    The relationship between faith and works.

    In Galatians 5:22-23 it says that there is no law that will condemn the person who bears the fruit of the Spirit. The righteousness of the law is fulfilled in those who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit (Romans 8:4). The requirement of the law in its do's and don'ts, does not have...

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    I emphasize the Oneness of the Lord in the Trinity in order to combat the heresy of Tritheism. In saying that the Son is the Father I am not denying the distinctiveness of the members of the Godhead. You simply have to understand where I am coming from. All three members can be the same, one...

    Commentary on Romans.

    Rom 10:8, But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; Rom 10:9, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved...

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    You have proven my point. If it is an issue of who has pride... Being unyielding to what the Spirit is saying is a sure sign of it. I find that you put on a front of always being right, when in fact you know that you are wrong. For you, it is a matter of 'saving face" rather than admitting...

    The relationship between faith and works.

    Yes, it is a sin to attempt to be justified by the law; however if you know that you are justified through His shed blood, obedience to the law out of love for Jesus Christ is not going to put you out of the kingdom. I would encourage you to look up the verses that I have referenced in a post...

    Baptism in Jesus' Name (poll).

    By all those to whom the person is confessing Jesus Christ through baptism (see Matthew 10:32) I know that, my friend. And I do not judge you for it. I would say, however, that within the creeds on the Trinity is a statement that if anyone does not believe in the Trinity they are eternally...

    Grace vs Legalism

    I hate to burst your bubble; but your denial of (1) above puts your doctrine in the realm of heresy. 1 John 1:8 is clear, if "we" say that "we" have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

    The relationship between faith and works.

    Observing the law will not remove you from Christianity (see Matthew 5:17-20, Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Galatians 5:14, Romans 13:8-10; Romans 5:5). "everyone who has" means everyone who has spiritual life in Christ. It is not the good...

    The relationship between faith and works.

    The definition of justify in the Bible means to declare righteous. So, see the OP as to how a man is made righteous in being declared righteous.

    Baptism in Jesus' Name (poll).

    It must be known that the baptism is in the name of Jesus so that the person being baptized is identifying with Jesus in their baptism. It is through baptism in Jesus' Name that a person receives revelation on what the Trinity is really all about. Personally, I understand the distinctness of...

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    Like i said before...I have been answering you according to your folly....and you have three fingers pointing back at you.

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    A better scripture on this is Romans 12: Rom 12:19, Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Rom 12:20, Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing...

    PETER AND PAUL AND THE NAME

    Paul my indeed have been given the revelation about the efficacy of forgiveness through the Cross, in order that he might give it to the church. Which is not to say that Peter and the other apostles did not pick up on this sound doctrine in their own preaching later; while this may not have...

    Baptism in Jesus' Name (poll).

    In the case that a deaf mute signed the gospel to the other deaf mute, I believe that they could also communicate through sign language that their baptism is in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins; and that God would accept it.

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    Keep trying to excuse yourself on your day of judgment...see how that works for you.

    Baptism in Jesus' Name (poll).

    A deaf mute would not be able to preach the gospel to another deaf mute in order that they might respond in faith. Baptism is just getting wet if you don't have faith (Colossians 2:12).

    Christians and the Law of Moses

    It is the condemnation of the law that is removed when we come to faith in Jesus Christ; for we are forgiven of all of our sins. However, the law still governs the New Covenant believer from the inside, as written on fleshy tables of human hearts (2 Corinthians 3:3)...Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews...

    The relationship between faith and works.

    The term "justify" in any good Bile dictionary, means "to declare righteous".

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    Oh, I sinned... How long did it take for you to find that verse? You are simply a finger-pointer and I knew that you would find some verse to condemn my behaviour; because that is who you are as a person...a condemner and an accuser. But in condemning and accusing, you will always have three...

    Spotting the Heretic

    Of course, His blood does not only justify (Romans 5:9); it sanctifies also (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29, 1 John 1:7). I don't want it to be lost on anyone that through faith in Jesus, they can live a holy life. If we abide in Him we sin not (1 John 3:6) and we can abide in Him for evermore...
