I think the words "by one Spirit are we all baptized into..."shows it is by the Spirit that immerses us into the body of Christ, or into Christ. Then Jesus said he would baptize us with the Holy Ghost. John said that he baptized with water but Jesus would baptize with the Holy Ghost. So it is...

I don't believe so according to Paul's own words. Paul tells us what the one baptism is and it is a baptism into Christ by the Spirit which all are baptized into. 1 Cor 12:13 KJV, Galatians 3 KJV "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether...

In the OT the people God put under the law had to follow the law and Gods directions.. They could still be saved in their heart and yet still under the bondage of the law as Israel was. For example we read of men who were under the law and still had faith and could walk with God. Take David for...

I think we need to have a long discussion about what works of the law speak of and it seems that you are putting the law of Moses far away from any similar works of the flesh that others do who were not under the law of Moses. The works of the law are connected to carnal human effort in doing...

Hello brother, God bless, The "law of Christ" is not lived in or worked out or manifest by our human flesh nature or old man. we cannot do anything without Christ in us and by the spirit that can show the evidence of us being justified, this would include doing any outward ceremonies or...

All the works we do are choices, yes, choices we must make to follow God and the leading of the Spirit. For those who are led by the Spirit are the Sons of God. But when we make a choice, and our will is submitted in spirit to do the things God commands, this is the result of already being in...

continued... Hebrews 4 speaks of us labouring to enter into that rest Belief is not easy. Faith is not easy. The flesh always wants to boast and do things for its glory. It is not easy to die to self and trust the Lord fully. The flesh will cry out. To truly believe is to fully surrender and...

I think this is where we are trying to clarify what the work of God is and what work w believers does and the purpose of that work and the kind of work. I do not believe that we are robots. I believe I said that already in a response. But some cannot see how we cannot be robots if God works in...

Moses said to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.This salvation is of God. The typical crossing over and walking in the new way God shows is a evidence of that faith where God works in us. So again, the salvation is of the Lord and we stand still, no works to save ourselves. They had...

Firstly, I do believe that a good tree will produce good fruit. It will happen as Jesus said, no amount of our flesh can make spiritual fruit happen. And we do not crucify the flesh by the flesh. It is not just try harder in your flesh to overcome the world. But I do also believe we are fellow...

If we are saved in Christ the works of God flow from that salvation. God works in us to will and to do and to make us perfect unto EVERY GOOD WORK, working in us through Jesus Christ. as scripture plainly says. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks and the life flows. Guard your...

Actually we see clearly in the scripture that the apostles and most of the Jews in fact were still under the law and sacrifices and customs of the jews and I believe Peter and the other apostles were as well for a time. God was slowly revealing the New Covenant understanding to them. But the...

No, I don't teach that. We are not robotrons, we are a new creation in Christ but we still have a will . Even though in Christ we have the power and strength to overcome the flesh there is still a war and we may also choose not to yield to the Spirit. Its the yielding to the Spirit and not the...

God allowed them to transition, or the time of reformation as scripture teaches. God also had pPaul and others led by the Spirit to help the church / Jesus said he had many things to say and to judge of them, but they could not bear them at that time. But He said the Holy Ghost would guide them...

Jesus was somewhat rebuking the false wisdom of the world and the errors of those who rejected him and those who trusted in their own understandings and worldly wisdom. The babes he revealed things to would have been the simple followers who were heard and trusted him. He also said that no man...

I agree here. The prodigal was dead and alive again when he came home in repentance and grace. I use scripture strongly in this matter. The inferences, are only there if the text shows it. For example, when Paul circumcised Timothy so as not to offend the Jews. That is inferred that he...

Now that would be a very serious heresy. I cannot work with any downtown who deny the Trinity. Is he a oneness heretic or some other version of the God head? I don't ignore any of them. They all have a proper understanding in the work of faith inwardly understood and God making us perfect from...

hello again. I don't agree with that understanding or teaching. I do however believe, (as you may know) that a christian can fall away from grace and be lost forever. But as scripture shows, Christ dwells in our heart by faith. As we continue in the faith Gods grace had been working in us to...

It’s not really a secret hidden narrative that does not exist. It does exist, the scriptures show it. Jesus thanked God that he hid certain mysteries from the wise and prudent and revealed them unto babes. The things of God, even the deep things, are only understood by the Spirit. for example...

God bless brother, I love you also in Christ and its ok for us to have a strong discussion on this, I don't think less of you for it. It is better to really work through issues even with strong language and conviction than to just ignore them because of the hard to understand parts. Bear with...
