Please use scripture. Paul give a clear contrast between those who walk according to the Spirit and those walk according to the flesh. I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and...

Amen. I agree. The Lord doesn't expect as much from a babe as He does from those who have been in Him for a season. To whom much is given, much is expected. Jesus taught them the truth of John 15 almost 3 years after they started following Him.

I confess my sins and ask God to search my heart and reveal to me any hidden sin. I reject the false teaching that all our future sins are forgiven, so we have no need to confess our sins. Spending time in His Presence is how to live according to the Spirit. If we live in the Spirit, let us...

You post scripture reference with no actual scripture. Please copy and past the post where I stated a "salvation by works" statement. Here is the truth - Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given...

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1 Those "in Him" refer to born again Christians. Those "in Him" who do not walk according to the flesh, are not under condemnation. For those...

I don't use the word Trinity because it's not scriptural. I use the word Godhead.

That's because those who follow the teachings of man, and unfamiliar with the words of truth. The truth disrupts the darkness. The entrance of the truth brings light. The darkness hates the light. Doctrines of demons are built in the mind by deceiving spirits who must protect their stronghold...

Here is the truth - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

Yes, really. Building our understanding from scripture is how we know and understand the truth. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 2 John 1:9

You don't post scripture. You state your opinion and tag your opinion with a scripture reference. I have found in the many years of posting on these forums, that people who do these things have no interest in the truth. Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He...

Let's start with scripture, so we can understand what the Lord is wanting us to know about this subject. Please post the scripture where the term "apostolic age" is used. JLB

Only those who remain in Christ produce fruit. Here is how we are instructed to remain in Christ - Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 1 John 3:24

Is John promoting a false religion? He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the...

You have refuted nothing. There is no eisegesis in my post, only scripture. Maybe you believe the Apostle John is lying in what he wrote? He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4 Please give us your "exegesis" of this...

Brother, Christians must confess their sin in order for them to be forgiven, and "for God to not hold their sins against them". Only those who practice righteousness are righteous. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 1...

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1 So you are saying Christians, (those in Him) who walk according to the flesh are eternally saved?

Yes sir. Abide = Remain Like a branch must remain in the vine from which it draws it's life from in order to remain alive; in order to flourish and produce the intended fruit it was designed to produce. JLB

How can you refute what the scriptures say? You just denied the truth. Again, Jesus warned His disciples to remain in Him. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the...

Born again Christians. Do you struggle with loving people? Is committing adultery with your neighbor's wife, loving or hating your neighbor? JLB

This is true, as the enemy has developed an intricate stronghold (mindset) that resists (exalts itself against) the scriptures and therefore undermines the person to a state of inactivity or passivity even to the point of no longer confessing their sins in which the light in them becomes...
