    You, My friend, are sitting at the starting line of the race not knowing which direction to run. What you say is true, but it is merely the start of the journey, You have to take the step or leap as the case may be of faith. Once we learn to rest in His finished work, we can begin to trust in...

    I Have answered this question many times for you, you just do not like my answer. @ Salvation, when we are born again we are instantly sanctified what happens after that is called progressive sanctification, where the vessel is made holy unto the LORD, which is a lifelong process. We Grow in...

    Your "being offended" is not allowing you to interact with the scripture given..... You keep reverting to this childish offended attitude instead of addressing the topic at hand, and in these seven responses and the twelve or so before this you have said little to nothing scriptural to support...

    Go back and look at all of my posts, they are all backed with scriptures, which you simply ignore. For example, You said to read Romans 4-8, i agreed and showed you the verses therein that speak of the holiness doctrine, but you failed to interact with this. You see Paul, and all the apostles...

    What you view as me making a negative personal assessment of yourself, is Me "hoping the best for you" and encouraging you to grab Hold of More of the Grace He has for us.... The riches of His Grace (Ephesians 1:7-12, Ephesians 2:7). I Am truly saddened that you do not receive it as such. You...

    I Am making observations of the condition of the church, and placing you into some of them to show you how you may or may not be erring. What you do with these observations is entirely up to you. Just like you saying "choose to believe it" is presuming that i do not believe this, But I am not...

    I disagree, there is so much more to this question than a yes and no answer. Jesus is my all in all, i myself and we humans in general need more of Him, for we are filled with ourselves. simple minds think in terms of yes and no, I trust you are not of such a simple mind? There is no...

    Iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17).... My interactions with you are being used by the Holy Ghost to teach me as we go, He is my teacher.

    I Just answered that question, or can you not comprehend that. Look above under the question quoted.... it begins with "God's Holy Character...." What i write here is the foundation of the Holiness movement from which all revivals and gifts of the Spirit manifest. One says the work of Christ...

    I Never made that claim, you assumed i made that claim. I Merely spoke what i see as the problem in this doctrine, that "offense" you "feel" and read into my comment is the Holy Ghost and His conviction, You should seek his guidance on why what I am saying "offends" you, instead of assuming my...

    You assume that i assume, that is your error.... You are offended by what i say and prove my point over and over again, read 1 Corinthians 3:1-5 That is the response I am hoping fires you up.... read 2 Corinthians 7:8-11. Now prove it to be true like the Corinthian believers did. Or you can...

    From Got Questions which i posted above..... "Both the passive role and the active role are necessary for a healthy Christian life. To emphasize the passive role tends to lead to spiritual laziness and a neglect of spiritual discipline. The end result of this course of action is a lack of...

    Progressive sanctification is a theological doctrine. I can post a link to show the scriptures.... Here is a good one in its entirety... Question: "What is progressive sanctification?" Answer: The word translated “sanctification” in most Bibles means “separation.” It is used in the New...

    Exactly, this is my point, and this is what @Behold does not accept, neither in this post nor in my past conversations with Him. Grace is just the beginning. I Do not disagree with His premise, but what follows. He has taken "it is finished" to mean once we are saved we are fully there, much...

    Grace is the Sparkplug that ignites Spiritual growth, and leads to our will coming into submission to the will of God. I Have known many self proclaimed "teachers" who never figured this out, and in their pride they exalted themselves, and never grew spiritually. I Have known @Behold a lot...

    Every time I read your Posts, i say to myself, "you got that start right, But that grace never grows". It is like the seed is right and germinated, but the plant never grows nor is it properly watered.... Do you understand? It's like stubble, with little or no growth. In the above, for example...

    Serving Two Masters

    This Hymn comes to mind, the story of its authorship being essential to this understanding..... I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold; I’d rather be His than have riches untold; I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands; I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand Refrain: Than to be the...

    Should I Try And Change Their Minds?

    Do not fall for their "gotcha" posts. Be led by the Spirit and he will guide you into all truth, But you will meet resistance, your faith will be tested, but sometimes this is a good training ground. The Simplicity of the Gospel, is what will carry you through, vs. the complexity of Atheism.
