They are ONE in unity of purpose. And if you have one of them, you have all three.

First, Hebrews 6:2 speaks of baptisms plural. The baptism with the Holy Spirit is the only baptism performed by Jesus Himself, and it should be understood as a baptism of anointing (for ministry of some kind). Also, no believer can receive any of the 9 spiritual (power) gifts (of 1 Cor 12) to...

Would you be willing to share some of what you're drinkin', or smokin', or injectin'?

To understand the Scriptures, we must understand … what is said, who (or what) it was said about, when it was said, and the time period it was referring to. The Lord wants us to believe … NOT what someone taught us, but what the Scriptures say! BEFORE the Incarnation “In the beginning was...

What do we do with those NT verses which say God gives FAITH to some people?

It should be obvious that since Jesus was fully man and fully God, the "fully man" part was NOT in heaven with the Father. The Word was in heaven with the Father. Please , we do NOT have the situation where ... The Word (Jesus, Son of God) came to earth and became flesh-earth-Jesus. The Word...

If any of these Scriptural Truths offend you … you just simply have NOT been taught the Truth about these things! Under each Scriptural Truth is one or more proofs from the NT. 1 ● The original Trinity was God the Father, God the Word, and God the Holy Spirit God the Son was not there! This...

You tell us that Jesus came to destroy sin. Never said that (but He did so only in the lives of BACs who choose to be obedient). You also quote that the believer does not sin. Never said that. You are adding to the text with your opinions. Everyone does that to some extent because ...

Many here have been trying to reveal to you that ... you must NOT take one Scripture and make a doctrine out of it. At the very least, several verses are required. At the very best, the whole of Scripture is required.

I present to thou all of the epistles, which were written to the churches! These constantly warn about the dire consequences of living in SIN. My personal favorite is Romans 6:15-23, but I very much doubt that you comprehend Paul's extremely tactful method of warning this church (which was...

Haz, "No one who lives (menōn, “abides”) in Him keeps on sinning." This is not talking about all BACs who have been sanctified positionally. This is not talking about BACs who are living in unrepented-of sin. This is talking about BACs who are co-operating with being sanctified progressively...

Okay, I'll bite ... why don't we go a step further! Since this appears to be right up your alley ... please tell us what YOU believe da blue is saying: 1 John 4: 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out...

Truly, I feel that I'm writing this for others, and not for you! There many dozens of NT verses, which encourage BACs to stop sinning, be holy, be perfect, be overcomers, etc. This refers to the progressive work of being more and more sanctified. IMO, a 3rd level of sanctification is when God...

Let's do one thing at a time. There are several levels of sanctification: 1) positional sanctification -- BACs have been set apart for God's use 2) progressive sanctification -- BACs are to co-operate with the Holy Spirit ----------------------------in being santified unto holiness ... and I've...

John 3:36 King James Version (KJV) "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." The KJV boys got it wrong again (and was dutifully copied by the NKJV). John 3:36 in the Greek ... He who...
