The word "perfect" is so often confused as to which part of God's threefold work in us it relates to. For instance, Hebrews explains "the spirits of just men made perfect" (Heb. 12) ; yet, also in that book, we are told that we are to "go on to perfection." (Heb 6) Which is it? Are we...

I'm not speaking of the soulish realm, but the spirit. It is in the soul that all our battling takes place, not in our spirits for they are made perfect when we are justified. That sin factory is located in the soul, not the spirit. I have noticed an error within some belief systems that...

Right, amadeus, we do need to die to ourselves, to our flesh. So much of what passes for sound doctrine by prosperity preachers goes contrary to the self denial so important in our cooperation as we grow up in Him. What is taught instead by the big names is self-esteem, self-confidence, etc...

It is not like we know nothing of perfection, for our spirits, upon the moment they are justified and quickened, are made perfect. It is the only part of our threefold makeup that becomes perfect once we turn to Christ and repent. We are taught through Paul's writing that the spirit of a just...

I can see that. GT. Whether that is appointed by God, I don't know.

I didn't intend saying that the word Trinity is not in the Bible but that they believe the existence of the Trinity is not supported. I believe those three verses I used do support a Triune Godhead. I don't give heed to Catholic doctrine, although I can appreciate the fact that many people...

The spirit is either dead or alive, nothing in between. It is separated from the other two parts (soul and body) because, as we can easily see in Scripture, the contents of the soul includes the mind, intents, thoughts, imaginations, attitudes, heart and emotions, none of which the dead...

As a Christian who has spoken to countless passersby on sidewalks and total strangers in stores, restaurants, garages, and everywhere, I knew fairly quickly that if there was a calling for which I was best equipped, it was evangelism coupled with apologetics. Much of the latter I continue to...

There exists three sources of suffering to a Christian. First, there is Satan and his fallen angels, demons, devils; and, unclean, seducing, and evil spirits who manipulate this fallen world to his own end. But, as Christ's disciples, we have authority over him. We can either bind him, lose...

I see through Scripture that the spirit in man, which is made alive through justification, is made perfect. But the Holy Spirit can be increased by a double portion. (2 Kings 2:9) Also, there is a building up and a stirring up of the gift. Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on...

There are today schools that have been set up to teach Spirit filled believers to learn the role of prophets and apostles. In existence for centuries have been schools established to fill three of the five fold ministries: pastors, evangelists and teachers without much criticism. They are well...

Man was created with a threefold makeup: spirit, soul and body. These parts are separate and the work that takes place within each are known as justification (spirit), sanctification (soul) and glorification (body). Paul, in writing to the Corinthians related well these workings. 2...

THE PROPER ATTITUDE OF A BELIEVER Have you ever met a person who converted, changed, or was transformed by a concept such as a twelve step program whose attitude reflected pride and arrogance, rather than thankfulness and humility? My work office was once placed near a former alcoholic who read...
