I was just reading Luke Ch. 7 and it struck me that this woman who the Pharisees called a "sinner" (and who many think may have been a prostitute) - received the same words some receive when they are given the promise...
Quote: 36 ¶And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
37 And, behold, a awoman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster bbox of ointment,
38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and aanointed them with the ointment.
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred apence, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly aforgave them both. bTell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are aforgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are aforgiven.
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that aforgiveth sins also?
50 And he said to the woman, Thy afaith hath saved thee; go in bpeace.
Clearly the Pharisees don't deem her to be worthy of having her sins forgiven. How interesting that the Savior judged her differently than they felt was appropriate because of her public sins.
Another thought -- we can assume that the Spirit endorsed the Savior's words.
We know that there are different words said when one is given the promise, but at least a couple of notable figures we've discussed received it as they were told their sins had been forgiven. When Enos was given his promise, he was told:
Quote:And there came a voice unto me, saying: Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed.
And I, Enos, knew that God acould not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away.
Isaiah was told as he received his:
Quote:7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said: Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
So if this is the message she was given as well, was this the moment she was given her Calling & Election?
