    The Godhead: One Substance or One Subsistence!

    Hi, I agree with you its just that I am trying to understand more of the greatness of our God as revealed through the Holy Trinity. I believe and know that there is One God and that He is the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. Three of One! The Father creates and sustains life and begot the Son...

    The Godhead: One Substance or One Subsistence!

    I amend my original post in the fact that the Godhead is "One Substance and Three Subsistences" not "One Subsistence and Three Substances". Three that bear witness as One! Each give testament and yet each of their testaments are One! Each speaks and acts individually but as One! Like a tribunal...

    The Godhead: One Substance or One Subsistence!

    Greetings to all, I have been in a mental and theological struggle over the doctrine of the Godhead. I believe in the Trinitarian (though not saying that those that hold a different view are wrong) view of the Godhead. Yet I am struggling over the terms of substance vs subsistence. Both having...

    Not Asleep, But Comatose

    I believe we should live in a state of being ready for the Lord Jesus' return yet while we are eagerly anticipating His coming again we should be working! What I mean by using the word "working" is saying that we should be living a holy life, proclaiming the good news, spreading the gospel...

    Sucky Christians

    I agree with the original post. We fail and fall daily yet as Jesus said unto the apostle Paul ""My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9)! Thank God for Jesus and Jesus for the gift of the Holy Spirit given to all believers to enable us to...

    The anatomy of a revival

    I gave my heart to Christ (got saved) at a youth revival at my church. Such joy filled me and I couldn't help but cry! I went up to the altar and received God's grace to me. I was a child and didn't know much or remember much but that night changed my life! Hallelujah thank you Jesus! Thanks for...

    Recieving the Holy Spirit and Him working in your life

    Baptism is not a perquisite for the reception of the Holy Ghost! Belief in the Lord Jesus is! (Acts 15: 9-10)

    Why do Protestants / Evangelicals not kneel during service?

    You can kneel on your knees and your heart still stands in pride. I don't knock anyone's expression of worship as long as the heart is pure from which the worship flows that is all that matters! Some may stand in the physical yet be kneeling in their heart! I personally do both however the Holy...

    The Critical Link Between Belief and Obedience

    Great Post! We must have "worshipful obedience"! We worship our Savior but we obey our Lord! Jesus Christ is both Savior (to be worshiped) and Lord (to be obeyed)! And as I always tell people "possess what you profess!". If you profess Jesus; possess Him as well!

    The Heresy of Perfectionism

    Agreed we live in relative holiness while here on earth; also known as Christian perfection. God commands us to be holy and thus we should be holy!(Hebrews 12:14)

    1John 3:5-6

    "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" (Romans 6:1-2)

    The Heresy of Perfectionism

    We press on in Christ! Our glorious redeemer who shall make us like Him! Holy & Righteous through the eternal blood of Jesus and the sanctification of His Spirit! (1 John 3:2) Sanctification is progressive!

    The Heresy of Perfectionism

    Hammerstone, I think we are believing similarly but defining it differently; I'm not speaking of sinless perfection. I'm speaking of holy living which on the earth in this flesh we live in relative holiness or Christian perfection. We all sin (knowingly and unknowingly) yet through the blood of...

    The Heresy of Perfectionism

    Its the Holy Ghost that brings out holiness in the life of the believer! If you try to do it; you will be frustrated because you can't! Yet if Christ doeth the Work it shall come to fruition! (Philippians 1:6; Jude 1:24; 2 Corinthians 7:1)
