I have just got up to set up my pc where l have files of writings l have done on the subject but it has crashed and is asking for a disc to reinstall and l haven't a clue where it is. It has never happened before so l only have my tablet which is slow.

It is a process which has a fulfillment. Then there is further growth but in holiness not towards it.

I think Mark means l said it 4x?

Deification means to become one with Christ and share in His energies. It does not mean becoming a god.

It is both. I never looked at the eff till a few years ago. I was delighted to find it.

No once

Mark you say yourself you do not see it! If you are ahungering then God will reveal it!

Sorry wrong way round. Not His essence.

Partaking of His nature of essence not His energy. The term is .misunderstood.

Paul is encouraging his readers to go on to perfection not admonishing the already holy

Brothers, you won't see it in a scripture unless you are hungering for holiness like you are starving to death.

I had met Christians for the first time in my life who let me loose in their library. I prayed to God one evening that He would show me if what l was reading was true when suddenly l knew He had died for me on the cross and His presence filled room as o gave my life to Him. That was 50 years ago.

Yes.

The process of sanctification taking place for 17 years to a point where I was done, finished and down in the dust with my efforts to be the Christian I wanted to be. Then God revealed to me how to do it or rather how to not do it - trusting in Christ for my sanctification. Then it happened.

I came to Christ 50 years ago, and was born again in the Spirit 17 years later, 45 years before finding the ECF.

Absolutely the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth of scripture showing us that what has been taught to us directly is from God.

Yes when does Spirit baptism occur is the basis of it. I thought that it had happened when I first came to Christ but found it had not. Baptism of the Spirit means fruit of the Spirit in the fullness thereof not bits of it.
