Dear Earburner, You believe that it is up to mankind to decide if they are going to accept Christ and be saved. Therefore, you believe that all mankind has an "opportunity" to be saved in this age. This false belief is founded upon man's works and is what Satan's false gospel teaches. It is...

Dear Earburner, Job 37:6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain (Early Rain), and to the great rain (Latter Rain) of his strength. Now take a look at what the story of the "Two Witnesses" teaches. The Two Witnesses represent each Elect believer of this...

Dear Earburner, I explained that to you already. The spirit of anti-Christ enters a believer after they have received the Early Rain of the Spirit. Christ removes the spirit of anti-Christ when He gives the fallen away believer the Latter Rain. The Latter Rain comes with power and strength...

Dear Brakelite, If a believer has not seen the Abomination of Desolation that occurred within themselves, they are still spiritually blind and unconverted. Everyone will experience the "day of evil" to humble them. It is only when a person comes out from being deceived that they can they know...

Dear Earburner, There are no scriptures which support your comments. Absolutely zero. Faith is given to a person by Christ when He gives them the indwelling of the Early Rain of the Spirit. Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of...

Dear Earburner, The OT faithful were given the Early Rain of the Spirit which gave them their faith. It was their faith that justified them. The Old Covenant had nothing to do with it and does not apply to them. Upon their resurrection from the grave, Christ will come to the OT faithful and...

Dear Earburner, You are confusing the attributes of the Early Rain of the Spirit with the attributes of the Latter Rain of the Spirit. Those two Rains are different and need to be rightly divided. Also, there are no scriptures which teach that the Early Rain of the Spirit only temporarily...

Dear Earburner, Some of what you stated is true but you are still misunderstanding the Early Rain of the Spirit and what it does for a person. The OT faithful received the Early Rain of the Spirit and that is what gave them their faith. They all "died in faith" because the Spirit never left...

Dear Brakelite, That scripture (Rom 3:10) most certainly applied to me before my conversion. After Christ healed my spiritual blindness so that I could "see" the truth for the first time, I was very humbled. I now depend on the Lord for everything in my life. He truly directs my steps and He...

Dear Brakelite, God gave it to him, but not only to him, God gives it to all new believers (babes who suck milk) when they first begin traveling the pathway to salvation. The pathway to salvation begins for a person when Christ gives them the Early Rain of the Spirit. But because the Early...

Dear Brakelite, Mankind has no ability "to open the free gift" of salvation. They also have no ability to ask Christ for it and they have no ability to reject the gift when Christ gives it to them. Rom 3:10 As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that...

Dear Brakelite, The only one who has a free will ability is God the Father. Mankind has no such ability. Prov 20:24 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? Prov 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it...

Dear Earburner, You said: Almost my exact point!! As I had said: " The Holy Spirit of God IS NOT GIVEN yet to a person, that He is LEADING to repentance (metanoeo) towards God. At that time in a person's life, the mind of God, His Holy Spirit, only comes along side of us, but IS NOT YET...

Dear Earburner, What you stated above is not what scripture teaches. A person is given the Early Rain of the Spirit first and the Spirit then gives them faith and causes them to repent. Luke 11:13 and when Christ knocks at the door are teaching about when Christ gives an Elect believer the...

Dear Earburner, I will respond to your second point which was: 2. Christ does NOT GIVE the Holy Spirit to anyone WITHOUT their "asking" or knowing!! Luke 11:13. The first step to Christ, is from outside of themselves, whereby the Father "draws" them to repentance first!! (See also John 4:23)...

Dear Earburner, No where in scripture does it ever say that mankind has a free will ability to choose. In fact, God's Word says the opposite. By elevating mankind's "will" to be equal with God's "will", you are saying that Christ has very little power to save a person and that God's "will"...

Dear Berean, Thanks for your response. The teachings of the New Covenant are spiritual teachings. They do not happen out in the world where they can be seen with human eyes. Those teachings apply to all believers (especially the Elect) throughout this age and not just to a certain time period...

Dear Earburner, I don't understand your reasoning on "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive". The verse is clearly saying that "all" who died in Adam (that's all mankind) is the same "all" who will be made alive in Christ. The verses below say the same thing...

Dear Earburner, You said: Yes, though most do not understand the concept of our reality in Christ, we each ourselves are the New earth, God's long desired place of Immortality, with HIS Righteousness. Concerning the New Earth, your understanding is close but it is still a bit off. The New...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... Mat 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say...
