    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    Why are these 3 verses in Scripture? ... Matthew 1:18, Matthew 1:20, Luke 1:35 Mary + God the Holy Spirit >>>>> the Son of God (Or perhaps you prefer "the son of Mary"?) Gabriel said to call Him "Jesus", "the Son of God", "the Son of the Highest".

    The Gift of the Holy Spirit

    There's only one thing in this world that I'm sure of ... ... you NEVER get enough sleep!

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    I've always deduced that any sinless human would have satisfied Father God. That it actually was God who sacrificed Himself makes it all the more impressive! Yes, "the Son of God" was the sacrifice ... He was the Son of God because God's Spirit was the "father" (He played the role of "father").

    The Gift of the Holy Spirit

    Both sentences are total nonsense. Dave, I'm disappointed in you ... have you been getting enough sleep lately?

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    This is a tough one, and I'll think about it. The gifts of God are without repentance (irrevocable) --- ??? I've always thought that spiritual gifts are without repentance (irrevocable). There has been a question as to what the gift actually is in Ephesians 2:8-9. E.G. If it is God's grace ...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    Really? ... I am! Salvation is a process in which I am deeply involved! My salvation is a co-operation between God and me! The new covenant is a covenant between 2 parties: God and me! Both parties have a part to play in my salvation! For one thing, why do you think I have a God-given...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) First, it's all by grace ... and we're not talking about who gets it or why, right? Second, it's through faith ... but, how long does...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    “If anyone does not love the Lord, that person is cursed.” (1 Corinthians 16:22) “If you love Me, obey My commandments.” (John 14:15) “Those who accept My commandments and obey them are the ones who love Me … All who love Me will do what I say. Anyone who doesn’t love Me...

    The Gift of the Holy Spirit

    The promise and the gift were given to the 120 at Pentecost. These folks received BOTH of the following: 1) the infilling for salvation where the Spirit came INSIDE them and 2) the baptism with the Holy Spirit (which is confirmed by tongues) where the Holy Spirit came UPON them. I'm not...

    Amen, brother, you're seein' it A-OK. Sadly, we're livin' in an age where many people can't read and understand much of anything!

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    Agree. I'm not searching for the truth. Because I believe the Lord has already given it to me. And I'm simply wanting to share what I see in the NT to be the truth. After all, the Holy Spirit was given to us to lead us into all truth. What's wrong with the situation I'm in?

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    Okay, you refuse to accept God's warnings in the NT. Do you ignore them, or do you reject them? Now ... Jesus said if you love Him, you will obey His commandments! (He said this in 4 different verses in John 14) Do you believe you'll be welcomed into heaven, if you don't love Jesus? Jesus said...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    So, we go back to the question of whether our understanding of "believe" is correct. The world-famous Spirit-filled evangelist, Dr. Lester Sumrall, was just as mystified as I have been about all of these so-called conflicting NT passages. So, he took it upon himself to research it all out, and...

    Yes, you can invite ... but, I won't answer. I asked you to comment on my signature, which is a nice acid test to see ... if you have any idea what's going on in the NT.

    The Word came from heaven to free people from sin!

    We also have a similar verse from 1 Corinthians ... "... he (Christ) freed us from sin... " (1 Corinthians 1:30) Again, this means that BACs are no longer in bondage to sin! ... they do not have to sin any longer! ... but, they can choose to sin! Would someone care to comment on my signature...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    There are some who believe that there are NT Scriptures which clearly warn about the necessity of obedience. Would one of you cry babies please comment on this section of Romans 6:16 ... "(slaves) of obedience leading to righteousness" .

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    ... many Scriptures in the NT which are warnings of losing salvation! But, I'm really not telling you anything ... what I am doing is showing you these Scripture verses! Are you spiritually blind, or are you just choosing to reject clear Scripture? What would make some sense is for you to...
