I believe that there can indeed be a cross in being wealthy. Keeping your soul in such a situation may in fact be a difficult task. But Paul said that he can do all things through Christ who strengthened him...and that "all things' included abounding and being full. What? he needed Christ's...

I think one of them is Acts of the Apostles 23:3-5. I will leave the other passages for Randy to give to you.

I believe that this issue has been a cause for division in the body of Christ. Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship is not an aberrant group. However, they do touch on every aspect of God's word, including those places where prosperity is spoken of in promise by the Lord. To deny these...

"prosperity" is not the gospel nor is it a gospel. "Health and wealth" is not the gospel and neither is it a gospel. However, these things are spoken of in the word of the Lord to a limited degree; And teaching the reality of them at times when a teacher is in that place in God's word where...

I think that 2 Chronicles 32:31 is a good verse to look at on this issue. God left Hezekiah for a season in order that Hezekiah might know what was in his own heart. God has done this with me before in times past also; and I have found that apart from the Holy Spirit I am the worst of sinners...

I would say, however, that the love of Christ is a gift of the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5) and therefore it is not kept through our striving to keep it. It is kept through simple faith in Jesus and our abiding in Him.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Your flesh, or your old man, wants to do all of those. In my new man, or in the Spirit, I don't want to do any of those. But I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, there dwells no good thing (Romans 7:18). Denying that you have a sin nature is a denial of one of the basic concepts of...

That is contrary to what it says in Galatians 5:17. The verse in question is obviously speaking of someone who has the Spirit of the Lord dwelling in them. Take the time to read the verse in the kjv. Gal 5:17, For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and...

It's too bad that you don't like to quote the scriptures to make your point. Because there can't be any scriptures that would support your pov, since they would then be in contradiction to the following scripture: Heb 8:8, For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the...

I'm saying that those who walk according to the Spirit don't sin even though they might want to.

No; I am saying that the person who is born of God cannot sin. Therefore when we compare the scriptures what does it say about whether we would sin if we could do so and there was no restraint from the Holy Ghost? Ye "cannot" do the things that ye "would". (Galatians 5:17). Gal 5:17, For the...

Tongues is a spiritual gift given to New Testament believers. Those graffed in become members of the body of Christ. It is only a basic given of common sense that those who are branches in the vine, who is Jesus Christ, are members of the body of Christ, the church. Paul was truly the...

Does it say there that the body that is dead because of sin does not have indwelling sin?

Galatians 5:17 is about those who have the Spirit of God; and it says that they cannot do the things that they would.

Is the temple of God located in the lake of fire? It seems to me that the promise to Philadelphian overcomers (found in Revelation 3:12) is different than the promise to Smyrnian overcomers (found in Revelation 2:11). Of course, when God says to Smyrna, "you shall not be hurt of the second...

Tongues are a part of the dispensation of grace. The olive tree is in fact Israel; but the branches on it are all members of the church. Those who are graffed in are all believers in Christ and therefore members of the body of Christ. It doesn't fail. You continue to seek to dispense a...

God said that to Jeremiah; not necessarily to me. But if it is to me, I know that I must still fulfill my ministry even as Jeremiah fulfilled his. Though Jeremiah changed no one in his ministry of truth, it will be said on that day that he was faithful to give the message that God had given to...

I do.
