You are missing something important here. You are up against a brick wall because you are arguing against Progressive Theology which has quite a few followers here. You need to do your homework. I am not a Progressive by the way.

I will answer this one, but note, I am not about to enter debate with you as 1) I do not wish to argue 2) I am unwell atm. Some use this verse – if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves 1 John 8, to justify their position but they are taking it out of context as John 1 was written to...

OK my examples have not been very good. I meant that there is a stage of not being led that is not sin itself, like following instinct. I'm getting confused now. it is hard to relate to that period exactly as it is really in a diferent realm. I will give it more thought when I am less busy later.

It has never been self satisfaction . It has been self hatred or glorifying God for what He has done, alone, with no help from me! It took many many years before I was responding the correct way and face down in the dirt. That 18 months I never once thought it was due to my efforts and knew it...

Yes John did not imply that we never sin again. But not in that state. (2 Corinthians 4:7-18) 1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized...

Let me quote you what George Fox said in his Journal: "Now was I come up in spirit through the flaming sword, into the paradise of God. All things were new, and all the creation gave another smell unto me than before, beyond what words can utter. I knew nothing but pureness and innocency and...

Obeying what our minds tell us, is walking in the flesh. Flesh is all things that come from our humanism. We are to be led and taught by the Spirit. That does not mean in mindlessness. The mind is to be a servant.

The thing is, that when walking in perfection, one cannot sin: King James Bible Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1John 3:9 There is no sin in this as one has been translated into holiness. There is no...

Yes I agree, there is a difference, and a vision of the glorified Christ can be the start of the translation or just a fleeting blessing. People ask how can one fall from that state? The quickest way is to rely in their own strength ie the flesh by using their intellect instead of relying on...

*Hugs* This is a long shot, but have you looked into the possibility of undiagnosed autism with or without ADHD? I have been though similar in my life.

Depicted in the Transfiguration and called the Heavenly Vision in the early church.

Hi I am not finding a church that teaches it as an event. The Orthodox teach it as a process like all the other churches apparently, in these modern times. In the past, Orthodoxy, Wesleyism, the Sally Army, Nazarines and Quakerism taught it but usually after a revival and the next generation...

Interesting thank you.

Another verse I have forgotten to mention concerning ther claims of PC is: Jude 1:3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was ONCE FOR ALL delivered to the...

There is no need for me to be told how bad the modern church is. It is being destroyed and the so called followers of Christ are to blame. None are preaching the truth and I can find no-one, repeat no-one who is walking in the Spirit today. It is all apostate. That means according to scripture...

A little yeast will raise a whole batch of dough. This common saying comes from biblical passages like Galatians 5:9 and 1 Corinthians 5:6, meaning a small influence can change everything. The movement is radicalising folk to think the opposition (traditionals), are all judgmental but that is...

Absolutely. Most have not gone on to Perfection and therefore do not have the power of God (Holy Spirit) in them. All we need is for the church to listen to the teaching and react to it in repentance.

The movement so named is what I am hoping to discuss, not the normal interpretation of one word

Moving beyond 'Jesus is the only way' is progress?

Agreed that we are on a spiritual journey until we reach maturity or the full stature of Christ as the Bible tells us. But your idea conflicts with 2 Thessalonians 2:15, where believers are urged to stand firm and hold fast to the teachings passed on either by word of mouth or by epistle, if...
