For example, just one of your points, being washed 100% by His blood: yes objectively, but subjectively, probably most christians have unconfessed sins, and risk to suffer loss at the judgement seat of Christ. Yes, our old man has been crucified with Christ, but Paul also says, those who are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts. How many of us have crucified the flesh today in our experience? Did not the Lord admonish us to take up the cross daily? So many christians think everything is OK, even some will prophesy, expel demons and do works of power in His name, and they will be effective, yet the Lord sees them as workers of lawlessness. You need to balance your view. You oversimplify the "way to victory", it includes confessing all those things and dealing with them, Rev. 2&3 ring a bell?

Raptor you are prolly a lone voice of these truths. Not only here but most churches.
I remember one time I was speaking in a home meeting (after leaving the LC) about confessing our sins. I was merely supporting comments from a book we were reading together by Max Lucado. A sister, supported by her husband, immediately shut me down in front of everyone, saying Jesus had already forgiven all of our sins, so we never need to repent. She emphatically stated that our role now was only to worship God, nothing more. I was effectively black-listed as a heretic, and not invited back.
