So then, no one was persecuted unto death in the "Early church era"; or the "Reformation church era"? It's not a strange interpretation, when you understand that the figurative 1000 years of God's Grace began ever since Pentecost, and has no specified end until God the Father determines that it...

Indeed it does, but what happened prior to that day, of our coming bodily resurrection, is paramount and certainly necessary: Colossians 1[12] Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: [13] Who hath delivered us from the...

Therein lies the value of what God was meaning in Isaiah 55:8-9. "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD".

Yes! As I had said: Our resurrection is a two stage process. There will be no resurrection of our physical bodies, unless we have received the Holy Spirit of God, the very actuator of ALL resurrections. The power to spiritually quicken us, is found in Him, who is the resurrection. I repeat...

1 Corinthians 2[14] But the natural man [mind] receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. [15] But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. [16] For who...

I am on topic! I was speaking about the power of Christ's resurrection, which is the FIRST Resurrection. If anyone hath no part in the resurrection of Jesus, they are not "holy", nor are they "blessed". Therefore the power of the second death remains upon them. Paul saw the importance of that...

Your belief system filters everything through the understanding that there will be a KoG on earth for a literal 1000 years after Christ returns. I strongly disagree. The 1000 years is a metaphor of undisclosed length of time of God's Grace, which began on Pentecost. Revelation 20:4 is...

So therefore, you don't agree that "the power of His resurrection" is within you, whereby you have been made a "part-aker" of His "divine nature". 2 Peter 1:4. You do realize that the Holy Spirit is the vehicle of His divine nature gifted to you, which is the power of His resurrection. That...

Such a situation is shown to be the case for the OT Saints of faith, who could not yet have the Holy Spirit abiding within them permanently. Because the blood of Christ was not yet shed, their sins were only forgiven, and had not yet been removed. We see them being remembered by God in Malachi...

It is apparent that by your form of belief, you don't agree with Scripture that Jesus is "the Firstborn from the dead", and that it is He alone, who is "the first resurrection", because as He said: "I AM THE resurrection". However, if you are now Born again of His Spirit, you ARE a partaker of...

Amen! Being born again by His Holy Spirit is our salvation. Being bodily resurrected into immortality, is our redemption. It's a two stage process. For all who are not born again in this life (have not the Spirit of Christ), it is impossible for them to be redeemed (changed into the likeness of...

The determined judgment of God through Jesus is for our good. The word "judgment" from God should not always form in our heads the expectation of doom. Here, you can see that judgment/determination of God's will through Jesus, being foretold in Daniel. They are the six works of God that Christ...

If my comments and scripture references aren't enough to prove that our salvation and redemption is a two stage process, the Holy Spirit through Paul says this: Ephesians 2:1-6 [5] Even when we were dead in sins, [He] hath A. quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved [6] And hath...

So now, let's talk about the "power" of Christ's resurrection. What was it that caused Him to rise from His mortal death of being bone, flesh and blood only, into a brand new, immortal living creature, of being bone, flesh and Spirit, having Eternal Life? Can you describe who the power was/is...

Please notice that your words do not describe HOW one "belongs" to Christ. However, what you have described are the "foolish virgins". Yes, many come to Christ for the forgiveness of sins through His blood, but they NEVER asked for the Gift of His Holy Spirit, which IS THE vehicle of the Gift of...

Please pay attention to the title of this thread, and you will see that that this topic and my comments are very much on point. 1John.5[13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that YE HAVE eternal life, and that ye may believe on the...

The PARABLE of Luke 16:26 applies here. Luke.16[26] And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Matt.13[13] Therefore speak I to them in parables: because...

Ok, I replied to the site you listed.

And of course, that part of Christ's Resurrection (who is the First), being that of His Holy Spirit, was imparted, deposited, seeded and/or planted in the hearts of all who ARE Born Again of His Holy Spirit. Rev.20[6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the...

The spiritual resurrection is most certainly biblical. At the moment, you are not willing to hear it. Our salvation unto redemption, is a two stage process. First we must be born again of God's Holy Spirit, whereby we are clothed and sealed by God's indwelling presence, unto the Day of our...
