Joseph Prince (Worldwide speaker and author of *Destined to Reign*) and Andrew Wommack (Andrew Wommack Ministries and author of many books) teaches this with the Grace (hyperGrace) message, as does my local Pastor. They say we are already forgiven for our past, present, and future sins, and because of that our sins are overlooked. So there's no need to confess our sins, ask forgiveness, and repent. What is the Biblical basis for this belief?

I have a somewhat vague understanding of dispensationalism and Covenant theology, and have until now preferred the latter to the former because it seems simpler and hence more intuitive. I recently came across Free Grace Theology (FGT), which seems very appealing to me and, to my mind, focuses on the Gospel in a sharper way than either Reformed or Arminian theology. However, in watching talks by FGT people, I've noticed that they link FGT to dispensationalism in a very tight way, as if dispensationalism needs to be assumed in order to arrive at the Free Grace position. I would like to understand how and why this is the case, if it is true. Also, is FGT compatible with Covenant Theology?

["Free Grace" theology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Grace_theology) is a strand of Evangelical soteriology that holds that sanctification does not necessarily follow the conversion and justification of a person – that is, those saying that they believe in Jesus do not need to become obedient disciples of him in order to be saved. This view is certainly controversial, and rejected by many prominent Evangelicals, both Arminians and Calvinists (cf. [Lordship salvation controversy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lordship_salvation_controversy)) . One difficulty with the view, it seems to me, is associated with the salvation of Judas Iscariot. The Bible refers to Judas Iscariot as a "disciple" of Jesus ([John 12:4](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+12:4&version=ESV)) , but at the same time it seems to indicate that he was not saved ([Matthew 26:24](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+26%3A24&version=ESV) , [John 6:70](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+6%3A70&version=ESV)) . **According to Free Grace theologians, is Judas Iscariot an example of a "carnal Christian," someone who "believes in Jesus" but doesn't obey him, and ultimately goes to heaven?** Or do they explain Judas in some other way, such as that he was saved and then lost his salvation, or that he was never saved? Here I'm focusing on modern Free Grace theologians, like L. S. Chafer, Charles Ryrie, Zane Hodges, and Bob Wilkins. If they take different approaches to this question, I'd like an overview of their views. Related: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/q/9152/21576
