    The New Birth: Water and Spirit

    Christ breathed the Holy Spirit on them and sent them to preach the Gospel. Those who accept the Gospel and believe, the 12 had the power of the Holy Spirit to tell them their sins were forgiven. If they did not accept the Gospel they had the power of the Holy Spirit to tell them their sins...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    BH, you are the arguing-est rascal I have ever encountered. I can't communicate with you. I choose faith only and my works (which are not mine) will follow. The works I do are planned for me, especially for me, all I do is walk through that door when He opens it. I spend most of my Christian...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Yes, we are to have the mind of Christ, He is our example. And what was in the mind of Christ in His humanity as we are? 'I do always the things that please my Father." How did He please the Father? By surrendering Himself totally to the will of the Father and being lead by the Holy Spirit...

    Of course it doesn't align for you, there's no works for you to perform!

    In other words, Christ was telling him I'm not just the carpenter from Nazareth, I am God!

    No, He did not say He was not good! He said that ONLY God was good, including Himself. If He were not God, then He would have said, "only the Father is good." But He didn't say that, He said God, which included Him.

    Then you don't believe Rev. 3:10, as it could be no clearer. The only way that the Pre-trib can be true (and I believe it is) is for there to be the resurrection that Paul speaks of in 1Thes. and the resurrection of the beheaded in Rev. 20 being two separate resurrections but are the "first...

    None of your slick moves can get you out of this one! Christ comes for His possessions before He unleashes Hell on this earth.

    Incorrect! The dead saints are resurrected before the tribulation begins. Rev. 3:10 "Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." This changes everything you have...

    It's called humility, BH. Humbling yourself before the Almighty. If you want help from God, and want to get His attention, that is how you do it!

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    The point is, you can't do it! It is surrendering to the Spirit and He does it through you. You make living for Christ so difficult! Just try saying, Lord I can't do it, I'm trusting you to do it through me. Just as Paul said, "the life that I live now I live by faith in the One who loved me...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    BH, as long as you have studied the scripture, that is what you take from James 1:12? Temptation is the test of faith! If you endure (keep your faith and don't give up) you will receive the crown of life!

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Will we ever understand what Grace actually means? I am a sinner by the standard of man, I'm a fallen creature with a sin nature. But by the Grace of God, in His eyes I am in Christ, perfect, holy, and acceptable to Him. All because of His wonderful GRACE! Does this mean I can disregard sin...

    Did Christ say at what times the graves would hear His voice? No ! There is a division of time here, 1000 years between the resurrection of life and the resurrection of damnation.

    The RCC has a list of things that must be done in order to inherit eternal life. And even if these things are not met, the great and mighty Church can pray someone out of limbo and into eternal life. What kind of garbage is that? They are mixing faith with works for salvation and what doe Paul...

    OK, follow me on this! In Rev. 20:4 we see that judgement is given to the beheaded during the great tribulation and they reigned with Him for 1000 years. In vs 5 we see that the rest lived not again until the 1000 years were expired. How do I know that all the saved from the beginning of time...

    The Holy Spirit makes all the difference of who will walk after the Spirit and who will walk after the flesh. If it be that you have surrendered to Christ in faith, you will receive the Holy Spirit. You will soon learn, as Paul did and told us, that we can't live this life of ourselves, we have...

    The "first resurrection" are in Christ! The "second death" has no power over them. The judgment of Hell does not apply to them. 1000 years later (20:7) all the unbelievers are resurrected from the grave, sea, and from Hell (20:13) and they are judged at the Great White Throne of Judgement...
