No doubt. It is to be received; and, once received, it is to be lived out. Of course you don't walk it out to receive it; you receive it to be able to walk it out. It's like someone who receives a gift (let's say, a car) on Christmas and then never uses the present given to them. I suppose...

1Jo 1:7, But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1Jo 1:8, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1Jo 1:9, If we confess our sins, he is...

Jesus does indeed save you and keep you saved. The "gift of righteousness" (Romans 5:17), however, is a practical thing (1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:17-18).

What I said. It is also the devil's theology to deny that sanctification is practical in the life of the believer.

Do you consider that submitting to baptism will provide an assurance that might not otherwise be given? There is an option for that. And you can also change your vote in this poll.

Sometimes what you say is right on the money (such as at present). Other times, it can be a doozy of a false doctrine.

This clearly a gnostic concept. So, why don't you cite the gnostic document where you got this idea from? Thread: Hebrews 4:12. (my response).

I do believe that you may indeed have a misconception regarding it; especially if you don't understand the Trinity. Go to my thread and read at least the first five posts. True Trinity.

Yes, being saved by grace through faith does in fact mean, "not of works"...however, I believe that it didn't hurt anything to show forth this specific detail; which was indeed missing in your statements as being truly mentioned. I believe that Romans 7:6 has a bearing on this. Rom 7:6, But...

It was missing. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't overlooked.

He fulfills the righteousness of the law within us (see 1 John 3:4, 1 John 3:6, 1 John 3:9).

However, we are not saved by works.

What I am saying is that the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us if we walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.

Even Paul wrote that Jesus was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God; Paul's ministry was to the uncircumcised. A distinction can be made. I would say that the gospel of the circumcision has to do with all of the requirements in the New Testament given as virtues to be...

Again, you have not understood what I have tried to teach you about obedience and the righteousness of the law being fulfilled in us. It is not accomplished by attempting to obey a set of do's and don'ts; it is accomplished by walking according to the Spirit rather than the flesh.

Yes; however, there are many who misunderstand the Trinity as saying that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are separate rather than distinct. And I think that you may even have this misconception to a certain degree in the back of your mind So, i would encourage you to read my thread, that I...

I believe that @Doug is basically trying to set forth what is written in Galatians 2:7 where it appears to teach that there are two gospels: one, a gospel of the uncircumcision, given to Paul; and another, a gospel of the circumcision, given to Peter. So, if you are going to combat what @Doug...

The condemnation of the law has indeed been dealt with at the Cross (Romans 6:14, Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19, Romans 7:6, Ephesians 2:15-16, Colossians 2:14, Hebrews 7:18-19). However, this does not mean that we are not governed by the law from the inside. We are, in fact, inwardly governed by...

He is a gentleman.

Some do. I believe that the Catholic Church is historically Thyatira in Revelation 2 and 3. That particular church had a doctrine of salvation by works. But Jesus says to that church, "as many as have not this doctrine, and have not known the depths of satan, as they speak, I will put upon...
