    I will answer your question after you have answered mine. Here: Grace vs Legalism Thx.

    Grace vs Legalism

    No, you don't. Because I asked a legitimate question and you declined to answer. The person therefore who is walking in the light is the one who is born again (for the scripture cannot be broken). 1Jo 1:5, This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is...

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    You missed one: Mat 27:3, Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, Mat 27:4, Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is...

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    I often tell people to be Bereans about what I say to them (Acts of the Apostles 17:10-11).

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    That does not logically follow. Because your demon tells you that Jesus isn't trhe Son of God according to Isaiah's definition (in Isaiah 9:6).

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    Yes, I agree to a certain extent. But I would ask, is the faith in Luke 8:13 a genuine faith?

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    I'm sorry, but I fail to see what He was answering if not salvation.

    Grace vs Legalism

    As I said to you, what I am teaching has nothing to do with self-effort. I believe that God saves me and keeps me saved. I am sealed by the Holy Spirit and His motivation within me is towards walking in the light. 1Jo 1:6, If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we...

    Grace vs Legalism

    I would suggest going with the teacher who backs up his statements with holy scripture. @Behold is imbalanced in his viewpoint; he needs to take all of scripture into account. However, he denies that Matthew, Hebrews, and James are even inspired scripture (or, so it seems). Not to mention a...

    John 5:24 (kjv). Jhn 5:24, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. If you combine what I placed in larger print, the one who hears Jesus' words...

    Grace vs Legalism

    It is no lie. And, you also took it out of the context of the rest of what I said about it, so that, in context, it is exactly on the money. It is not self-effort in the context of the way that I presented it. And in the way that I presented it, it also does not contradict the idea that the...

    Grace vs Legalism

    And this is also in the practical sense (1 John 3:7).

    Grace vs Legalism

    We are saved for ever because of trusting in Jesus (John 5:24 (kjv). And, we also stay saved by confessing our sins and by walking in the light as He is in the light (1 John 1:7-9). My conclusion: the one who is truly born again will be motivated by the Holy Ghost indwelling them to stay...

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    First of all, Jesus made it a condition of reconciliation that we repent (Luke 13:1-5). Secondly, we become aware of sin as we expose ourselves to light. The Holy Spirit convicts. And, our position in Christ is not dependent upon our relationship / koinoneia fellowship / connectedness. That...

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    I didn't say that it wasn't conjecture. You have an argumentative spirit, my friend.

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    There is Philippians 1:21-23. It is far better to be with Christ in heaven; who would want to come back to earth after having been in His presence for any length of time? Paul came back for the sake of those to whom he would be ministering; it would be better for them and it was needful for...

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    @marks, If we come to faith in Jesus Christ by taking the step of confessing our sins; and this brings forgiveness; then do you assume that unconfessed sin is forgiven from that point forward? I believe that our relationship of walking in the Spirit (and the light) has to do with being...

    Grace vs Legalism

    Also, if I am asking you a sincere question, then I am open to learning from you, if you will answer the question in the context of what my objections are. If you don't have an answer to my objections, then your doctrine has no value to me (or anyone else, for that matter).
