    Faith without works is dead

    You are twisting what I am saying. My question is as Christians Jesus demands that we live a life as He did. We are to love, seek justice, believe in Him, performs wonders and miracles for him, witness and preach His gospel, etc. How can we be effective witnesses except we live Christ like and...

    Faith without works is dead

    So by being free do we keep on sinning? We just believe and show no evidence of our belief? If I am a Christian for believer in Jesus Christ then I should live a life like He did. Only God can keep us from sinning! He does not want us to sin but live holy. We can not get around living holy...

    The soul is your mind, emotions, will, personality, etc.= who we are The spirit is the ego of God (a piece of the breath) of God in us that makes the spirit of man alive.The spirit of man connects us to God it is apart of Him living in us.

    Acts 19:1-6

    Okay so they were believers in John not in the Christ Jesus. Why did Paul say then since they believed? Belief in whom it had to have been Jesus since they could not receive the Holy Ghost except by the power of salvation in Jesus.

    Acts 19:1-6

    While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples 2 and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when[a] you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 So Paul asked, “Then...

    Is the Holy Spirit a "He," "She," or “It”?

    It means we as the church have left our old parents of Adam & Eve and our old sinful nature and have joined with our husband Jesus who produces in us our new nature which is Christ like and we became like in Him and joined with Him in oneness! ULTIMATELY it is a great mystery and our finite...

    Sanctification

    Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. (2 Cor 7:1) Not that we have already attained complete sanctification but we press toward perfection. It is a daily process in the...
