Yep, one day we will be given that new mind when we receive our glorified bodies! 1 Corinthians 15:42-52 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised...

No, you are reading what was written, but not understanding what was meant. It happens sometimes online. This is what was written.... What I'm saying is, as mortals we are not capable of renewing our minds, but must depend on the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. Our only part in...

God predetermined before the foundation of the world not who would be saved, but how all believers would be saved. Ephesians 1:4-5 "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto...

I think we are in agreement Scott. Our spirit is "born of God". This is the new creature, who's identity is now in Christ, not in Adam. I don't believe we renew our minds but have them renewed through the study of the Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. As we do, we learn how to "put on"...

If I could have, I wouldn't have! :D I can take the cold, but if the wind is blowing at all, I got to go! Blessings to you and family, and thanks for saying hello......... ROLL TIDE! ;)

Been quite cold here in Tuscaloosa. These are the worst winter temperatures for us in a long time. My dogs stay mad at me because I won't take them out at the regular time in the mornings when it's this cold. Lately it's been closer to lunchtime! :)

They don't need the whole story of the bible from creation to Revelation. They just need the gospel of salvation. First I would convince them on the truth of the God's Word by showing evidence of all the prophecy of scripture which has come true even hundreds of years after it was written. Once...

AMEN!!!

I am giving my understanding of scripture, but anyone is welcome to share their own understanding.

I have already pointed out some of the responsibility of salvation that Lordship Salvation places on the believer in former comments. Basically, they describe what is "true faith" and what isn't by suggesting how a person will live after they're saved. If how a person lives determines if they...

This statement contradicts itself. It isn't our "perseverance" that saved us, it's His preservation.

Yes I agree with you. What I am pointing out is this responsibility has nothing to do with being justified. It in fact cannot even be accomplished until after being born again. This is why teaching the believer is justified through keeping this responsibility makes Lordship Salvation a false gospel.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. To be "in Christ" is to be spiritually baptized into the body of Christ. Believers have been made "one spirit" with Him (1 Cor. 6:17). The "new creature" is...

Scripture is never at fault, only how it is used. Didn't Satan use God's words in the Garden of Eden out of context from what He actually said? When they start describing "real faith", that is a huge sign. We either trust the work that Christ did was for us or not. Since receiving eternal life...

Any preaching of the gospel of salvation that places responsibility on the believer either before, during, or after coming to faith is a false gospel. Lordship Salvation requires something a lost person cannot provide, and we know scripture teaches eternal life is a free gift through faith alone...

To be "in Christ" is speaking of our *s*pirit. "Christ in you" is His *S*pirit. There is a difference that should be recognized. Christ in you is the Spirit of God in us which is the "earnest" or guarantee of our salvation. Being "in Christ" is about our spirit being made one with Him. Being "in...

By saying there is no flesh nature ("sin nature"), you are essentially saying the flesh has been reborn. That's the point you continue to keep yourself blind to. The flesh has not been changed......yet! It is *spiritually dead*, not *physically dead*. Until it is physically dead the same as it...

Exactly! A person has to "chose" to believe a certain way in order to support a certain doctrine, instead of searching the truth of the passage. Jesus *is* teaching that the flesh isn't reborn, but the spirit. This understanding is true all through scripture, but wilfull ignorance of those who...

Lordship salvation teaches a false gospel claiming if you're "truly saved" you will __________. This is in complete error according to scripture teaching justification is by faith alone (Romans chapters 3-5), and because in our flesh is no righteousness whatsoever (Isaiah 64:6, Romans 3:10,23...

Soul Man, Jesus made the clear distinction between the flesh and the spirit, and is teaching that the man born only of the flesh "cannot enter into the kingdom of God". Paul taught the same in 1 Corinthians 15:50-51. How do you reconcile your understanding of the old man being killed off, with...
