Chuckle!! That's the 'ol "It was written to THEM, not to US" manoever. Totally expected. argument rejected without a second thought.

Eph 2:8,9 covers things nicely.

But since it isn't, (McAlister and his false teaching not withstanding) then nothing you (or your denominations) says matters one way or another. Simple as that. MY BIBLE has more than i verse in it. Sorry about yours.

Chuckle!!! "Oneness paradigmatics" (McAlsterites) that we threw out of the Assemblies of God back in 1916, seem not to be aware of ANY Bible passage other than Acts 2:38 and their Legalistic interpretation of it.

Not specically. but what He WAS talking about was what IS FAITH, and what isn't "FAITH" at all (dead faith). The faith that SAVES, and the faith that moves mountains is the same thing - only a different application. Faith is Faith there's only ONE FAITH the meets the criteria in Heb 11:1...

No problem there, no indwelling Holy Spirit = Not Born again. Simple as that. AT LEAST you've got that right in spite of the terminology you use. Of course what you miss is John 20:22 when the Holy Spirit was ministered to indwell the disciples by Jesus, the effects of which are recorded in...

And nothing we can do about it if he does. For sure the Media wants it to happen. They pray for stuff like this to bawl about.

NO!!! No major Pentecostal or Charismatic denomination/Group (with the exception of the UPCI "Oneness" paradigmatics) ties "speaking in tongues" with being "Born Again" in any way!!!! The Assemblies of God in the very beginning thought the same thing, and sent out missionaries with that...

Good!! Let 'er rip. For Born Again Christians, Sudden death = Sudden glory. And the unsaved just get to where they were going all along, a little earlier. Nobody HERE can do anything about it, and God's got it all under control. There's a LOT of resources in the Ukraine the Russia would...

In my case, I was prayed over in a FGBMFI breakfast meeting to be "baptized in the Holy SPirit" (to use AG Vernacular). NOTHING HAPPENED. BUT a couple of weeks later, in a FGBMFI Dinner meeting during "worship", a strange word came into my mind - so I spoke it, and words began to simply flow...

Then why do you continue to SIN, with your "Divine Nature".

Chuckle - SOMEBODY sure did, but I rather doubt it was HIM.

There's no such thing as a special "Sinful nature". That's just a "Theological" invention. We all have a HUMAN NATURE just like Adam, and Jesus had during His physical life. and nobody's "Human nature' has ever changed. TRUE our "old man" WAS (simple past tense) crucified with Christ. BUT...

Why should I take ANYTHING you say out of context seriously?? But at 80, I'll give you the "Old Dog" evaluation.

CHuckle!!

Of course there's WORLD OF DIFFERENCE between "Belief" (mental assent), and Biblical FAITH (which must possess "substance" and be an "EVIDENCE" of what you don't see). "Mental assent" has neither attribute. And according to Eph 2:8,9, FAITH is GIFTED by God (Rom 10:17). James is essentially a...

I was Born again, and cleansed from my SIN back in '63. And when I SIN, I confess it, so that my Advocate can forgive and cleanse me. Hopefully when YOU SIN, you do the same thing. what's THAT got to do with anything??? Where'd you pick up THAT foolish rationalization???

Somebody shoud have told Jesus that after John 5:14, and 8:11 He apparently didn't understand -
