    No Heaven if you don't mortify the deeds of the flesh

    1Pe 5:10, But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 1Pe 5:11, To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 1Pe 5:12, By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto...

    No Heaven if you don't mortify the deeds of the flesh

    An answer is that the only way we can mortify those aspects of sin spoken of in the passage above is through the grace of the Lord...that we do it because we are filled with the Holy Spirit and because it is the Lord who works within us both to will and to do according to His good...

    No Heaven if you don't mortify the deeds of the flesh

    I was also saying that I believe that the scripture in the OP does not teach salvation by works (as it cannot; for scripture cannot contradict itself); even though you, in looking at it considered that that is indeed what it was teaching. It is impossible that the OP's scripture could be...

    No Heaven if you don't mortify the deeds of the flesh

    While we must compare scripture with scripture in order to get the complete teaching of the Holy Ghost, I do believe that every scripture verse/passage stands on its own as a bastion of truth. Otherwise you cannot read the holy scriptures and get the proper understanding apart from knowing the...

    No Heaven if you don't mortify the deeds of the flesh

    It seems to me that the OP was merely quoting scripture. And while I do not believe that scripture teaches salvation by works, that is what it is indeed doing if indeed the OP is teaching salvation by works. Of the other thing I am in agreement. Our judgment of fruit in other people ought to...

    No Heaven if you don't mortify the deeds of the flesh

    Zec 6:5, And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. Zec 6:6, The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth...

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    Yes, someone else also found them and provided the link. Proverbs 18:13 might be a word of wisdom for you. I take it to mean that we ought to read through all of the posts before responding to any of them.

    mormons exposed.

    Unbiblical. While He exists throughout eternity, being God, and having ascended to exist outside of time (Psalms 90:2, Isaiah 57:15); He was also begotten in the incarnation. Luk 1:35, And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest...

    No Heaven if you don't mortify the deeds of the flesh

    The holy laughter phenomenon has been brought about by an emphasis on freedom (cf. 2 Corinthians 3:17). I have been a part; and I also do not perceive the spirit involved as being demonic. They do often commission holy angels to accomplish works of healing. If there is a demonic spirit that...

    No Heaven if you don't mortify the deeds of the flesh

    @amadeus: If you do believe in one God and are a Christian, how does that not translate into a Trinity? Do you believe in the Deity of Christ? The Father is obviously God. And the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4) and also a Person with a mind and who makes intercession for us. I don't want...

    mormons exposed.

    Alright, maybe it is my choice. I feel compelled by the love of the Lord to answer. God the Father is outside of time; He descended into time and took on the nature of human flesh. From outside of time God sent His voice to say of the Lord at His baptism, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am...

    No Heaven if you don't mortify the deeds of the flesh

    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. Rom 13:8, Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Rom 13:9, For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery...

    No Heaven if you don't mortify the deeds of the flesh

    Col 3:14, And above all these things put on charity (love), which is the bond of perfectness. 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. Heb 10:14, For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that...

    No Heaven if you don't mortify the deeds of the flesh

    It is disrespect to the Lord not to capitalize words that refer to Him.

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    Very serious; and I fail to see how the verse you quoted in any way refutes it.

    Philippians 2:12

    Romans 7:14-25 is referring to babes in Christ; compare Romans 7:14 to 1 Corinthians 3:1-3. She has me on ignore. Someone might want to copy and paste.

    Understanding Romans 6 is critically important

    And they were right to do so. However, in adhering to translations that say "morning star", you deny the Lord that bought you, teaching by implication that Jesus is satan. Even after I told you that believing as you preach it might have the effect of destroying my faith, you continued. I...

    If you will capitalize he and spirit as you should, I will attempt to answer your question.

    No Heaven if you don't mortify the deeds of the flesh

    Fact is, LDS doctrine has the Trinity wrong. But in understanding the emphasis of Oneness Pentecostals on the Oneness of the Lord, I have come to understand the Trinity much more clearly...to the point that there is no doubt in my mind that I understand the doctrine quite well.
