I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this... I know that I don't like to be told that I preach a gospel of works, as that is truly a diversionary lie that is spread by the likes of you about the gospel that I preach... So, until you make the mistake of showing forth the reality by what...

Now you are driving me to boast in a form of self-defense, as was the case with Paul in 2 Corinthians 11... I will say that my Bible reading for at least ten years now has been that I have read through all of the epistles once per week (that would be 520 times in the past ten years), the...

Technically, what it means that the plant that is planted has no root, is that the root of that plant cannot go deep into the earth because the ground is shallow. But it is still a living plant.

You may be showing forth signs and wonders to show that Jesus is the Messiah, if you are filled with the Holy Spirit.

Where do you get that idea? I don't think I have even mentioned what my teaching is on the subject matter in question. In looking at the passages in question, I would say that the unsaved in 1 John 1:8 are the same people who are unsaved in Hebrews 10. Although, those who willfully sin...

If I said that it had already happened to me, it would be the evidence that it has not yet happened in me. But because I do not consider myself to have apprehended, that makes me a candidate for "perfection" (Philippians 3:15 and context). But clearly, the adoption is the redemption of the...

2Ti 2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

The apostles Paul wasn't born again when he wrote this? Rom 7:18, For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Consider Romans 5:1-2, Ephesians 2:8-9. We have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; we are saved by grace through faith. Therefore if we no longer have faith, we no longer have access to grace. And salvation is by grace; so if someone no longer has access to grace they no longer...

Look carefully at what I'm about to show you. Luk 8:12, Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. This is the context of Luke 8:13, and it says clearly that if you believe you are saved...

Phl 3:20, For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Phl 3:21, Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. No...

You have wrested Paul's doctrine to your own destruction because you do not understand it (2 Peter 3:15-16).

The love of the Lord, which is the bond of perfectness (Colossians 3:14), has been shed abroad in the heart of the born again believer (Romans 5:5). Thus, the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in those who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit (Romans 8:4). It is faithful to say...

It is biblical doctrine that we are saved by grace through faith. Therefore if someone ceases to have faith, they cease to be a recipient of grace and therefore cease to be saved. But this only applies to the lukewarm, nominal, or shallow Christian (Luke 8:12-13). Paul is not saying in...

1Jo 1:8, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

1Jo 1:8, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. One verse stands in the way of your doctrine; and there only needs to be one verse to stand in the way of your doctrine in order for your doctrine to be refuted. Actually there are also other verses that...

As believers, we are not under the law (Romans 6:14), are dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and are delivered from the law (Romans 7:6) as concerning condemnation. The "curse of" the law has been dealt with. Nevertheless there is still a blessing associated with the law (James...

Again, you misrepresent me. I do not think that I am saved through law-keeping.

If you deny indwelling sin, you deceive yourself and the truth is not in you (1 John 1:8). Therefore, since you are denying indwelling sin, you need to honestly question whether or not Jesus is dwelling in you; since He is the truth and therefore, since the truth is not in you, how can Jesus be...
