Chapter 2 continued: "But," said a man to me, as I urged him to seek holiness at once, "I got this when i was converted. God didn’t do a half work with me when He saved me. He did a thorough job." “True, God did a thorough work, brother. When He converted you, He forgave all your sins, every...

Ok, I'm back...sorry, family circumstances came first. So, I'm reading "Helps to Holiness" by Brengle and I'd like to discuss chapter 2....so I posted it if anyone is interested. (It is available on the internet as a pdf file) There are some things in it that I wish to discuss but to post just...

Who said testimonies trump scripture?? When you line yourself up with scripture, God blesses you!! And this is testimony of lining up with God's word!!

I respectfully disagree with you, as I have read many testimonies of people who experienced life-changing "second" blessings (maybe it's the name "second blessing" that you don't agree with, that it's all one BIGGGGGGG blessing). To agree with you would mean that these people didn't have the...

I guess this is where we differ. I don't find Brengle's writing complicated at all...petty straight forward actually. And ..... “This is the will of God, even your sanctification. . . . For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness,” and “Without holiness, no man can see the...

So, this is another book by Brengle that I picked up yesterday. It is available on the net as a pdf file if you are interested. I think and hope we can all agree with the first page of chapter One that I will add here. (I added some bold to it.) "Helps to Holiness by S. L. Brengle...

Hi Lizbeth, no I haven't lost interest....I'm just a busy woman that is not able to spend all sorts of time here, I have other responsibilities. However, I did catch up last night....(bedtime reading), which inspired me to do more researching, which I intend to share on Monday....maybe tomorrow...

Here's the first page of Chapter 5: "The Outcome of a Clean Heart. David prayed, ‘‘Create within me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and uphold me with Thy free Spirit. Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways, and sinners...

Have you ever read Jessie Penn Lewis' autobiography? Called, "The Leading of the Lord: A Spiritual Autobiography"? Ask, seek, knock shouldn't be a one time occurrence. Remember, Jesus after healing the 10 lepers and only 1 came back to thank Him asked about the other 9. I believe He wants us to...

You'd have to do your own research....this is the first book of his that I am reading.

I'm going by the definition that Brengle gave..... You're right, that's not what it means, but that's one of the benefits...as well as much more!

I agree! Romans 3:23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God Jesus says: John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin. I agree, we must be regenerated! Which means made clean (whiter than snow, Isaiah 1:18)...

Thank-you!! (The sad face was for "not many interested in holiness these days".) This is true but sad because "without holiness none shall see the Lord."

The only One I want to "reason" with is the Lord. Isaiah 1:15-20 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine...

Hey!!!... I like the linking of Rev. 22:11 to Genesis 2:10!! Thanks, @Epikospos!

I would agree, but you asked me.... and I replied.... Separation like this.... Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the...

What exactly do you mean by dead to sin? That I don't sin anymore? That's how I understand "dead to sin". When something is dead, there is no life in it. In which case, in all honesty, I don't try to sin, my heart is not to sin, but I certainly wouldn't/can't say that I don't sin. I would...

What a wonderful, glorious day here!! So Chapter 3 is a real page turner!! This is just the first page of the 3rd chapter!! "CHAPTER III. Holiness: How to Get It. Holiness is that state of our moral and spiritual nature which makes us like Jesus in His moral and spiritual nature. It does not...

Dear Moderator, Could this thread be moved to the appropriate forum? Thank-you a seeker

I believe regeneration is defined in the same sentence..."which washes away all the man’s guilt, and all the sin for which he is responsible." I don't have a problem with this definition. I also understand that one could see this as the beginning of the race of faith which could be the...
