Well, it's funny that the "born again" Protestant is supposedly led by the Spirit through Scripture, yet disagrees with all the early church on doctrinal matters. I guess you were the first in history to be led by the Spirit.

This of course is nonsense.

You're not led by the spirit, you're led by your indoctrination to arrive at nonsensical conclusions.
Excuse me Sir...be very careful denying the Living word of God.

As I already explained..you are in complete ignorance of what it means to be Born Again..Johnson also...imho.

Sounds good.

Thanks for sharing.
John 16:13-15 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995) But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

Only a Born Again can see the Kingdom of God.

And ?

When one Christian says he's led by the Spirit, and the next says he's led by the Spirit, but they disagree on Scripture, the next step is to actually discuss Scripture, not to keep pulling our "I'm led by the Spirit" badges, trying to one up one another on authority. Lol

So, all of Christian history, until the Protestant Reformation, they all had carnal minds, and didn't understand spiritual things, but, then, by a singular grace, Martin Luther was given the grace to believe the anti Scriptural doctrine of "faith alone" whereby you make no sense of Scripture, so that you can believe in total nonsense, because you're "spiritual". Cool story.
lol.. So instead of the word. we look to History?

The jews tried this, they ended up crucifying their messiah because of it.

No, I already defended my views through the Word (my answers are available in this thread when ever you feel like reading them), and I just note that ancient Christianity agreed with the plain reading I give.

Thats not true.

If a christian could not sin, we would be born again as a spiritually mature perfect believer. And not as babes in christ that need milk.
Agree.
After the milk however one must at some point move into partaking of the meat of the word. Otherwise we are stunted and disabled in growing in the power & grace of God.

sorry, But Paul taught a new believer will change,, James agreed by calling out those who claimed to be believers but did nto change were fake believers.

Paul taught what Jesus did, that we will never perish but we will live forever.

The church you speak of taught non of these things..

Yes, As paul called out the corinthian church because he still had to feed them milk, when he should have been feeding them meat by that time

No, you said good works were a by-product of salvation. That is saying Christians don't sin. You realized your error after I pointed it out.
Nope..

A christian can do good works. yet still fail to serve others. which is sin.

You do not get to determine what people said my friend. Thats arrogant.. and will quickly end all forms of communication.. Humble yourself..
