeling guilty; you just think you are. You are disconnected from an actual walk with God.

 1 John describes our walk.
1John 1:7-9  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 cleanses 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.
The truth looks like this: We walk in the light ... if we sin ... we bring the sin into the light were he is ... we acknowledge our deed ... He cleanses us from all unrighteousness ... we keep walking in the light.

The guilt is gone. The relationship (faith) with Him is vital and living. We see there is no forgiveness without a nearness to him.
