Again, you re not being scriptural: Romans 12:1-12 shows that holiness of the mind and body is the purpose of progressive sanctification. Imputed righteousness is one thing, holiness is another. Again this is about fellowship, and not salvation... you defer to salvation in all your responses...

As I mentioned to @Pearl confession serves us in that he keeps us humble, and able to be led by the Spirit and taught by the Spirit and sanctified by the Spirit.... It is the good ground in which the seed can germinate.

I Am not talking about this kind of confession and for the purpose of this post confession is the humble acceptance of our own wrongdoing. Sometimes the hardest words to say are "I am wrong". It takes great humility to say these three words and mean it.

Sin separates us from fellowship with God as a born again believer., Confession (Humble acceptance of our sin) and repentance, (turning from that sin) restores that fellowship, because if walk in the light we have fellowship with one another. (1 John 1:7) So No, I do not agree with your...

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1

The Question is do you consider yourself Holy as God is Holy? You did not answer the question.

Keeping fellowship with God is not the same as keeping yourself saved as you accuse me of teaching... think about that please before you bloviate.

You are made righteous by the righteousness of Christ, But are you Holy as the Lord God is Holy? If you say yes, you are deceiving yourself, If You say no, then that is where the Process of progressive sanctification occurs. Instant sanctification is what we receive when we are born again, and...

confession and repentance are like the oil that lubricates our spiritual maturation. Sin in our lives interferes with our fellowship with God, confession and repentance restores that fellowship, and the humility which it takes to confess and repent Is the broken and contrite heart God loves to...

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship...

There is no need to yell.... I Understand what you are saying, But in the process of attacking the legalists (Tares) you are attacking believers (Wheat) as well. There are believers who are true who are going through the valley of Doubt on the road to full assurance of the faith that for...

Your behaviour after salvation has a bearing on maturation spiritually as well quenching the Spirit from working in you. To teach what you teach is to teach doctrinally Spiritual stagnation, and separation from the Power of the Gospel. The Gospel not only forgives and saves, it transforms the...

Then stop teaching that it does not matter how we behave later. You were wrong in saying that and now your contradicting yourself. Not only that you are misrepresenting what I have said so that you can continue accusing me of being a legalist. I said: Note the word i capitalized... Not only...

Discipleship is for all believers not just the few.... You see when you said "No Matter how you behave later" You are in fact teaching that the grace of God is a license to sin. This is the opposite extreme of Legalism and you are falling into Satan's hands as you are falling into his stronghold...

I am what I am by the grace of God. Satan fights from two towers, lawlessness and legalism.... We are saved by grace, sanctified by grace, This is all his work in us. We are to bear the fruit of the Spirit with the grace given to us to His glory. "For we are His workmanship created in Christ...

This is teaching licentiousness. The Gift of Grace is not to be buried in the ground Like the servant who was given one talent did... It is shallow faith at best.

Did He proclaim "Jesus is the LORD" Or deny His Humanity? Did you even test the Spirit in him to see if this was the case? You see, Joseph Smith denied the divinity of Christ, and his humanity, Jonothon Taze Russell also did, Herbert Armstrong did as well... when you test the Spirits as...

9000 denominations plus in the world tell me otherwise.... It is they who are still in the flesh and bouncing to and fro between the opinions and teachings of men and not relying on the teaching of the Spirit.

This is your fear.... We do not have the spirit of fear 2 Timothy 1:7

That is where testing the Spirits comes into play.... again read 1 Corinthians 12:3, and 1 John 4:1-6. All the followers of Jesus were able to receive revelation that was beyond scripture and the Jewish religions understanding of scripture... do not be like those scribes and Pharisees as this...
