Brother, I should have approached you privately, so, I beg your forgiveness. Hopefully we can message one another to clear things up. I am so sorry for my lack of discretion. May God use this error to teach me to pray about things before speaking. Gids

I do not want to upset anyone's apple cart, but I think it dangerous and presumptuous to assume from our limited vision if one is a wheat or a tare, saved or unsaved. God has clearly shown me that the coming great awakening will be the definitive separation of sheep and goats. All have been...

Can we fall once we awaken to the truth and embrace it as our truth? Yes. Why? Well, we stand by faith and in the beginning, our shield of faith is small. Before us lies our good fight of faith, where we count it all joy when we fall into diverse temptations, for as our faith is tried, like an...

"Yet we have some here claiming sinless perfection by misinterpreting certain verses." I find it ironic that you mention that some here are misinterpreting verses when you yourself are misinterpreting what I am sharing. LOL. Let me be clear. I in no way espouse sinless perfectionism. There is...

Are you saying that if one does not have 'the baptism with the holy Spirit' experience, they are not saved? Gids

Here is where we will have to agree to disagree, lol. I was raised in a charismatic church and long ago, had to conclude that what we have considered the empowering baptism of the Holy Spirit is simply not that at all. Why do I believe that? Fruits. It was easy years ago.... ok, decades...

You have a lot that warrants thoughtful replies. I will start with what you said about sanctification. To me it is similar to snapping a photo with a film camera. The image is actually captured instantaneously. However, it is when it hits the developer liquid that slowly but surely brings forth...

Perhaps it is. This has been espoused for years. Yet are there facts to back up this assertion? If you have some, please share them. Repeating something over and over does not make it true. Either way, the real enemy is satan and his 'jesus', the anti-Christ. If the global elite bring about...

I think part of the problem is that people confuse not sinning with perfection. All it is is the absence of the negative. The positive is God changing us into His image from glory to glory slowly but surely when we have, by faith, put on our new man. That is sanctification, the maturing and...

You are simply painting a theory in your head that fits current events into the end result you seek. I am not saying it may not come about just as you predict. However, when you speak it as truth with little in the way of facts to back it up, actually nothing to be honest, it just comes across...

Well, we are betrothed to His Son, bot to God . Pretty basic. What am I missing. i am curious though. Why is this a bone of contention for you? Something must be behind it unmentioned up til now, right? blessings to you, dear brother, Gids

No problem. Gids

Waiting on Him, I would be glad to share with you, but I suspect you are not looking for answers but rather to lay a trap. It may just be me, but I hate traps. You may want to do a Google search on the matter. blessings, Gideon

Amen to that. Now, the correct gospel promises to cause us to will and to do of His good pleasure. It was this characteristic that set the early church apart. They lived their faith and God worked through them to turn the entire known world upside down. Men would exclaim "Behold how they love...

This will make a good start. 2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.. 2 Corinthians 11:2 Does this help? Blessings, Gideon

Excellent and so very true. This is not sinless perfectionism we share. We CAN sin as long as we are housed in these tents of flesh. But..... our spirits are already new and are to rule over our flesh. This is why we are told to keep our bodies under, not 'bring them under'. When we finally...

What an insightful post. If I may be so bold, I interject one observation on your statement that said: "Only then will He crucify the old nature with Himself, and raise us up with a completely new nature, free from the burden of sin." In the way I understand it, those who have truly accepted...

My dear old friend! So good to see you, dear Addy. Gids

Such wisdom, and a gentle spirit. You are a blessing here and to me specifically. My prayer is that the misunderstanding concerning this chapter that affects and hinders so many with limiting God's working in their lives be removed. What will bring this about? Hunger for more of God. The clear...

I want to throw in some thoughts, if I may, on Romans 7. Something to at least chew on. Even though Paul says very clearly that the things he is about to write are 'to those who know the law', the truth is he connecting the Mosaic law, which only concerns Jews with THE LAW..... the one that...
