The one Spirit, descended from eternity into time, to take on human flesh, and then released from that flesh, from time back into eternity. This one Spirit, therefore, dwells next to Himself, side-by-side, in eternity. The personality of the Spirit before He descended is different from the...

The exposition of the verse in question is not a private interpretation. I have made it quite public. Of course it is subject to scrutiny. If you can show that my exposition is inaccurate based on the text, then by all means do so. But if, in my exposition, I am merely repeating what is...

You have it in the reverse order. We are justified unto obedience, not the other way around. Therefore, we do not obey in order to be justified; we are justified in order that we might become obedient. Again, none of this tells us that our obedience saves us. It rather teaches us when we...

The one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4), who is the Father (John 4:23-24), descended and took on human flesh (see John 14:7-11). This same Spirit was released back to the Father who inhabiteth eternity in Luke 23:46. So now, there are two Spirits inhabiting eternity who are the same, one Spirit...

I would merely say that the Father come in human flesh (i.e. the Son), no longer inhabits eternity; He is confined to a finite human body. And that as such, He is a distinct Person from the One who does inhabit eternity; especially since He has added to Him the nature of human flesh and...

Deliverance from the flood represents eternal salvation in that scripture.

My only point was that we did not exist in spiritual bodies millions of years ago, before we got our current physical bodies. It did not require a long teaching on the whole of the passage, in response; I find that the teaching is irrelevant to what I was even saying. The scripture teaches...

It is clearly what Paul was speaking about in that verse: 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, to wit, the redemption of our body.

2Co 3:12, Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 2Pe 1:20, Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. In Ephesians 2:9, Romans 11:5-6, Titus 3:4-7, and Romans 4:1-8, we find that the scripture clearly teaches that we...

1Co 15:46, Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

I didn't say that what the man did wasn't a grave sin in the eyes of the Lord... I was just saying that it should be clear that the man didn't commit actual incest by committing sexual immorality with his own mother.

It is clear from Galatians 4:5-7 that the adoption was accomplished in the Galatian believers. The adoption is defined as the redemption of the body in Romans 8:23. This is also spoken of in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Ephesians 5:30-32 w/ 1 John 3:5. As for this: It is answered very simply...

I would just encourage people to re-read posts #1-#4 of this thread. Link: Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

Then the moment we are no longer in Christ we do not have life any more? Then it wasn't eternal... Our eternal life begins the moment we believe. Consider... Jhn 5:24, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and...

Evidently you didn't read the whole of the post in question....because in it I have defined saving faith...and I don't think that I have given an improper definition. Warnings to the churches about gaining eternal death

Also, it should be clear that there is one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4), even the Father (John 4:23-24). However, it should be clear that the Spirit of truth, proceedeth from the Father (John 14:26) How then are they the same Spirit?.

Like I said, just pray that the Lord will receive them as sons (see Hebrews 12:6). That way, your prayer for vengeance isn't entirely malicious. It is written, Rom 12:19, Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will...

I would say to these scriptures, simply, that those who have a faith that is identified as that which might endure to the end, that these are the people who are sealed by the Holy Spirit and are motivated by Him in every behaviour; and therefore the behaviours that would produce spiritual death...

I think that my position on a BAC losing their salvation is, that John 5:24, John 6:47, and John 10:27-30 indicate that it isn't possible. The nature of everlasting life is that it will last for ever; and these verses promise everlasting life to those who believe. Such a life will never come...

I don't recall that...are you sure that it was me?
