If you know by PRAYER through faith, evidence not seen and hoped for that when GOD has forgiven someone unconditionally and thus unconditionally restored trust, then we who are believers should without delay do likewise to such a person including our own brothers and sisters in Christ who have fallen but restred by GOD!.

Look carefully at my statement above. I am not saying just unconditionally trust, but "If you know by prayer " "GOD has forgiven someone unconditionally and thus unconditionally restored trust." And you know this by faith. No believer has any excuse whatsoever not to expedite this.

Yes, I know there have been ministers who have done terrible crimes and they are not restored immediately to office or maybe never, but it should not be for trust reasons ut more schooloing in weak areas of their lives. See they admit they blown it. That's known by all in a church. So I do not see the lack of trust issue. Look if we pray and ask GOD's will by faith whether such a person should be restored immediately or not what's the problem? He knows the intensions of all men. If we say hey we can't just restore such a person immediately to such an office and you know GOD desires such, who is on the thrown of your life? You or GOD? See, asking GOD's will in Jesus' name concerning anything in thanksgfiving, well you will never ever be lead astray! Never! Yes I know we make mistakes, but do not make that your excuse justification never to ask GOD's will in Jesus' name in everything you do! 70 x 70? YES!!!!!

Does this mean that if the governement arrests someone we should object to a brother's  or sister's incarceration? No! GOD raised that government. We dare not! Of course most government officials are unsaved anyway asking who is to cast the first stone especially when it comes to capitol punishment. Basically the blind lead the blind. But, attitude of believers towards a brother or sister restored? 70 x 70 forgiveness and trust. See, because such believers are restored, they are missionaries now in prison like David Berkowitz.

Are we to take sin lightly? God forbid! But, when GOD unconditionally forgives and trust someone restored, man even many elect say "Too easy!" His yoke is easy!

Hello everybody! I hope you are resting from your labors this fine labor day!

I wanted to give some examples as to what I am discussing here because you just do not unconditionally forgive and unconditionally trust unless you know GOD has done so. The traditional unconditional forgiveness has a condition on it. This is one where most believers understand unconditional forgiveness. It's where without prayer and someone comes up to you and apologizes and there is no guarantee that this person who is a believer has or will apologize to GOD. So what do we have? If I was that believer who was offended, I would not unconditionally trust ever either! However, if they say they have asked GOD's forgiveness, pray GOD's will about it in Jesus' name and with faith GOD has to answer because He promised HE would whether the forgiveness wass sincere or not. For the one who will ask GOD for forgiveness, tell them to let you know when they have. Then if they say they have asked GOD's forgiveness, pray GOD's will about it in Jesus' name and with faith GOD has to answer because He promised HE would whether the forgiveness wass sincere or not. See, most brothers and sisters skip this part and thus human effort and not in forgiveness is established. Don't skip this or you will not establish that needed unconditional trust.

Now for those examples I promised. Let's say  a sister in Jesus and I entrusted you with $6000.00 to be transferred from my office to my local bank. The bank never receives the money. She apologizes and asks for florgiveness. She even returns the money to me. Is that enough to establish unconditional trust with this sister? I hope not! So, what else does she, the fallen sister who needs restoration need to do? Can you say rededication her life to GOD? Sure you can? What else? Ask GOD if it is HIS will to trust this sister and was the prayer genuine in Jesus' name. By faith which only pleases GOD you will know that is if you are one of HIS sheep that hears his voice. Not audibly but by The Holy Spirit in all things. Believe me, GOD will let you know.

For this example and I have heard this exaple a lot we have a brother in Jesus have a sexual affair with my wife. I do not have a wife, but just for this example assume that I do. Now you think I am just going to let this guy watch my family's home after just asking me for forgiveness? No buddy! He's gotta ask GOD too nad then I need GOD's confirnation by prayer and faith that this brother is really restored by prayer and faith. No loose ends here is a must!

I hope some cobwebs have been removed somewhat regarding this situation on Unconditional Forgiveness = Unconditional Trust. This is really slowing churches and is why no revival or very little is occurring in America. Bros and sisters, you got to establish this restoration process or you are going no where fast.

As for the unsaved, I contende that only the limited unconditional forgiveness still be intact. Until such persons ask GOD to forgive their sins in Jesus' name believers cannot 100% unconditionally trust.

You may not know this, those of you who still have brothers and sisters who do not know what you know, that GOD has unconditionally forgiven and trust you because you expressed remorse to Him and to those you have offended. I have a surprise for you:

Matthew 5:11-12 

11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

 12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Now skeptics will say,

"See what Pastor Lane did? He deliberately left out Matthew 5:13!"

 Well, lets look at the context here

First, lets read Matthew 5:13:

 13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

You oh believer say that you are not perfect. So.......have you not lost your salt? No? Why not? I will tell you why not. It is because we have a salt that never looses its taste: JESUS CHRIST, who will never fail us. 

So now getting back to Matthew 5:11-12, blessed are you restored believers by GOD standards when hurling insults by other or so caledd nominal believers . Rejoice! Your reward is great in Heaven!

These days, there have been many pastors who have fallen from their vocation. It seems the automatic assumption is to keep such a person away completely from such a vocation again or implement some probationary period. However, neither do I take just a Pastor's  or minister's advice that they need to be restored to the office they presently preside over. That process has been done in one denomination and the same repeated offense is done over and over with too much frequency. Such a person probably never in the first place received Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Nevertheless, if you have a Pastor, preacher, bishop, deacon or any person in a church office who has lost their moral compass, but through remorse and rededication to GOD thus signifying unconditional forgiveness, unconditional trust lives again! But, this has to be made clear by others in the body of Jesus and somethimes such occurances will come immediately to other and the unconditional forgiveness and trust is born again.

Does this always happen when someone who has fallen from a Pastor's office is restored back ones unconditional forgiveness and unconditional trust? No. Sometimes GOD may direct such a restored person to another vocation for the glory of GOD's name and it is not a punishment, but something that works for the good for those who are in the body of Jesus Christ. If only beleivers would be sheep that hear the shepherds voice. Makes you wonder how many are really called out. Yes? Possibly those chosen are fewer than we think in the way we see  implemention of so called manmade  holiness and not hoiness or discipleship in grace.
