You appear to be trying to put me between a rock and a hard place. For if I say that I am perfected, I do not have the attitude of the perfect (Philippians 3:13-15). So I am not going to say that. I am going to however say that I have had consistent victory in my Christian walk for some time...

The one who abideth in Christ "sinneth not" (1 John 3:6) for ever (1 John 2:17). See also Hebrews 10:14 (kjv).

A man can come to a place where he does not backslide any more (Hosea 14:4, Hebrews 10:14 (kjv)). If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous (notice it says "if" not "when"). And yes, 1 John 1:9 is a promise to us that if we confess our sins, He is faithful...

The New Testament teaches us, in 1 John 3:9, that if anyone is born of God, they do not and cannot sin any more. Now regardless of the fact of whether that is hyperbole or not, it is indicating that those who are born again will begin living holy lives. Does God produce a holy life in a man...

I don't think that those verses teach that one can lose their salvation... If you do...and also do not believe that one can lose their salvation, then you have a deeper problem of not believing that the Bible is authoritative. You need to memorize 2 Timothy 3:16, I'd gather. And I believe...

True repentance is turning from your wicked ways (Ezekiel 33:11-20, 2 Chronicles 7:14). Then the blood of Christ comes in and cleanses you from all sin (1 John 1:7)...it even sanctifies you (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) in the practical sense. If you turn from unbelief to belief in Christ...

Then perhaps I am not very ably presenting my pov. Let me say that there are two sides of the coin...and that I often try to present the other side of the coin to what you preach in order that there might be a balance and so that people will not get the impression that grace is a license for...

That is a lie. Another lie. . . . It is my connection to Jesus (see John 15:1-8, 1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:17) that keeps me saved. I do not keep myself saved; but the indwelling Holy Ghost motivates me to continue in His goodness... Rom 11:20, Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and...

The Son is also a Spirit (the same Spirit), since He is God (Ephesians 4:4, John 4:24)... See also Ephesians 3:17, Colossians 1:27, 1 John 5:12. While, the Son is also come in human flesh (1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7).

There is even one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4), the Father (John 4:23-24) and the Holy Ghost (John 7:39). And the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father (John 15:26); yet is the same Spirit. The Holy Ghost is distinct from the Father in that He has lived a human life (Luke 23:46). Therefore He is the...

Lucifer was not Jesus' spirit-brother....he was created by Him (John 1:3).

Because God the Father is a Spirit (John 4:23-24)... However, Jesus has declared Him (John 1:18) and whoever has seen Jesus has seen the Father (John 14:7-11).

Rom 6:23, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 11:29, For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

Everything in Ezekiel is profitable for doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16).

Of course, God is God the Father and Jesus is not 1/3 of God; and neither is He a 2nd God...He is fully God (Colossians 2:9). And of course, Jesus will be called "the everlasting Father" in the final end of things (Isaiah 9:6-7); and there is no denying that.

Here is what I think... You are preaching a gospel that is devoid of repentance and claiming that it is virtuous because the alternative somehow is self-glorifying. What you are not seeing is that I do not have any self-glory for the righteousness that God has imputed, and even imparted, to...

You have obviously not been following me for the whole time that I have been on these boards... I took a detour when I prayed for victory and the Lord gave me Ezekiel 33:11-20... (and the truth that the Lord gave me through that passage will also, always be with me and in me)... But I have...

Abstention from sinning is not the catalyst for our salvation but it is the sure result of being born again (1 John 3:9). We also do not maintain our salvation by not sinning; however our salvation maintains our not sinning.

Rom 11:20, Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: Rom 11:21, For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Rom 11:22, Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell...

Of course; however, if anyone has the Holy Ghost, the vail has been taken away (for they have turned to the Lord).
