One of the major spiritual growth lessons for the believer is that of knowing the “acceptance” (Eph 1:6) obtained in the Lord Jesus, in spite of the presence of “the old man” (sinful nature). Denying the presence of this Adamic nature will stunt the instruction of Romans Seven, and contribute much to a miscomprehension of Galatians 5:17.
Scripture’s admonitions to the believer are not in reference to sin’s guilt (this is settled at regeneration), but sin’s dominion (and our liberation from it). When guilt is an issue, regardless the cause, the atoning authority of the Cross is unknowingly being challenged via ignorance of its full comprehension, which the Spirit eventually resolves for every believer, through the Word of God.
Our understanding of unessential doctrine will never affect the essential teaching of the redemption in Christ, along with all of the unchangeable doctrines concerning the godliness (2 Pet 1:3) which the we are ever learning (“glory to glory”) to understand and apply (all by the Spirit of course).
