    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    As false as can be. The Holy Spirit is not progressively holy. The Spirit of God is holy. This might be a brain strain to some. And you are adding words to the bible...just like Luther did. There is no such thing as a "positional' (ie false) holiness. That's Gnosticism. Bono sang a lyric...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    The Holy Spirit sanctifies people because the Spirit is...wait for......Holy! The problem arises for people who think the Holy Spirit is only partially holy...or else the Holy Spirit is happy to live with sin...so they can claim to have the Holy Spirit in a partial way....or have a partially...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    That ARE sanctified. Correct. There is no process of sanctification. There is no mixture in holiness. Either one is holy or not. A little leaven leavens the whole batch. I don't know why this is never understood. Perhaps because so few have ever experienced holiness. Holiness is about...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    Merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. :musicn2:

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Only when you limit God to your own experience. You deny the written word, instead interpreting it to satisfy your religious aspirations. Does the blood of Jesus cleanse us from SOME sin (or all sin). In Him is SOME sin (or no sin). We actually reveal our experience with God by how we either...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    All this obsession with salvation. The bible uses sozo to mean more than that. Normally it means to make well or preserve. The jailer thought that he would be put to death for letting the prisoners out. Paul assured him that he and his family would be spared (not eternal saved) by trusting in...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    This is so. The Jews never would have dreamed to make God's Spirit into a separate person than Himself. As Paul says...is the spirit of a man different from a man?

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    But people tend to resist the love of God as it rebukes and chastens them. It's like the Sting lyric that says...like a fish caught in dry land trying to avoid any helping hand.

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    Amen. My purpose is always to exhort people to go deeper into Christ. Too many are in Christ but only superficially...they're still in Jesus's mouth...not swallowed yet...therefore they can be spit out. (Laodiceans). Naturally the flesh will react against the truth. But to be fully clothed in...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    The doctrine so many espouse is so poor and self-serving. No fear of the Lord, just a smug self-assurance based on a self-confirmation. And to top it off they say that I'm the one with wanky doctrine. The nerve. Ah, but the bible says that in these times that sound doctrine would not be endured...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    You mean "bible Jesus." Remember that many will say Lord Lord. Now's your chance to get it right. Will you? No way. You don't understand the gospel at all. Read the Exodus story and learn how God sees things. Did He hate the Jews? Why did He condemn them? Does he love spoiled rich Westerners...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Not so fast. Naming and claiming doesn't produce holiness. We have been given a free sample of grace in order to seek Christ and His kingdom realm. Of course few will enter in. BTW thanks for listening to the video. I don't suppose you liked it or subscribed... If I said that if you are on...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    You are exposing yourself here...that's all. And in English we say "fall prey". You need instruction and help. Your world is upside down.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Actually you are following me...trying to spoil my threads...by crowing things that detract from the topic at hand. Since you can't actually discuss things based on the bible you attack me personally...like others do here. I can handle the negativity...but some here are trying to understand the...

    Have We become repentance-proof?

    So then what do we say of those who are repentance-proof? Those who claim that repentance is for sinners only...by claiming that God can no longer see their sins....which are forgiven even as they are committed?

    Apparently there are threads in the making that will encourage you to remain as you are. Sound good?

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    LOL I'm not speaking the truth so that you will follow me, I trying to get you to follow Christ for real. Somewhere you know you are wrong, you are simply daring people to catch you in it. But I respond on a public forum so that the arguments will reveal the truth and how people try avoiding...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    When you realize you have wrongly appropriated all the lofty things you claim for yourself. That's religious pride. And you didn't read the bible verses I posted. If you understood them you would fear God and depart from iniquity.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    You are destroying righteousness to justify yourself because of what you believe. You are not understanding either the righteousness of Abraham...or of God. There are bible verses about what you are doing. Is. 5: 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for...
