Once faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. We don't any longer look to a set of do's and don'ts and attempt to keep them, in order to obtain, or even maintain, our salvation. We have received the Spirit through faith (Galatians 3:14) and the fruit of the Spirit is love; against...

not. I could say the same about you (but I refrain from doing so).

1 John 1:8 would contradict your pov. For I consider that we are a whole person; and that sin resides in the flesh. It is possible for sin to be crucified so that it no longer has any say over our behaviour. But that sin dwells in the believer is a definite truth of holy scripture. See...

What's the difference?

Jesus said that as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights, so He would be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth (hell). Matthew 12:40.

Here, Jesus laid down the law as a schoolmaster to lead the rich young ruler to Christ. He was not saying that the man could be justified by his works; otherwise He would be contradicting what we know to be true salvation doctrine in the New Testament. The man was trusting in his works to save...

But that verse is out of Hebrews. It appears that you have broken your own rule.

Most assuredly, these books are not inspired of the Lord and are not profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. Better check this statement by the word of God, 2 Timothy 3:16.

You must follow the progress in logic going from Romans 2:13 to Romans 3:28...otherwise these verses contradict each other. Galatians 2:16 is also of importance.

I suppose that 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 happens when you are born again. However, is not that epistle written to those who are already saved? So, how is the second benefit promised as something that will happen in the future, to those who are already Christians?

The way I see it, the second benefit, often is the rebirth. That a person is justified by faith is indisputable in the holy scriptures. So, if someone has faith in Jesus, they are saved, irregardless of their walk or performance. But, often after the initial step of faith, a person can indeed...

The prayer language and the speaking in other languages so that people of other languages can understand you is the same gift of tongues. That is my take on it. I did in fact, read the whole of your post, @Behold. I simply disagree with it.

How do you figure?

What;s wrong with the Old Testament? I believe that Paul was speaking of the Old Testament when he said the following: 2Ti 3:16, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Ti 3:17, That the man...

1Jo 1:10, If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. To be more accurate, justification means, "just-as-if-I'd-never-sinned".

So, sin in me is sinning. It should be understood that there is sin being committed, at the very least.

So, you're saying that the apostle Paul denied the gift of salvation, here: Rom 4:20, He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; Rom 4:21, And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Rom 4:22, And...

The gift of tongues can be used to pray to the Lord, or it can be used to bring doctrine, prophesy, or other things. It is the same gift of tongues. Genuine salvation can't be lost, I will agree with you on that. However, there are some who have a mere nominal, lukewarm, or shallow faith...

Here is what it says in the passage in question: Psa 105:17, He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: Psa 105:18, Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: Psa 105:19, Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. No, reading the...

As a matter of fact, God imputes righteousness to the one who believes in His promises and wavers not in unbelief but believes that, what God has promised, He is able also to perform (Romans 4:20-22). Such promises as 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, Hebrews 10:14, and 1 John 3:9. When He fulfills...
