a fat reminder just came to me my friend . And it came from a letter in the bible .
Notice what paul says he told peter before them all . That peter walked not according to what , THE GOSPEL .
Peter was not obeying the gospel . When he was seperating the jews from the gentiles .
ITS IN galations . SOLID PROOF right from the bible .
-and let the sound of the gospel reverberate throughout the heavens and be like a hammer-breaking the hardened, callous hearts. Amen!

We are led by the Spirit of God....The Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:14
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
John 16:13
“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.”
Romans 5:5
And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.
Romans 8:14
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
John 16:13
“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.”

Yes indeed my friend . And let us always remember this as well .
IF a man has works and yet believeth not that JESUS IS THE CHRIST , that aint no gospel either .
Cause a huge false end time gospel known as the social all inclusive one is teaching
folks a lie . Its saying folks dont have to even BELIEVE IN JESUS and it preaches another idea known as the social gospel .
ITS A LIE from hades my friend . Let us always remember that as well

Yes , but let us also not forget this part about the SPIRIT . NO MAN by the SPIRIT calleth JESUS accursed .
And no man but BY THE SPIRIT calls HIM LORD . SO , yeah all them other religions , THEIR DO GOODS cannot save them
NOR are they walking IN THE SPIRIT . THE SPIRIT , yeah IT TESTIFIES OF JESUS , not budda and good works
or the muslim god and good works . IT ACTUALLY TESTIFIES OF JESUS CHRIST . SO lets not forget that .
Also in James brother-
Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Jas 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
Jas 1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Jas 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
Jas 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
--and here brother-
Jas 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Jas 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Jas 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Jas 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Jas 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Jas 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Jas 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Jas 2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Guess that settles that-
God bless brother.

Yes indeed my friend . I was once that dead faith man . OH i had head knowledge about JESUS
i had heard the gospel . I even quoated the gospel to an atheist in the marine corps .
YET I LOVED MY SIN , I DID NOT follow CHRIST , my faith was dead , DEAD .
JUST Like paul also said .
Notice when paul was writing to timothy what he had to say about those who were not taking care of their widows .
What did paul say , specifically about those who did not give , did not provide for specially their own .
HE SAID THEY HAVE DENIED THE FAITH . BAM JUST LIKE JAMES TAUGHT .

Okay Haman the Agagite! I don't judge at all! I point you to what the word of God warns for your false gospel.
If you feel judged then maybe it is the Holy spirit showing you the errors of your you never sin anymore lie.
The Gospel is the Cross of Christ., that we preach., share.
"believe in Jesus, and be saved".
The Preaching of the Cross, is "The Gospel of the Grace of God".
You obeyed it when you received Christ into your heart.
Discipleship follows...
That is the : "go into all the world"....
-and Matthew 25-the whole chapter-and I concur with you brother, mere accumulative head knowledge ain't going to cut it-it is the putting of the gospel into daily practice-it is walk the talk, not talk the walk.
You were a Marine, so when your sergeant gave you a COMMAND-you promptly obeyed, no questions asked!
I notice a lot of "talking" online-the Imperatives in the gospels and the epistles are COMMANDS-but it would seem the "cost is to high" and a certain redefinition is the norm, I hope you understand what I'm getting at here brother.
Jas 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Jas 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

If you have sin, then You need to get saved.
Once you do, then "God hath made Jesus to be sin for us".
Also, I dont feel judged.... I feel great, actually.
What i I said, is that you had judged, both Ritajanice and myself, falsely.
Also,
There is no sin in Christ, and "all the born again are in Christ".
Same with Matthew 25-James-Be DOERS of the word, not hearers only-seems you are in agreement.
Johann.
Im not a John Calvinist.
I am not familiar with Kermos....so, i can't know what they believe.
But here is how i can find out.
I'll ask them......"do you believe you can lose your salvation", and that is the KEY Question that bears fruit, everytime.
If he said no.... i'd say... what about the Law of Moses.... do you believe that God saved us in the New Covenant so that we can fall back into the old covenant and try to keep the law of Moses?
And if he said........ there are 613 of them, and i only know 3.
Good answer.........so that's a no.
Thank you.
I have spent some time in thoughtful prayer, for I feared you were falling for Beholds hypet-grace, whole of bible denying Pauline only, quasi- Calvinistic theology.
I'm sorry if my questions have caused you offense or any hindrance. Please forgive what I thought you answered questionable to me as his leaven. I'm sorry !
Thats our Discipleship...........not our Salvation.
Salvation is Jesus on the Cross..........and you can't DO that one.
Your prayers are unanswered.
Marks does not believe that the Grace of God is "hyper"., and He's not a Calvinist.
You should ask him, instead of just posting something you are pretending. is true
Ask Him.
And you should pray that God opens your eyes and shows you that you are in a CULT.
There is the prayer you need to believe, Keturah.
It is not for you to say to another believer that if they have sin, they need to get saved. They ARE saved, and commit ACTS of sin, not habitually-not living in a STATE of sin
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Can a believer commit an ACT of sin, in word, thought and deed? Yes, no doubt about that.
Johann.
I concur here-we cannot "save ourselves, or pull ourselves up by our own boot straps"-It is wholly an act of YHVH.
Eph 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Johann.
