    entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

    What is the redemption of the body to you? I believe that previously (before I showed you that it is obtainable in this life) you would have interpreted it to mean a glorified body. But now that I have showed you that it is obtainable, the only option is to believe that it is, in fact...

    True Trinity.

    No, 1 x 1 = 1. I'll ask you what is the difference between "partake" and "take part". And also, how does this "answer" the virgin birth? is this a doctrine that you are in denial of? I agree.

    Law Rules—Grace Lives

    Scripture interprets scripture; and therefore when scripture refers to sin it is referring to the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4).

    entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

    Eph 5:30, For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Eph 5:31, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. Eph 5:32, This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 1Jo...

    entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

    The adoption, or the redemption of the body (Romans 8:23) is possible in this life; for the Galatians had obtained it (Galatians 4:5-7). Rom 8:23, And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption...

    Law Rules—Grace Lives

    These things are found in the NT law (the Sermon on the Mount). I would say that the NT law is what is in the heart of God; whether it has been revealed to mankind or not.

    What Need I of Grace?

    Paul was using the literary tactic, in Romans 7:14-25, identifying himself as carnal, in order to define carnality. In Romans 6 and in Romans 8, Paul refutes the idea that the Romans 7:14-25 life is the life of the normal Christian. See specifically Romans 6:14-16. Here, we are told that it...

    What Need I of Grace?

    Christ died on the Cross to deal with our fallen nature. Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29, 1 John 1:7. Romans 6:6, Colossians 2:11, Galatians 5:24. Galatians 2:20.

    What Need I of Grace?

    While it is possible to cease from abiding in Christ, I believe that the ideal is that we should abide 24/7. And I don't think that this is impossible, see Luke 1:37 (kjv). Luk 1:37, For with God nothing shall be impossible. I have more thoughts on this issue: entire sanctification is an...

    entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

    If you are a sinner, the Lord will not hear your prayer to save you: Jhn 9:31, Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Therefore if you want the Lord to hear your prayer of salvation, you must repent of being a...

    entire sanctification revisited.

    ****bump**** victory! :D

    entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

    Jhn 15:4, Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Jhn 15:5, I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do...

    Peter's Vision

    Gen 9:3, Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. Luk 11:41, But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. Rom 14:14, I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    No, I have merely taken from the scripture what it plainly teaches. You are trying to make a point based on the fact that a word is missing. I believe that that is a logical fallacy. Why did she eat? Did God force her to do it? Or, did she choose to eat it? Is there a third option that I...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    You left out John 6:28: Jhn 6:28, Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus makes His statement in answer to this question. Therefore, He is saying, "If you are going to insist that you will have salvation by works, the only work (that you can do)...

    Law Rules—Grace Lives

    This is in direct denial of the scriptures that I referenced to you. The law is something that exists in the heart of God even before it was given. It is a moral standard that has applied to God throughout eternity as well as to all of His creation. The revelation of it was simply not given...

    True Trinity.

    I have done so before, and will do so again, below. I want to say that Father,Son, and Holy Ghost are not separate; although they are distinct. Distinct; not separate.

    According as I also am of Christ

    Romans 7:6 and 2 Corinthians 3:6 tell us that it is no longer the letter of the law that we are bound by; but rather now that we are in Christ, we are obedient to the spirit of the law (see also Hebrews 7:12). Christ Himself did indeed violate the sabbath on not a few occasions (read Exodus...

    What Need I of Grace?

    It has been said that this is the case because if you believe in Jesus, what you want to do will be different than what it was before; because now you have holy desires and inclinations. I would say however that the flesh is sinful and that this produces a desire for sin...and therefore a...

    Indeed. These were the same Judaizers.
