I know I am saved. And, yes, it is Jesus who keeps me saved, BECAUSE I abide in Him. If you think you can do whatever you want and Jesus keeps you saved when you don't abide in Him, you are kidding yourself. In other words you are so completely filled with hate towards me you are completely...

Except, no one taught me this. Or any of the doctrines of God the church doesn't seem to know, except one. I found out about them when a missionary friend told me she doesn't understand what I teach, (she was raised Lutheran), but she receives pamphlets from a church in Texas and she doesn't...

@Behold What do you think what I underlined means? 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage. 20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of...

Thank you for sharing the actual words.

Do you know that not everyone who goes to church every week are actually saved? Why is there a difference when both groups, saved and unsaved, all believe in Jesus? What would you tell them? What would you tell those who believe in Jesus, but are not born again? Or would you tell them they are...

I prefer writing out the Scriptures for all the readers, unless you want what you say to be passed up and ignored. Here is what you should have done. Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you...

Galatians 5:19-21. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of...

Yes, faith is important, but you didn't explain why Paul wrote "from faith to faith." Our mind is our spirit and thus IS what would be born again, along with our heart. We are made up of spirit, soul and body, 1 Thes. 5:23, and everything in the spiritual inside of us is what MUST be born again...

That would be willfully going against your new nature. Jesus made it easy to continue on the path of righteousness. It would be like Adam going against God on purpose, which is what he did because he knew that Eve had already eaten. Though he didn't know what would happen, he chose his companion...

Believe it or not it is tricky. I went to a very legalistic church for the first 30 years of my life, but still sin had a stranglehold on me, and not one prayer was ever answered. You see, I was having an affair with a married man. Peter says to Repent...and you will have the gift of the Holy...

Unfortunately, there is not a denomination on earth that holds to what I believe, and the true gospel is so simple. Jesus does it all. We can not take credit for anything, even our "keeping ourselves" is because of the extreme love I have for Jesus as a Husband. Isa. 54:5. (rhema back in the...

STOP! Wow. I swear I don't remember anything of the kind. You are not Gnostic, nor do I recall talking about sex with you, a man. But if I did, I'm very sorry. That is horrible. This may be one of those times that Jesus takes away immature fruit and empowers us with maturity in that particular...

Behold, we may not believe alike completely, but at least I treat you with respect. And I do not bear false witness against you as you are to me. I am saved. I know it, and there is nothing I will do to stop being saved. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for you. Matthew 7:19-23. Out of one...

Jesus is the Author of our faith, not us. He will take away every evil desire, even if not all fleshly desires not found in the Ten Commandment have been taken away in the first round of cleansing, so we must keep ourselves away from people and places that could bring up the flesh. Our love for...

Behold, I'm glad you spoke of the POWER that is given to those who repent of their past sins, because a true born again believer in Christ's sacrifice and resurrection finds a supernatural change in their desires, and thus in their behavior. Others will know you are a Christian. Jesus TAKES AWAY...

I know exactly what you mean when God says, "stop." I now stop too. LOL Wow, I never knew they were such a cult. I've always defended them, but dying for your own sins is antiChrist. I see the wording a little differently. See what you think. 1 Corinthians 9:11 says we were washed, we were...

Sorry, I missed this one because it wasn't addressed to me. 1 John 1:9 and Acts 2:38 are the same event. The moment you are born again of the Spirit and given the Holy Spirit to not sin. "All unrighteousness" is the desire to sin also. But we learn in 1 John 3 that the type of sin we are...

Unfortunately, I did marry again. But for the whole week before the wedding, God was saying, no, but I reasoned, "well, he's a Christian" and married him anyway. There is a verse about Jesus that He learned obedience through suffering, that I can relate to. He divorced me for the wife of his...

Yes, from birth, and when I was 23 I was engaged to a Church of Christ man and told him we couldn't marry until we were the same denomination. He couldn't debate, which I later found quite disturbing that he never had an opinion about anything. But back then he called one of his friends and we...

The point I was trying to make is (9) if we are cleansed of all unrighteousness, are verses 6, 8 and 10 Christians at all? My answer is no. Verse 7 is the only Christian, and verse 9 is how they became a Christian. The key word in 6, 8 and 10 is "say." You can say anything, but walking is a...
