Unlike Amillennialism, Premillennialism is based on assumptions and speculation rather than on any clear, straightforward scriptures

A mortal Becoming a SAINT… First REQUIRES…a bodily Death.
Acts 9:32
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

They weren't dead.

Romans 15:25
But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.

They weren't dead.

Romans 16:15
Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.

They weren't dead.

2 Corinthians 13:13
All the saints salute you.

Dead saints don't salute. :laughing:

Do “you” @covenantee, claim to BE…
“soul” saved?
“born” again?


How about “You”, @WPM?
Do “you” claim to BE…
“soul” saved?

@Spiritual Israelite
@WPM

Are you …soul saved…spirit born again…?
If you're asking if my soul is saved and if my spirit is born again of the Holy Spirit, then yes. Why do you ask? How about you answer the same questions?

And …
“Like @covenantee”….
WITHOUT being bodily Crucified WITH Jesus?
I don't know exactly what you are referencing here in relation to covenantee, but, no, I was not literally bodily crucified with Jesus since my body is still alive. Only He could sacrifice Himself bodily for our sins because He is sinless.

In a spiritual sense I have been crucified with Christ "so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with" and "the life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God".

Romans 6:6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Really…!


You claim, you were NOT bodily Crucified WITH Jesus’ body…but are;
soul saved
spirit born again…


Fascinating...
How about you be more clear about what you're talking about? I'm sure he does not deny that the following passages apply to all saved, born again believers including him.

Romans 6:6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

So, are you really asking if he has been crucified with Christ in the sense that these passages are talking about? If so, I'm sure his answer would be yes to that question.

Why the fascination?

You thinking yourself…
soul saved
spirit (quickened) born again…
WITHOUT your body being First Crucified WITH JESUS.

Foolish belief.

1 Cor 15:
[36] Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
