    The New Covenant

    When The fulness of Christ is come we are all Brethren and equals. Until then we submit to the elders of the church, but more importantly, we must submit our live to Christ who is the head of the Body. The body has only one head Christ Jesus. All other heads are usurpers of His Glory.

    The New Covenant

    For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe...

    The New Covenant

    Read Hebrews 3 And Hebrews 4. What @Keraz is pointing to is the final redemption not the initial ratifying of the covenant. See below: 14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with...

    Latter Rain

    BF, I disagree with this claim. Eternal security and whether one believes in it or not is a question of belief and unbelief. Not the belief that salvation comes from, but the belief in the providence of God that allows us to enter the Promised land. It is the same for the Latter rain. Teaching...

    Does strength of faith determine your place in heaven?

    Hi Stuart, I would also recommend the A.W. Tozer daily devotional or even A.B. Simpson. Here is a link you can find them at. A. W. Tozer and A. B. Simpson Daily Devotionals (cmalliance.org) They are short and to the Point.

    The Light reflects off of each facet in a different way, which makes that Jewel Unique yet one. Each facet has to be polished, so that they may reflect the light that shines on them. Since we are sharing Hymns, here is one that speaks of this as well. Holy Spirit Living Breath of God (Official...

    He Put the word on My heart and the response written by @marks seemed to be facetted.... I Can't explain that, but it was visual...? Malachi 3:16-18 also came to mind. KJV actually has the word Jewel in verse 17, which is the version I use primarily.

    What is God preparing us for?

    I Wrote the following to @marks I Believe this is from the Holy Ghost Though I am uncertain of the exact nature and depth of the meaning of this. The Holy Spirit Just gave me a Word to respond to this, I am not sure I can explain this myself yet. As i Read your response The writing was...

    The Holy Spirit Just gave me a Word to respond to this, I am not sure I can explain this myself yet. As i Read your response The writing was "Facetted" As in the facets of a precious stone. Perhaps what He is trying to say is each of us are a facet of his precious stone that he has to work to...

    I Don't know if my post answered this specifically for you, But I would agree in a way with your statement the gifts of the Spirit given at Pentecost enabled them to teach the body, to lay the foundation for the faith to the Body. See 1 Corinthians 3:10-15

    What is God preparing us for?

    Before I start, I want to thank @marks and @theefaith for helping to lead me to this post, Iron sharpens iron and good dialogue though we may agree or disagree helps to teach us in fellowship with Brethren. God is preparing each one of us to be Elders of the faith. As Elders we are the Bishops...

    Before Pentecost, when Christ breathed on the disciples and they received the Holy Ghost, they were Born again under the new covenant. The New covenant having been ratified by the death and resurrection of the Testator. (Hebrews 9:16) When the Holy Ghost came on them t Pentecost this was their...

    When you are born again, are you a mature believer, or do you mature as a believer over time? That is to say, have you not grown since you first believed? I think you would answer yes. The Problem is not that Christ does not give the fulness, but that we are unable to bear the fulness and must...

    If you read all the letters they are all addressed to the messengers, who then impart the promises to the church. To strictly say this only applies to the messenger is to deny the church to open the door to Christ and the ability receive the rewards associated with the letters. You have to take...

    Latter Rain

    Because understanding this is the antidote to complacency and the doctrines that build complacency. Doctrines taught such as eternal security, which I agree is true, must be arrived at and experienced by every believer and cannot be taught as doctrine, but we must come to the full assurance of...

    This is a problem many fundamentalists must come to terms with, myself included. It is called self reflection and being honest about ones own flaws. It is not that the text of the bible is the problem, but the teachings of men that dictate the meaning of the text, and close the word of God from...

    I think the seventh millennium began in 1998, we are in the darkness before the dawn as we speak. These are my opinions of course. I will share some of those timelines with you all some day when I have some time to find them all. They are stunningly accurate, and remember, the Hebrew luni/solar...

    Forgive me, I was not accusing you, that is a term from A.W. Tozer that describes a church of falling into textualism. I thought I had shared the link with you before about this, but here it is. It is short and well worth reading. No Revival without Reformation - A.W. Tozer - Sermon Index
