Dear FeartheLord, You said: Works are only related to the Old Covenant if they are the works of the Law of Moses. However, we do have commandments from Jesus to obey. Those work must be added to our faith to keep it alive. Any works that a person believes that they do for their salvation...

Dear FeartheLord, There is only one sin that leads to death (loss of salvation). It is the same "willful" sin that Paul mentions in Heb 10:26-27. This sin occurs when a new believer mixes works with faith. This is the same sin as mixing the Old Covenant (Old Wine) with the New Covenant (New...

Dear Verily, You will not find many takers for the mark being a spiritual mark. Like Marekzde77 said, the mark is more commonly understood as being a computer chip. However, this understanding cannot be true for a couple of reasons. Here is the first reason: Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that...

Dear Verily, The phrase "buying and selling" is referring to accepting and teaching beliefs. Sometimes "selling" can also mean to rid yourself of certain beliefs that you used to believe were true. Believers who have the mark of the beast can exchange their false beliefs with other apostate...

Dear Marekzde77, The book of Revelation primarily teaches the pathway to salvation that the Elect will travel to be converted/saved. It is not a book about worldly future events that only happen at the literal end of this age. The events are spiritual events which happen within a person. The...

Dear Behold and Mailmandan, You're applying man's reasoning to the word "foreknowledge". You need to let scripture define it for you (1Cor 2:13). God's foreknowledge is defined in Isa 46:10-11. It says that God knows "the end from the beginning" (foreknowledge) because of this reason: "I...

Dear Behold, Your beliefs are contradicted by God's Word. Nowhere in scripture does it ever say that God is a fortuneteller. Scripture says that God "worketh all things by the counsel of His own will" and since God accomplishes everything that He "wills" and says, those things are certain to...

Dear LatterRain, You and @mailmandan are misunderstanding from where God gets His "foreknowledge". God is not a fortuneteller as you are claiming. He does NOT look into the future to see who will "love Him" and then turn around and claim that He chose them for salvation from the foundation of...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... In the marriage analogy, the Early Rain of the Spirit occurs when a person is betrothed to Christ and when they are made into a "chaste virgin". 2Cor 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may...

Dear Doug, Where does Paul speak of this early and latter rain? The Early and Latter Rain concept is contained in the farming analogy which teaches the pathway to salvation. James uses this analogy in James chapter 5. Rain is a "spirit" word (John 6:63) which represents the Holy Spirit...

Dear Doug, There is a pathway that Christ causes His Elect to travel to their salvation. That pathway begins when Christ comes to a person and freely gives them the Early Rain of the Spirit. He gives the person this gift without their permission and without their asking for it. Paul's...

Dear Galgal, You said: It is not true. In fact, there are righteous people among the unbelievers: For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: (Romans 2:14) Your comment is not true. I find...

Dear Galgal, You said: We see the abomination of desolation in religion, and then we flee from there to the mountains. How can we allow the abomination of desolation in ourselves? How can we allow idols into our hearts? He who does this is deprived of fellowship with God, expels the Holy Spirit...

Dear Galgal, If a person believes that they have not ever been an apostate believer, then they are still under Satan's deceptions. That is the nature of deception - a person cannot know that they are being deceived while it is happening. It is only after a believer comes out of Satan's...

Dear Galgal, You said: We are already baptized with the Holy Spirit. If we were not baptized with the Holy Spirit, we could not be in the Body of Christ. That is, none of us would be saved in Christ. When a person first believes, they do so ONLY because Christ gave them the Early Rain of the...

Dear Galgal, Daniel's Seventy Weeks prophecy will only be completed after the last Elect person has been saved. Their salvation is the stated goal of the prophecy found in Dan 9:24. The first 69 1/2 weeks were fulfilled when Christ was "cutoff" at the cross. Those 69 1/2 weeks of years were...

Dear Galgal, Yes, numbers in scripture are "spirit" words (John 6:63) which have meaning different than what man's wisdom teaches 1Cor 12:3). The number 42, as you say, is 6 x 7. The number six is the number for mankind. The number seven is the number for perfection. The perfection comes...

Dear Behold, You said: This verse does not say... """""""A person is water baptized because they have received the Early Rain of the Spirit."""" No, it doesn't but it doesn't need to say it because a person can only call Jesus "Lord" and want to be baptized in water if they have the indwelling...

Dear Behold, Here are a couple:: John 3:22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. John 4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, 2 (Though...

Dear Behold, You said: The "washing of regeneration "......is not getting inside a baptism pool. I have never said that it did. Why do you think I have? You should re-read my posts. The water used in the physical act of baptism is a symbol for the Holy Spirit. The act of water baptism...
