QUESTION FOR REFLECTION
What is your level of alertness in the matter of spiritual deception? 
 
THE DOCTRINE OF REBOUND TEST
What does this doctrine of rebound teach us in light of the Creator-Creature Conflict?
 
How consistent is the doctrine of rebound with the thinking, the work, the reputation and the essence of God?
 
What does the bible have to say about the doctrine of rebound? 
 
CRITICAL QUESTION
 
Do you see any biblical connection between confessing your sins and the filling of the Spirit? 
 
Rebound and Keep Moving! Page 4
Sins were not forgiven at the Cross.  Only the penalty of sin is removed once and for all at the Cross.  Christ’s substitutionary Spiritual death accomplishes redemption, but not forgiveness. 
 
Isolation of Sin, Appendix A Page 27
There is no spirituality or spiritual life without rebound. 
 
Rebound Revisited Page 17
You can pray fervently for forgiveness of sins and you are not forgiven. God heeds no prayer offered in a state of carnality.

For He (God the Father) rescued us (believers in Christ) from the domain of darkness (when we were unbelievers), and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son//in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
 
1JO 2:1
My little children (believers in Christ), I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if (3) anyone sins (maybe you will and maybe you won’t, you have a choice), we have an Advocate (paraclete) with (God) the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous… 
 
1JO 2:2 
…and He Himself (the Lord Jesus Christ) is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours (as believers) only, but also for those of the whole world (unbelievers as well). 
 
1JO 2:12
I am writing to you, little children (believers in Christ), because your sins have been forgiven you for His name’s sake. 
 
LUK 11:9
So I (the Lord Jesus Christ) say to you, “(Keep on) Ask(ing), and it will be given to you; (keep on) seek(ing), and you will find; (keep on) knock(ing), and it will be opened to you.” 
 
LUK 11:10
“For everyone who (keeps on) ask(ing), receives; and he who (keeps on)  seek(ing), finds; and to him who (keeps on) knock(ing), it will be opened.”

2CO 7:9
I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful (by God), but that you were made sorrowful (by God) to the point of repentance (metanoia…a change of mind…a complete reversal of your position); for you were made sorrowful (by God) according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us.
