No where in the epistles of Paul do we find this.
Jesus said this to Israel and warned them in rejecting the Holy Spirit which was promised them in the new covenant they could not be fruitful and would not enter the kingdom on earth (Ezekiel 36:24-28 Matthew 12:33)
Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
This verse declares we have forgiveness for ALL sin, not as some say, only for sins we confess, and repent of.
This is a tribute to my Mom.

John was writing to the believing remnant of Israel, as can be seen upon examination of several verses, which have their best application only unto Israel.

The gospel of the kingdom was preached to Israel.....they were to repent because the kingdom on earth was at hand. It did not contain the cross....they had to believe in his name as Messiah, Son of God (John 20:31).
Our gospel was revealed to Paul and it most certainly is the redemption by his...
Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Does this verse say that Christ, after his resurrection, led the old testament saints into heaven?
The first thing to examine is, what does it mean to lead captivity captive...
By examining verses in the books written by Peter, it can be determined that his writing is to the believing remnant of Israel, not to the church, the body of Christ.
2 Peter 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things...
2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

James is written to the believing remnant of Israel, which can be seen by examining various passages. The following passages reflect that this book is referencing scripture pertaining to Israel, and that the book is being directed to the remnant.
James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the...
The heavenly city is not promised to the church, the body of Christ. The city is prepared for the Hebrews, the believing remnant of Israel.
Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not...
Hebrews 10:1 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.
The writer of Hebrews wanted the Hebrews to come to perfection (Hebrews 6:1)...
Galatians 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
3:9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
The promise was that through faith, the...
