    Our desire for Holiness comes in the presence of almighty God.

    It is in the definition of regeneration itself. It is an ongoing process of restoration to the original created order. Here is the link to Strong's for the word, Read "A" And "D" in the definition in particular. G3824 - palingenesia - Strong's Greek Lexicon (kjv) (blueletterbible.org) Correct...

    Our desire for Holiness comes in the presence of almighty God.

    You have never experienced a revival in your own life and because of that you deny the existence of it. I Agree with most of what you say above, as your view is more of the Methodist view i spoke of above, And I do not doubt you are born again, But we must seek more of Christ Jesus, More of his...

    Our desire for Holiness comes in the presence of almighty God.

    With regeneration comes assurance of salvation, and abiding in the vine leads to Renewal by the Holy Ghost. If you have never been regenerated , Eternal security does not apply.... You can teach them this as a doctrine, but until they have experienced regeneration they cannot claim this as a...

    Our desire for Holiness comes in the presence of almighty God.

    Too bad. Point being most people who claim to be born again are not, because they have never been regenerated at conversion. Some Place regeneration as the second move of the Holy Ghost in the believer (Catholic, Lutheran), Others see it as one in the same with being Born again (Methodist), I...

    Our desire for Holiness comes in the presence of almighty God.

    Incorrect. Eternal security comes with Spiritual maturity, the seed has to be watered and grow. You have a deep misunderstanding of what I believe. Justification is by faith.... the seed planted.... Consecration is by the Spirit.... the plant being watered. A seed planted is good for nothing...

    Our desire for Holiness comes in the presence of almighty God.

    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:8-10) I have...

    Our desire for Holiness comes in the presence of almighty God.

    I Agree that the Word of God is first and foremost. For me personally I had to throw away all my man taught doctrines and begin with what I call Pauline ignorance (A play on Socratic ignorance) "To know nothing save Christ and Him Crucified", It was then that I immersed myself in the word of God...

    Our desire for Holiness comes in the presence of almighty God.

    So many people have different ideas because God created each of us unique. No one man knows the fulness of God But together, in the unity of Spirit and the fellowship we can see the whole of God and his creation more broadly.... for we know in part. God Bless.

    Robert Murray M'Cheyne : "THEY SING THE SONG OF MOSES"

    Dark was the night, the wind was high, The way by mortals never trod; For God had made the channel dry, When faithful Moses stretched the rod. The raging waves on either hand Stood like a massy tott'ring wall, And on the heaven-defended band Refused to let the waters fall. With anxious...

    Our desire for Holiness comes in the presence of almighty God.

    The more we are understanding of and honest with our assumptions, and environment, the more unbiased our Biblical studies become, and the more we arrive at truth. That is what I have found to be true anyway. It is from this perspective we are able to appreciate those with diverse views and to...

    Revival is not intellectual.

    This writing of his helped me greatly in my time of suffering, not sure if this is what you were referring to or not but the one that comes to mind. Acts 17:11 Excerpt: Tozer on the Hammer, File, and Furnace for the Christian (acts17-11.com) I Hope this encourages you as it did myself.

    Our desire for Holiness comes in the presence of almighty God.

    Its not a logical fallacy, it comes from my background in the sociology and Philosophy of Knowledge. It is difficult for you because it gets to the root of how we develop our opinions. Until we see how our culture and upbringing and socialization have molded our opinions we have a hard time...

    Revival is not intellectual.

    In My Opinion, Tozer is the last great Prophet and teacher the church has had. He unlike many scholars today was Holy Spirit taught as opposed to seminary taught, and that is why there is a power to his writings. His devotionals (taken from His books) can be found here: A. W. Tozer and A. B...

    Revival is not intellectual.

    The New Testament draws a sharp line between the natural mind and the mind that has been touched by divine fire. When Peter made his good confession, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God," our Lord replied, "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it...

    The Plight of the Messianics

    Yes, her family hid Jews from the nazi's and Got caught and were sent to concentration camps themselves. Look up forgiveness video by Corrie ten Boom on youtube.

    The Plight of the Messianics

    That was Corrie Ten Boom, although I do not know if she was Jewish.

    Our desire for Holiness comes in the presence of almighty God.

    A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer discreetly. Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own. Like a maniac shooting flaming arrows of death is one who deceives their neighbor and says, “I was only joking!” Without...
