Romans 8:1 - Conditional condemnation?
Does Romans 8:1 have conditions?
Romans 8:1: "Therefore, (there is) now no condemnation (for) the (ones) IN CHRIST Jesus"
Conditions:
Paul wrote: "(there is) now no condemnation (for) the (ones) IN CHRIST" (Romans 8:1).
On which condition is there "no condemnation" (Romans 8:1)? On the condition of being among "the (ones) IN CHRIST" (Romans 8:1).
To be "IN CHRIST" would be conditional. Paul wrote, using the conditional particle "IF": "IF anyone (is) IN CHRIST" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Someone "IN CHRIST" can end up being TAKEN AWAY by the Father from being "IN CHRIST", as Christ said: "I am the grapevine, YOU (ARE) THE BRANCHES" (John 15:5), "My Father is the land-worker. Every BRANCH IN ME not bearing fruit — HE-TAKES IT AWAY" (John 15:1-2).
