How can a creature worship his Creator, without acknowledging his sinfulness?
How else does a saved soul express reverance towards his God and thankfulness for the grace that has saved his unworthy and undeserving
soul, but by willfully turning from serving darkness to obeying God's holy light?
Faith (prayerful reverence and thankful trust) in God and repentance (confession of sins) are the true marks of worshiping God, in Spirit and in Truth.

I find that MAD simply does not acknowledge the classic Reformation interp principle of using the Letters to make final determination of what the historic accounts meant. MAD seems to spend its time in the gospels and Acts trying to find different stages of an evolving gospel, instead of taking the plain meaning of passages like Gal 1-2 and Jude on the faith once delivered to the believers.

Why wouldn't it be important to understand what was happening in Acts when Paul wrote Gal 1-2?
It is important.

He that is dead hath been freed from sin. It is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Can you claim that?

It is; but through Paul's letters - NOT through Acts.
What does this actually mean; for example?
Acts 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
In my understanding; it means this from Paul...
Galatians 2:15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

I said no and this is why:
1 John 1:9 means exactly what it says, as it says it and to whom it says it. It is just not written to me for my obedience, nor anyone else in the dispensation of the grace of God. It's not our good news.
1 John 1:9 will happen in that day when a fountain is opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleaness.
Zechariah 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
"That day" is the second coming of the Lord (the Body of Christ has already been caught up to meet the Lord in the air 1 Thes. 4:16-18). This is in one accord with what Peter preached in Acts 3:
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
Act 3:19-21 has nothing to do with the Body of Christ. Israel looks forward to the blotting out of their sins. That's what it says. For that is God's covenant unto them when He shall take away their sins.
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Israel looks forward to their sins being blotted out while we in the Body of Christ look back to the cross. We have already received the atonement.
Romans 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
All of our sins were in the future when Christ was delivered for our offences after having been made sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV) and died on the cross for our sins!
Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
The Bible calls the good news above, the gospel of Christ and IT is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth! Romans 1:16. Believing that gospel which Paul preached is to believe that Christ died for all of them. If you think there is something you still need to ask for you don't believe they are forgiven. You "believe not" the gospel of Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
