I have been in church situations where perfect liberty is present to do anything; but the Lord keeps everything in the proper order.

@BreadOfLife, Please realize that the Spirit of the Lord is sevenfold and that there are seven churches in the book of Revelation. In the church that you are designated as, you will receive the reward if you keep His works unto the end.

If that is the case, then Romans 3:23 isn't the gospel truth of the matter. And neither is 1 John 1:8.

This person in particular, his salvation is very delicate, he is offended easily; and everyone in the church walks on eggshells around him and caters to him so that he will not forsake the assembly.

I'm not certain that I'm following you... Tongues is a gift of the Holy Ghost. Those who say tongues are of the devil are attributing what is of the Holy Ghost to the devil. That is the primary definition of blasphemy of the Holy Ghost. But I am not the judge of those people, Jesus is. So I...

I am in a situation right now where a brother held a grudge against me for the period of a whole year and then started the process of wanting to have me cast out of the church out of the blue; because he has the spirit of unforgiveness and because I tried to minister to him on the issue. Now...

I should not be so quick to judge people who do not believe in tongues; as I believe that these boards themselves may in fact be a fulfillment of what is written in Malachi: Mal 3:16, Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of...

I thought I was the one who had it wrong all of a sudden...

If you are trying to have your brother cast out of the church, consider that you may be acting out of malice.

Mormon?

It also comes back to the fact that being drawn by the Father to Christ is different from being given by the Father to Christ. When a man is drawn, he is enabled to make an unhindered decision for or against Christ. When he makes the decision for Christ, the Father gives that man to Jesus; and...

In that you are trying to say that a man cannot have faith until after he is born again; yet Romans 5:2 indicates that men are not born again until after they have faith. We have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand. You are saying we can be born again apart from the grace of the...

This would indicate that they do not become spiritually alive until they receive the message/believe.

Judging righteous judgment means you will not judge a servant of the Lord; because if your tongue rises in judgment against a servant of the Lord, your tongue will be condemned. So in harmony of the verses, the only judgment that is permissible is that of those who are clearly unbelieving...

In the kjv, 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 states that when sanctified wholly, we will be preserved blameless in spirit and soul and body unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. I contend that this is the faithful rendition of the verse. We can be sanctified wholly in this life, a sanctification...

I'm really interested in your take on this as a hyper-Calvinist. How does one receive the new birth?

What I believe is that faith in Jesus is the way to receive the new birth. You are the one who doesn't understand the nature of things. Instead of making blanket statements about your opponent that attempt to discredit (which is a logical fallacy), you should show how Romans 5:2 doesn't teach...

Let's keep to what's relevant (because I know that you might go off on a tangent and argue that context is everything; and I would win that argument). Show in this instance how the context nullifies the meaning of the verses in question, and you will also win the other argument, killing two...

I don't need to work through the chapters because what is written in the verses are plain for all to see. Forgive me for being lazy. I don't feel that I have to look at the entire passage because the verses in question are clear; and I also believe that every Bible verse stands on its own as a...
