Apparently, you have not studied and digested all of Rom. 9. Israel as a chosen people of God came to It's end in 70AD. However, since Pentecost, they each must now come to Christ for their salvation. If not, then they each, for all who refuse, remain under the judgment of God as it is for every...

Only God knows the intentions of one's heart, of why a person professes to believe in Jesus. The question is, was it motivated by the flesh, or by the Spirit. Those looking on may never know if a person had a "one on one" with Jesus or not. However, their testimony, or lack thereof, will reveal...

Sorry, your first paragraph missed it, as to what Jesus shall do for all who personally invite Him into their life. The church cannot give the Holy Spirit of God to anyone!! Only Jesus does. For that we must ASK! Luke 11:13 Those who have repented, and do believe, but HAVE NOT invited Jesus...

And Mat. 3:11 says exactly what John the baptist said about the church (?),.... or was he speaking about Jesus? Mat. 3:11. See also Rom. 8:8-9, 1 John 5:12-13 and Rev. 3:20.

How about planned negligence is more like it. Houses and vehicles were turned into ash heaps, and melted glass and aluminum on cars, but living trees close to the fires were not terribly damaged. Outstanding Report on the Maui "WildFires" by 48-yr Arborist...

(^ Ref. Post #154) Yes!! And let us all not forget Simeon, who was given by the Holy Spirit, that he would see the Savior before his death. Luke 2:25-35 Nathaniel and Simeon both were examples of the Israel of faith, who were looking for "the Promise to come", the Messiah Jesus.

Even the the OC saints had to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but only AFTER Jesus was glorified in His Resurrection, for the Holy Spirit WAS NOT YET GIVEN [to anyone] John 7:39. We see that taking place in Rev. 6:9-11. All of such are the symbolic 144,000, and ever since Jesus'...

I'm glad you said that, because it's not the church that baptises anyone with the Holy Spirit of God, but rather Jesus. There are MANY that go through the waters of baptism being totally ignorant of the fact that one must come to Jesus Himself, one on one by committing to Him, and not a church...

^(Referencing to my post #148) Please see Mat. 3 [11] I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

You are correct. Jesus Himself is the root of the "good tree", not Israel. Israel without Christ cannot produce the fruit of the Spirit, Gal. 5:22-23; Eph. 5:9. When they EACH do come to God through faith in Jesus, they are THEN grafted back to God, by being born again of God's Holy Spirit...

Both Jew and Gentile, since Pentecost, through faith in Christ of His first appearance in the flesh, will be of the Great Multitude. The 144,000 were under the OC. Please see my post #314, of which answers the OP's question: ,"Who really are the 144,000?" .

There is no controversy over the bodies of Christ collectively (the body of Christ), who are born again of God's Holy Spirit, of whom are made to be NEW creatures, aka a NEW creation IN Christ Jesus. It's all about understanding the difference of being sin-less, as opossed to being sin-free...

Earthly Jerusalem, who under the OC were once a chosen people unto God, committed fornication against God through her whoredoms with many nations, thus proving to be unfaithful to God, who was her husband. But, as for all those who did have faith in the promise of the Messiah to come, they are...

Not all who are visibly baptized by the waters of repentance, are mentally/spiritually committed to be baptized of God's Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is granted to us by His hand, and not that of a church's say so. John 4 [23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall...

(^From post 139) Yes, the book of Rev. was written in 95-96AD., 26 years after the siege and fall of Jerusalem, which is literally revealed by the words: "IS fallen". Rev.14[8] And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen,  that great city, because she made all nations...

Mat. 25:1-13 reveals the cause of division that is within all the visible denominational churches, as well as the differences between them. [3] They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: [4] But the wise took oil IN their vessels WITH their lamps (Psalm 119:105). John...

You are correct in your understanding. The religious view of "church-ianity" is entirely false. John 3:18 speaks of the two judgments of God. 1. The judgment unto eternal death, through Adam, is condemnation. 3. The judgment unto eternal life, through Christ, is no condemnation. Key scripture: 2...

All of Romans 11 also describes Israel's condition thoroughly. However, we are to take notice of verses 28-32. [28] As concerning the gospel [good news of Christ Himself], they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. [29] For the gifts...

I'm sorry, but you are not reading it correctly of that which I said in my two posts: 87 and 98. I am NOT talking about "half baked" professing christians, who live by their denominational religion, but rather I am speaking of born again Christians, who DO HAVE the literal Spirit of Christ...

I especially like the truth from "the mind of Christ within you", of which I agree with: "The Christians of today believe they are alive to sin and it's with much effort, frustration, and failure that they battle this sin nature the rest of their lives. This idea that the spirit of Christ makes...
