C.L., My experience has been with those are awakened to who they are is that they never stop trying. Relentlessly loving and sharing with any who will listen.... and with some who won't. LOL.

YET.

Good post. Prepare for conflicting opinions. blessings, Gids

Are you ready? Are you sure? Sitting down? The great falling towards! The separation of wheat and tares is beginning. blessings, Gids

So anyone who is not baptized is not saved. That is your belief? Just trying to clarify. thanks, Gideon

So if someone gets saved but for lack of teaching does not get baptized, then Romans and the truths it contains are not applicable to them? I prYyou do not misunderstand me. I am not arguing against the need for baptism. I am putting forth the truth that multitudes have simply had a ritual...

It is so good to see you! blessings old friend, Gids

Ideally, this should be the case, but if we are honest with ourselves, is it? Why do so many children of God have ended up camping out in Romans 7 rather than simply passing through it to the victory of Romans 8? It is the same reason the children of Israel, instead of passing through the...

Excellent Post. May I make one observation on the subject. Baptism, the ritual of being immersed in water, is not needed for salvation, for if that were the case, the thief on the cross had no hope despite what Jesus told him. Rituals do not save. However, it is undeniable that baptism is...

Fun food for thought?? That is a Thanksgiving feast. Thank you, dear brother. me

How did the rapture enter into this discussion? I am not wanting off this planet until either my work is done or His is, lol. As Leonard Ravenhill once said "I would rather burn out than rust out.". Gids

Why are you trying to twist my words into something bad? I long for His return but there is still light and there is work that can still be done. Until He returns or calls us home in death, should we not want what He wants? Choosing to believe that He is not coming back in no way prevents Him...

Being that my degree is in horticulture, I understand that when I plant a seed on Tuesday, I do not go out Wednesday to harvest. LOL. Yes, souls were saved 2000 years ago, with an impassioned church driven by love to share that love with others. In truth, what they accomplished without a...

Perhaps you can explain that to Paul. He said it was far better for him that he went to be with Jesus but it was more needful to them that he remain. Was he not making his abode with Christ here on earth? Our hearts should be crying out for His return, saying "Come quickly Lord Jesus", should...

Was this not the mindset of the Laodecians? Contentment with where they were, with no desire to press deeper into the Lord? I do not see that as you, dear brother. The "we have need of nothing" thought process of the lukewarm church simply blinded them to the truth and they did not yet realize...

Amen. And contentment without godliness is great loss. Thankfully we serve a God kind enough to give us an opportunity to re-examine our priorities before His return. blessings, Gids

Just out of curiosity, can you show me an example in the New Testament like Solomon from the Old? Why do you think Jesus told us to love not the world, nor the things in the world, for all that is in the world, the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the...

Thanks for sharing and yes, evil is with us. But...... BUT..... it is critical we understand that we must come into agreement with God that evil is no longer IN us. We are told we can resist satan steadfast in the faith and see him flee from us. Romans 7 must be our wilderness we pass through...

We all know about Romans 7. It is where Paul lamented that the things he wanted to do, he didn't do. The things he wanted to avoid, those were the very things he did. Is that where you find yourself? Trust me, you have plenty of company. LOL. I want to ask a favor of you. oI want you to do a...
