Please show, in each scripture that you have referenced, where the word epignosis is used.

Ecc 7:7, Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.

It should be clear that in the last days (and there is no guarantee of a pre-tribulation rapture; since Laodicea is the last days church) men will be among other things false accusers (2 Timothy 3:1-5); and that many who are in Christ will be identified as mentally ill by society, (Hosea 9:7, 2...

I want to add to my testimony. Recently I came across 1 John 3:8 and it hit me in a new way that led me to repent of a particular sin that was besetting me in my life. I now have complete victory over that sin. But it seems that the Calvary Chapel Movement is in opposition to the doctrine in...

Christ's righteousness, which was imputed through Phinehas's faith, that expressed itself in what Phinehas did in that situation.

Consider that there is no condemnation for them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. As Christians, we are not under the law (Romans 6:14), are dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and are delivered from the law (Romans 7:6). Also, consider the...

What you're missing is that this is not the requirement but the supernatural result of being truly born of God.

@BreadOfLife, the scriptures you have quoted are dealt with by the scriptures that I have brought up (1 John 3:6 and 1 John 2:17)...he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever...and whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not. Therefore, there is not going to be any departure from the faith for...

It seems to me that you are the one ignoring what is plainly taught by holy scripture.

There is a seed that can produce an entire tree in every cherry.

I did not quote it in support of sola fide per se...but rather to point out that salvation can indeed be a one-time, slam-dunk event in a person's life.

Concerning eternal security; it is perfectly compatible with the holiness of the believer, see 1 John 3:6 as compared to 1 John 2:17...he who does the will of God abideth for ever...now, how long is that? Can it ever come to an end? As for the rest of your post, Titus 3:5 is...

Mat 5:6, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Rom 5:19, For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 1Jo 3:7, Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth...

That doesn't matter to me...

Unfortunately, the church of Almighty God is headed up by a woman who thinks that she is the return of Jesus Christ; and they have also been known to kill people who will not join their ranks.

It's doable if you have the Holy Spirit. Rom 5:5, And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 1Jo 5:3, For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

There is a moral responsibility for superior nations to combat injustice when we see it in other nations; if we can make a difference.

It's fine with me that you are giving me the last word on this issue. Not everyone who says they are Christian is necessarily born again. And as I said before, there are two factions within Islam...moderate and radical. The moderates believe the first portion of the Islamic scriptures...and...

Satan is a defeated foe. Gen 3:14, And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: Gen 3:15, And I will put enmity between...

If a person is not regenerated, they are not a part of His true church. I'm afraid that you are going to have to make your case more clear to me as concerning Judas receiving authority to excommunicate or withhold communion from people. 1Co 6:11, And such were some of you: but ye are washed...
