Again, the word mature or complete can therefore be translated perfect. They were not sinless although they were perfect. And no, they did not earn their salvation, they abode in Christ through faith (see 1 John 3:6, John 15:1-6). So they needed Christ as a branch needs the vine to bear...

The Lord is most certainly able to completely do it for us in this life (see Romans 8:23, Galatians 4:5-7). I know that I am dispersing knowledge while at the same time concealing it (Proverbs 15:7, Proverbs 12:23). I think it will be sad if you don't avail yourself of this knowledge, however...

1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Romans 10:8-13 is how to become a Christian.

It's really too bad, because I qualified my statements later. There is no reason to fear for me; but if that is what is in your heart, by all means pray.

They might be considered to be hypocrites by the unbelieving world. Any excuse to continue in a life of sin!

Job, Samuel. Though it does not say that Job was sinless, it does say that he was perfect and upright. And as for Samuel, see 1 Samuel 12:3-5.

There are only 3 chapters in the epistle of Paul to Titus.

Hi, @CharismaticLady, We are not without the element of sin dwelling in our mortal flesh as believers (1 John 1:8, Galatians 3:22). However, that same element of sin can be rendered completely dead (Romans 7:8, Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24) so that it no longer has any say over our behaviour.

Some will be brought to that place of entire sanctification before the Lord comes; in order that the excuse given by unbelievers...that the church is full of hypocrites...might be stripped away.

Jesus is coming back for a glorious church, having neither spot, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:27). Hey, I love you too. No need to worry. My hope is completely in the shed blood of Christ; not in any holiness of my own.

That is not what it says in the scripture in question (Titus 2:14). Good day to you also. Be blessed.

He will continue until you die to self.

If you have been redeemed, then you have been redeemed from all iniquity, per what I said in post #627 (entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.).

I don't think that I have made it. Phl 3:12, Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Phl 3:13, Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do...

@BARNEY BRIGHT, I'm just going to pray for you that the Lord opens your eyes to see the truth (which I also pray for myself every time I open up the word of the Lord). You obviously have your opinions and nothing that I say to you is going to change that. But the Holy Spirit is able to do the...

I don't think that I have no sin; while I do believe that if I am born of God, I cannot sin (John's words under the Spirit's inspiration, not mine). Heb 10:14, For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. If the person is truly born of God, they will not sin again...

Rom 3:21, But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed (attested to) by the law and the prophets; Rom 8:4, That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom 8:7, Because the carnal mind is...

Disagree. The law has always been a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ by revealing sin to the unbeliever (Galatians 3:24, Romans 3:20). Agree.

I actually agree that the Spirit acts as a distinct Person (John 15:26); while at the same time there is only one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4); which is the Father (John 4:23-24), the Son (Colossians 1:27, 1 John 5:12) and the Holy Ghost (John 7:39, 2 Timothy 1:14). I do agree that Father, Son, and...

Nevertheless He was (and is ) in fact the Son of God; and so had the power of an endless life; which is the point of what I was saying. Nitpicking out the details is not going to change the message of what I have said to you. Also, Jesus is coming back to earth to rule and reign from...
