    Does ALL sins include "Past, Present and Future" sins?

    I know what the context is...but you should do your own study so that you can know what it is...and, that the context does not nullify the scripture in question. He was filled with the Holy Ghost from birth. Every prophet who prophesied had to be born again in order to receive the Spirit of...

    Not faith alone?

    Read each of the verses in question (in order); and you may have your answer.

    Not faith alone?

    I told you that I edited the post; and then I gave you a link to it. Why don't you read it again? Not faith alone?

    Not faith alone?

    You said that you don't know anyone who is sinless. Then you said that you know that Jesus is sinless. If you know Jesus, then you know someone who is sinless. That is the bottom line.

    Not faith alone?

    A case can be made in scripture for the doctrine of "sinless perfection" (even as opposed to "entire sanctification") in the following verses: 1 John 1:5 & 1 John 3:5 w/ 1 John 5:20; Ephesians 5:30-32, 1 Peter 1:22, 2 Peter 3:1, 2 Timothy 2:22, 1 John 3:3; 1 John 4:17 w/ 1 John 3:5. I consider...

    Not faith alone?

    My violation of the law of Moses before becoming a believer was so heinous as to not bear mentioning here. Suffice it to say that that sin is now underneath the blood. edited post #421 (Not faith alone?). edited post #421 (Not faith alone?). How strange then that just above you denied...

    He didn't say that you did.

    Not faith alone?

    yes...me. That goes without saying (Galatians 6:13). Yep. If that were the case, then any true evangelist is required to obey the whole law of Moses. You are not going to convince me of your pov. I know that I am saved wholly through the blood of Jesus Christ...forgiven and redeemed...

    Not faith alone?

    Of course, in Romans 7:14-25, Paul is using the literary tactic of IDENTIFICATION; which he said he was prone to do in 1 Corinthians 9:22. In this literary tactic, the author identifies himself with the person he is speaking to (even though he is not truly like them...i.e. "I became as weak in...

    Not faith alone?

    Then, perhaps, you did not really come to Jesus. I could be wrong (you may be an exception to the rule). That is like telling people "I have medicine here for you to take" without showing them that they have a disease and thus the need to take it. I don't keep the law of Moses (Galatians...

    What's the post #? Was it in this thread?

    Not faith alone?

    I certainly do not believe that I am justified through law-keeping. Even if the righteousness of the law is perfectly fulfilled in me through walking not after the flesh but after the Spirit, I am justified wholly by the faith of Christ: because my trust is not in my performance to save me but...

    Not faith alone?

    The nkjv is somewhat watered-down there. In the kjv, it says, "For by grace are ye saved (?) through faith..." Notice that I placed the ... there to indicate that there is more in the verse. I suppose I got lazy there and did not quote the whole verse...but I did not pretend that it was the...

    Not faith alone?

    1) the blood of Jesus sanctifies 2) Christ comes into the heart and lives a righteous life in you and through you (if you are born again of His Spirit).

    Not faith alone?

    I answered that in my very next statement. The law is a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ (Galatians 3:24), in that it shows mankind that he is a sinner in need of a Saviour (Romans 3:20, Matthew 1:21); thus converting his soul (Psalms 19:7 (kjv)) It is the church that is not under the law...

    WHO IS THE RIGHTEOUS NATION ?

    The twenty-four elders (which consists of the church) sings a song in the book of Revelation 5:9-10 that we will reign on the earth; and it also appears that it is those who believe in Jesus who will be raised in the first resurrection to reign with Christ for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:2-4).

    Is the messiah the father himself in flesh?

    I believe in the Trinity; and you believe in a version of Tritheism. To say that Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are separate rather than distinct makes each one a God in and of themselves; rather than being members of the Triune Godhead. And, that is three Gods...again, Tritheism. And you are...

    How Powerful is the Blood of Jesus?

    Amen! that substantiates my ministry as a true teacher of God's word. I certainly did not come up with that concept. I heard it first from her. But I do certainly find that Hebrews 10:26-31 does substantiate the concept...and therefore it is not unbiblical.
