There are two of them, there is no doubt about that. They are distinct from one another. It is the same Spirit and therefore the same Person who both inhabits eternity and also dwells in human flesh in the Person of Jesus Christ. But because one is a Spirit only, and the other dwells in human...

Just what do you think that it is and is for? The gift of "discerning of spirits" is given when you have the truth and also preach it to others. Then, if they will not hear the truth, you can be certain that they have the spirit of error (1 John 4:6). Behaviour will, in fact, be a major...

I have met people whom I believe were entirely sanctified, yes. But they were the kind of people who would never have broadcasted that reality. They went to the Nazarene Church; so that reality was a major part of the doctrine that they believed in. But they left it up to the pastor to...

Just as long as you realize that that is only your opinion...

If anyone is sealed by the Holy Spirit, they have an everlasting faith. But that, if anyone lost faith, they would also lose salvation, is a basic truth. For we are saved by grace through faith. Therefore, if faith is missing, the conduit by which they access grace is no longer there; and...

It depends on what kind of faith you have. There is a nominal, lukewarm, or shallow faith; that can nevertheless be identified as saving faith (Luke 8:12-13)...where the person believes for a while and then falls away when temptation comes. It does not save from hell...but it does save from...

I'll let you remain ignorant on this issue (1 Corinthians 14:38 and context).

Did Jesus not have a choice in the matter of whether or not He would fail or succeed at accomplishing His mission?

I did not abuse it. But the reality of what the passage means is hashed out in the thread in question; and therefore I was referring people to that thread for a more accurate understanding of what the passage in question means.

Yep...and in that body He ate a piece of broiled fish and honeycomb (Luke 24:42-42). He would not drink of the fruit of the vine until He drinks it new with us in His Father's kingdom (Matthew 26:29). Physical bodies.

Liked your post; but not this part: because we have differing opinions on what right believing is.

There is an entire thread devoted to the issue of what is the meaning of Hebrews 10:26-31; we do not need to rehash it in this thread, thus derailing the thread. Hebrews 10:26-31

So, Adam did not have a choice in the matter of whether or not he would eat the fruit?

Which is not to say that we will not have physical bodies in heaven.

I would suggest reading your Bible according to the plan in the following thread: An excellent Bible reading plan.

If you live after the flesh, you will die eternally in the second death. Of course everyone is going to die physically the first time (except they be raptured). Not something that I would recommend (Hebrews 10:26-31). Rom 7:18, For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good...

Actually, there is going to be a resurrection of the bodies of those who will be judged and then cast into the lake of fire bodily (Daniel 12:2, Revelation 20:11-15).

I do know what gnosticism is; and I know when someone is preaching it. You may not be doing that on purpose. I am not identifying your doctrine as gnostic as some kind of tactic to disparage what you are saying, @marks. The doctrine that you are preaching truly is based in the core of what...

However, what do we do if it has not yet been rendered dead? Rom 8:13, For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. We are to mortify the deeds of the body in the power of the Holy Spirit. Yes, it is. And there...

You can teach what you don't know? If you don't know it to be truth, why would you teach it? Nope...jbf's stuff is the best...:D:p:cool:
