I just know that the gnostic accounts in the days of the early church claimed to have the words of Jesus substantiating their doctrine...nevertheless the gnostic gospels contain false doctrine. In Revelation 22, we find that if anyone adds to the Bible the plagues of the book of Revelation will...

So, the point being that a man can be drawn to Christ without necessarily being already born again... The process of the Spirit drawing him to Christ happens during the time that he is a "spiritual fetus"...at which time he is not yet born again.

A "spiritual fetus" has not yet been born again. It is alive but has not yet been born.

While law-keeping does not justify a man, those who are justified will be obedient to the law. Sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4); And it is true that the one who is born of God "cannot sin" (1 John 3:9) And that the one who abideth in Him "sinneth not" (1 John 3:6) for ever (1...

Rom 3:20, Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Gal 3:24, Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Psa 19:7, The law of the LORD is perfect...

Act 13:39, And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. 1Co 6:9, Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate...

Why would the Holy Spirit dwell in Old Testament saints at all if He were only going to dwell in them temporarily? I believe that they were righteous because of their faith; in the Old Testament as well as the New. And I believe that He also sealed them in the Old Testament. Otherwise, when...

The fact that you have to ask that question and attempt to refute the logical answer indicates that you are indeed promoting people to sin. And, 1 John 1:9, you seem to be ignoring the real message of it...it says that we will be cleansed from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:7 also, teaches...

Understanding that without holiness no one shall see the Lord is not shallow in the slightest. What is shallow is the opposing viewpoint. One produces depth of character...the other preaches grace as a license for sinning...which is truly shallow! I have already done so (many years...

King David would be considered by most to have been an Old Testament saint. Yet he had the Holy Spirit (Psalms 51:11).

I think that in order to believe that Acts of the Apostles 2:38 means that you are to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ because of the remission of sins, you have to deny the veracity of the kjv. That opens up a whole new can of worms. If you can't trust the kjv to be the translation...

Are you here denying that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh? Because it seems to me like you are denying that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.

Well, thanks for bumping my thread up again, anyway. I do believe that in the Old Testament the scripture says, Lev 26:10, And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. and, Hag 2:19, Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the...

I have not said that Christians are under the law; I have said that unbelieving Gentiles are under the law. Teaching that Gentiles are not under the law because they are Gentiles implies that they will not be judged by God; for the law is the venue by which all men will be judged. Just read...

See 1 Peter 1:11. The New Covenant provides the Holy Ghost because Jesus released His Spirit back to the Father in Luke 23:46. The Holy Ghost was released into eternity and from there can descend to anywhere in time to come and indwell the hearts of any of those who would believe His...

yes...it seems you are going to continue to perceive the grace of God as being a license for sinning... You just go ahead and cut Ezekiel 33:11-20 out of your Bible....it doesn't belong there anyway because it is in the Old Testament. btw, the prophets are not the same as the law... And it is...

I can testify to the fact that I do not have secret thoughts that shame hell...for the Lord has cleansed me on the inside and those kinds of thoughts are a thing of the past for me. As for sins of omission....that applies to not doing the works that the Lord has prepared beforehand for you to...

A person can be alive to God and yet not born again yet. They are what would be identified as a "spiritual fetus". They can receive nourishment from the umbilical cord; but they do not yet have the spiritual life that we would identify as being "born again". He was a "spiritual fetus" before...

I examined them enough to know that someone was claiming that they were the words of Jesus. That is enough information to understand that, since they are not the words of Jesus as they are written in the gospels, Acts, and Revelation, that it is better not to trust them than to swallow their...

entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.
