Or, that while we are saved we still have sin within us....which would mean we aren't saved because the whole point of salvation is being saved from sin.
We are saved from the practicing of sin (1 John 3:5-9)...
The element of sin continues to indwell us even after we are saved (1 John 1:8).
2 BILLION "cult of Mary" worldwide, disagree with you.
See, you have no idea about this, and that's on you.
Ask any Catholic .."how are you saved"..
"im water baptized and CONFIRMED into the ONE TRUE CHURCH".
So, see that?
Where is the Cross?
Where is The Christ/ ?
Go and get a "cult of Mary" bible, the Douay Rheims, and read John 3.
It says..>>"born again BY WATER".
Got that ? ?????
Let me try that again for you........
In the "cult of Mary" BIBLE, the Douay Rheims VERSION, that is created from corrupt Latin manuscripts that no Greek Scholar, and no other Scholar, (theological) other then a cult of mary scholar accepts as authentic, says...>"BORN AGAIN...= BY WATER"
"by water," by water. "BY THE WATER">
= WATER CULT.
= Jehovah's Witness and the "cult of mary"..
So, why don't you know this?
Its because you are not AWARE.
See, we are not BORN AGAIN by water, we are born again by the SPIRIT OF GOD.
Not the "water">.
I will point out that the kjv says the same thing as the Doauy Rheims...
That we are born of water and the Spirit.
What is "God's will" that Jesus is referrring to?
Among the things that God says is His will is:
1) our sanctification (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5)
2) that we give thanks in everything (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
3) that everyone who sees the Son, and believes on Him, may have everlasting life (John 6:39-40).
Let see you post a quote from me, from any Thread, including this one that is "heresy".
Give that a try, and when you can't, or if you do, you will then point yourself out as a self saving, legalist.
Watch and see, as there is no way around that reality, amazed@grace.
I'm not going to search for the quote by you; but it is, I'm certain, not disputed by anyone that you teach that believers do not have indwelling sin. This is heresy that amounts to you deceiving yourself so that the truth is not in you (1 John 1:8). And if anyone believes your teaching, they deceive themselves and the truth is not in them (1 John 1:8).
And pointing that out does not make me a self-saving legalist, either. It makes me a true watchman.
Well, let me show you what happens to anyone who is in heaven with indwelling sin, deceiver.
Pay attention !
= Lucifer, was found to have "iniquity IN HIM"......so, that justbyfaith, is SIN INDWELLING, that you say you have..
So, after you die, and are in Heaven with that "indwelling INIQUITY", God will do to you what Lucifer found out.
You are not taking into account the fact that we will receive glorified bodies when we pass into the next life which will be free from the presence of sin.
In our current bodies, we are set free from the penalty and power of sin (if we are born again); but not its presence.
This is basic Christian teaching.
IF you die with indwelling sin, you will meet Holy God and you sin will be dealt with, there, because Christ has not dealt with it down HERE.
= fair warning, again.
The way that the Lord deals with sin, down here, is that He brings us to repentance concerning the practicing of sins. We continue to have indwelling sin (1 John 1:8); however, we don't walk according to the sin that dwells in our mortal flesh (1 John 3:5-9).
The element of sin, dwelling within us, is rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8) so that it no longer has any say over our behaviour (Romans 6:14).
God has relegated sin to the flesh (Romans 8:3); and if we walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit we will be showing that we love the Lord and when we are judged according to our works, our works will evidence the fact that we were born again in life because we walked after the Spirit rather than the flesh the majority of the time, ever since receiving Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, and His Spirit in our hearts as a motivating factor to walk according to holiness.
