All denominations are trying to put a fence around the truth. All have failed. Better to let God have control. The truth has no fence around it. The truth is LIVING and eternal. Our ideas perish like the grass. Better to enter into His truth. Only God knows who are His. But we can make our...

Not eradication but a full suspension of the carnal nature...making it powerless...suspension as in suspended on a cross. The old bibles translated "aphesis" as "remission" of sin. And remission means to have no more power...like a cancer that has gone into remission. But times change and so do...

The truth is more nuanced than a simple sound bite. Once saved always saved IF we endure to the end. And then saved to what end? Alive in outer darkness forever? Alive in the nations? Alive to be with Christ forever? We will be judged by our choices....what we did with what we were given...

Actually not so simple. God's salvation is hidden in Christ. Very few will find the way into Christ and walk as He walked. If the gospel was that simple there would not be ten thousand denominations. All the ways to NOT understand the mystery of the gospel. Evangelicalism tries to undermine the...

Declaring Jesus is no guarantee of a happy judgment. Many will say, Lord, Lord, and be rejected. Grandstanding comes from pride. Humility is far better. Those who judge others with their own understanding will be judged. God works a lot deeper than most people think. Most people have a god that...

Your shallow understanding will prove your own failure. Turn to the Lord in honest repentance...and quit judging from your religious pride. You will be judged as you judge. You want an exclusive God...well that's what you are going to get...with you being excluded. There is still time to wake up...

You simply have no understanding of the gospel or God. You want an exclusive God the way the Jews still want. And you wouldn't know a disciple if you met one. All you know is the superficial religious facade type of person. You recognize your own. Can I hear an amen!!!?? ! :rolleyes:

What motivates a person to disparage discipleship? What spirit is that? The devil doesn't care if the the whole world goes to church and gives lip-service to God. But try to find just one disciple...and the powers of hell will try to extinguish that light in the world. Of course nothing can...

You should consider yourself in your naming and claiming. Are you saying that making disciples for Christ is anti-Christ? You are upside down. You should be more careful to hitch your wagon to those who spew hatred and call that the gospel.

You are not understanding what a false convert will do. He will act as you do...grandstanding. Drawing attention to yourself. Serving your own agenda. You have the wrong idea about the gospel. It's not about whoever claims Jesus the loudest. It's about more than lip-service. In your eyes...

Yes. A surface conversion leads to superficial fellowship. A deeper conversion brings the love. :)

It's one thing to evangelize the unbelievers...into the first cut of the Christian walk...but quite another to engage in discipleship evangelism among those who now believe they have no further need to repent and be converted into the 2nd cut. What is very rare these days are those who...

God loves the meek, the quiet and gentle spirit, the humble, the honest, the righteous. And He has mercy on those who suffer now, who are poor, lonely, fatherless and the widow. It shouldn't surprise us that God will save such into an inheritance of eternal life

Nathaniel, the Israelite in whom there was no guile...an honest man who was a God-seeker and who was quickly won over to Christ because of an open heart and mind. Nathaniel was sensitive to God's presence. I see him like David...a man after God's heart.

In this follow-up to the 4 eternal destinies I present how this teaching can benefit the church in fulfilling Christ's command to make disciples. Furthermore, I detail what to look for in a potential disciple and what to avoid, as well as lay out the importance of maintaining a humility and a...

Good analysis. Actually only one of the 4 destinies is directly involved in the second death....the killing of both body and soul. The lake of fire is the second death...exterminating the wicked. Not even close. Darkness has no fire in it. Fire IS light. So you are confusing darkness with...

Well, that's a simplistic point of view. What I teach is far too refined for people who only go to sunday church. For a person who wants to get hired at a certain company...all that matters is if one is hired or not. That's the first cut. Being saved from the world. Saved or not saved...that's...

Of course. Eternal life and Christ-likeness is the goal of the gospel. But not all people will receive the gospel with meekness of heart. Some will reject the message outright. Others will try taking advantage of a supposed "saved" status to prop up the flesh. Look at the parable of the Sower...

What you deem as "spectrums" are actually historical resurrections and judgments. What I find is that people don't shift from a previous indoctrination so easily. People who are religious tend to tie up everything they know in one bundle so that nothing can be refined or adapted. But God wants...

The deception has long taken place. People in the past have simplified the bible narrative to appeal to children and very unspiritual people. For the simplistic, there are only two destinies....choose life. Anything beyond that simplistic idea is to be avoided. But what is palatable for...
