    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    If one has the Holy Spirit, will he not live in such a way as to exemplify such verses as James 1:25? Jas 1:22, But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Jas 1:23, For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    Just give up and consent to the fact that I am a sinner and am going to sin no matter what? To me, that would be the same as saying to God and would amount to saying, "God, You know, I am a sinner and I am going to sin no matter what..." It amounts to rebelling against God's desire for you...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    Was the Philippian jailer not baptized in water? Nope, again I think that you are misunderstanding me. I am saying that the water doesn't have any magical qualities. The only reason why water works is because in going under the water, that is an accurate representation of being buried and...

    Repentance is the Gift Of God !

    Not an invalid comment. A comment that is very true and faithful.

    The Case Against the Trinity

    It should be clear that we also have been begotten (see 1 Peter 1:3). When Jesus was walking the earth there were no people who were born again by faith in Him...the Holy Spirit was not yet given. Therefore, when Jesus spoke John 3:16, He was indeed the only begotten Son. Later, there were...

    The Case Against the Trinity

    Jesus was made a life-giving Spirit when He left His body as a Spirit in Luke 23:46. It should be clear that Jesus, in His resurrected body, ate a piece of honeycomb and broiled fish. Therefore, Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. And your denial of this absolute truth indicates to everyone...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    See 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), (NLT). You are saying that in the face of the evidence (So what's so new about the new...

    rejecting Jesus Christ is different from the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

    That is easily explained by the doctrine of the hypostatic union. Jesus is 100% God and 100% Man. The Father is greater as concerning His humanity; as concerning His Deity they are equal (John 5:18).

    No authority!

    She is condemned because God is a jealous God and she was taking away from His glory as the only true God. Yes, the queen of heaven is a false god(dess). So can Mary be in the hearts of those who revere her.

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    What water baptism is, is a confession of Jesus before men (see Matthew 10:32, Luke 12:8) in an identification with the Lord in His death, burial, and resurrection. Evangelist Greg Laurie used to preach that to not confess Him is to deny Him. I wonder if he would still preach the same thing in...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    There is nothing false or perverted about my understanding of the gospel of grace. Because, what you are not understanding is that I am preaching the law to you as a schoolmaster to lead you to Christ.

    No authority!

    I have leanings towards Oneness Pentecostalism but I do believe in the Trinity. I emphasize the Oneness of the Lord in my teachings on the Trinity; but I do believe that Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are distinct from each other. I also believe that I understand the doctrine well. Eph 3:3, How...

    Isa 28:22, Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth. Jer 15:17, I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    You have never made good on your promise...but thank you for providing a sounding board by which I can get out the true gospel of Jesus Christ... Ezekiel preached that we must repent of sins to be saved. Eze 33:11, Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    I would say that we are forgiven of past, present, and future sins... But that if anyone is truly born again they will not commit any willful sins in the future against the Lord. It is not that the person who is born again would lose their salvation by committing a willful sin... It is that...

    All of these are to be laws in Israel and have not been done away with (see Matthew 5:17-20). There is also the possibility that they will be the law in every land during the millennial period.

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    We are redeemed from the condemnation of the law and also from the wet paint principle; Wet Paint Principle (Freedom) However it is a fact that as believers we continue to be governed by the law from the inside (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    He didn't baptize people personally in Corinth except for the three that he mentioned. But that many in Corinth were in fact baptized is evident in Acts of the Apostles 18:8. People were dunked in water as the result of believing the gospel that Paul preached, is what I am saying. Just as...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    I believe that every one of those Bible verses is referring to the law's condemnation of the sinner. But that they are not referring to the law as a governing factor in our lives. For it should be clear that those who are under the New Covenant have the law written on their hearts and in their...
