Condescending remarks like this only show forth the reality that you don't bear the right kind of fruit and therefore are not someone that any of us would want to listen to or get doctrine from. For your doctrine has resulted in this kind of bad fruit in your life; so if we follow after your...

I have given biblical substantiation for my statements. But in answer to your question, entire sanctification is a "second benefit" (2 Corinthians 1:15). Does not mean that we cannot have freedom from (John 8:31-36) and victory over (1 Corinthians 15:57) sin. Gal 6:1, Brethren, if a man be...

I find no problem understanding the Bible thinking that way.

If they are all God, they are the same God; for there is only one God (James 2:19).

So, He is a false god? Why then believe in Him? Jhn 6:47, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

So, God so loved those who are under the sway of the evil one, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life? Makes sense to me...God loved those who are captivated by the devil enough to want to win them away from their bondage...

I will merely reference a host of scriptures, and allow them to speak for themselves. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv), Hebrews 10:14 (kjv), 1 John 3:9; 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:3, 1 John 2:6; Jude 1:24, 2 Peter 1:10, 1 John 2:10; 1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:17; Romans 6:6 (kjv), Colossians 2:11 (kjv)...

I do not feel that I can adequately comment because you have "sicced" the moderators on me. So, while I might have answered with biblical words and exegesis, I will refrain at this point because I value my ability to continue to post here at these Message Boards. I guess everyone can be...

What commentary was I quoting out of? Was it not wholly a verse in the Bible that I was preaching? Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39 is not a cross-rejecting lie. It has everything to do with Jesus dying on the Cross and our being identified with that. Yet, it is absolutely promised to those...

Please be sure to let me know, you moderators, if I have crossed the line by preaching the doctrine of entire sanctification here. It is not my belief that being entirely sanctified is necessary for salvation...I believe rather that it God's answer to the heart cry that is exemplified in Romans...

See Hebrews 10:14 (kjv) to find out whether such a thing is even possible.

Righteousness may in fact be imputed to you if you have not yet been circumcised spiritually (Romans 4:11, Colossians 2:11). But there is a second benefit (2 Corinthians 1:15) that the apostle John even equates as being "born of God", which is spoken of in 1 John 3:9 and is further expounded on...

This is obviously the case if you would read 1 John 5:18 for example. Or, Ezekiel 33:11-20. Or, 1 John 3:5-9. Or, Romans 11:20-22. We keep ourselves saved but we do so utilizing the power of God (1 Peter 1:5). It is also God who works in us both to will and to do according to His good...

In my above quote, in larger text, is the portion that you left out of the discussion. What you did is change the subject to water baptism when the subject at hand was whether or not the person in Romans 4:8 is practically in a holy state.

I can see your point, I really can. However, it is not I, but the Bible, that says that if we do not continue in His goodness we also will be cut off (Romans 11:20-22). The original confession of Christ at water baptism serves as a foundation for later confessions of Christ. If I say that I...

In the original post, which was not #1186 but a post before it (#1170)... (No authority!)... the thing that you were responding to, had relevance to verses 19-20...and you conveniently left those verses out in your reply. Very dishonest... The Bible tells us of the priesthood of all...

It is Christ's doctrine. I will continue to pray that the Lord may open your eyes to the understanding of this reality. Until further ado, there is no further reason to argue as we can simply commit to pray for each other that the other may come to the knowledge of the truth as we see it. If...

No one can keep the letter of the law (Galatians 6:13). However, if someone has the Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:14), then they can walk according to the Spirit in a consistent manner; and in doing so the righteousness of the law will be fulfilled in them (practically)...

What lies have I told? And what names have I called you? I said that your position supplies the idea of agnosticism because it denies the veracity of God's word and/or the fact that it is sufficient; in that you said that we do not have the inspired word of God today. I have not called you...

That is demonstrably false. You are supplying for an agnostic view of God in this...that we cannot know His unadulterated message and that the gospel is hidden from us in manuscripts that have long been lost to us. This is not in conjunction with what we know of God's nature. He is both...
