Hypocrites cannot hide behind their hypocrisy for very long. Eventually, the bad fruit that is being borne by them will become evident to all. It is referring to something else. Gal 5:22, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23...

Most definitely. no to separate, yes to distinct. God is one Person; also three.

Actually, the concept that is given forth in John 9:31, shows forth quite clearly the concept that a man must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins in order to be saved (Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39). By submitting to this ordinance, a person is saved apart from his...

Salvation is not guaranteed for those who merely "believe"... And if someone calls on the name of the Lord, but has a different Jesus in mind than the Jesus of the Bible (see 2 Corinthians 11:3-4), they will not be saved.

A more accurate rendering of Romans 10:13... Rom 10:13, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

A more accurate rendering of John 3:16... Jhn 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I take it Jubilees is an extrabiblical document that wanted to be included in the canon of holy scripture but was rejected. As such, I would not put very much stock in it. If it can be used to teach biblical truths, I suppose that that is fine and good; but I would suggest that it was not...

Realize though, that in claiming to be the son of the Most High He was claiming also to be "The everlasting Father" (Isaiah 9:6). You have to engage in eisegesis and change the holy scriptures in order to deny this plain fact of holy scripture. Yet, have you considered the following? That...

This idea that you perceive as "atrocious" is nevertheless the very thing that you need to meditate on so that you can discover the truth about it. What you need is a revelation of the Holy Spirit about what this idea really means; because I'm not sure that the word "shift" is completely...

I did not begin with commentaries but with studying the Bible alone. And I am also rooted and grounded in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Also, 1 Corinthians 3:1-3. 1Co 3:1, And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ...

The reality is that you don't understand any of this and this is why you deny the "three verses" that I keep quoting to you. Do you really think that I only know three verses in the Bible? But I always quote the same "three verses" to you because they are the things that you need to hear in...

A spiritual fetus has not yet come out of the womb; it has not been born. I am pointing out that faith comes before becoming born again. Because we receive the Holy Spirit after that we have believed.

I don't think that I am perfect...although I accept the biblical understanding that we can be perfected in Christ. It is true that for the most part, I know that I am sinning when I sin. If not, He will convict me later that what I did in the immediate past was a sin. I disagree with you...

Pro 17:9, He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. 1Jo 3:10, In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 1Jo 3:11...

I believe that the scripture in question was not Acts of the Apostles 19; rather it was Ephesians 1:13-14.

Actually, you're wrong. The Holy Spirit's job is to convict of sin...it is His job to pinpoint sin when we commit it. If we have Him, then the light is constantly shining down on us and will expose the bugs and cobwebs in our lives so that Jesus can wash them away with His precious blood.

What point is that, pray tell?

I think that what @Ferris Bueller is saying is that if anyone is born again, the love of the Lord is shed abroad in his heart through the Holy Ghost. And Jesus said, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments". So then, keeping the commandments is the result of being born again. It does...

What a lovely excuse! I wonder if it will hold up for Luther on his day of judgment...

That is not in the direct context of John 8:24; but the following is. Jhn 8:27, They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. Just as they did not understand that when Jesus said, "I am he" He was speaking of the Father, so many today also do not understand this basic truth...
