Yes, but how does that affect or change us?

Unfortunately, not everyone calling themselves a Christian has repented and been born again of the Spirit so cannot even begin to relate to Jesus taking away all desire to sin. What have you been taught that the New Covenant is? It seems you believe in the Old Covenant and have just added...

John 17 and Matthew 7 are two of my favorite chapters. John 15 also. One reason I have assurance of salvation even though I believe the doctrine of OSAS is heresy is because I experienced the filling of the Holy Spirit and according to the OP DO obey God. He has written His laws on my...

Now that would make Jesus a bully, so I do not believe that for an instant. Jesus said for us to be holy as He is holy. 1 Peter 1:16. If what you believe was true then it would be impossible. But it is not true, EG. Believe the truth: He provided the New Covenant that is so much easier than the...

I've thought about that two so seeing as the Word was in the beginning and knew who would accept Christ, it could be who endured to the end was WHO Christ KNEW in eternity.

It is not us that "overcomes" the old man in us. It is all Jesus. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our Faith. You see the old man becomes crucified with Christ. We don't hang ourselves on Christ's cross, nor in our own power do we resurrect ourselves. That is ALL supernatural, and very much...

Some have believed the perverted version of OSAS, and not the truth of 1 John 3:21-24. Study that and look who is actually assured of salvation? A person can receive the Holy Spirit and only practice the gifts, but never ABIDE IN JESUS. That is not only key to us being cleansed of our major...

I assume they had received gifts of the Spirit to operate in them and the only way to receive those is becoming born again of the Spirit and their desire to break the ten commandments is taken away. But even with the Spirit we have free will to grieve and even quench the Spirit. And Peter talks...

Can you say if you see it on anyone in the audience, or just on who is preaching when he is preaching.

Explain what we must do to be saved.

Romans 8:29-30 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also...

Oh my, is that what you think is the purpose of that verse? NO! What you are showing was IN SPITE OF THOSE GOOD THINGS Jesus didn't know them because of WHAT?

What does Matthew 7:22-23 have to do with works. Before Christ works cannot save us, but after salvation it is our natural inclination with Christ in us to do goo works. That is what sanctification is - set apart for good works.

I believe the same thing, but I've been walking in the Spirit for a long time (46 years). My will is to do what my conscience directs me to do and nothing against it. This is where we find our peace - no guilt. I love abiding in Jesus, and being directed by Him. I can ask for a gift of the...

Like the "angel Moroni" to Joseph Smith.

That could be true. That is why we must know what the Word of God says, and also the character of God in order to test the spirits. But if you are thinking of my gift to hear God's voice, it's Him. Everything He has ever said is righteous and comes to pass. 100%

Would you suggest we do not have free will, or what are you saying that would make more sense to you?

God's grace is the power of God INSIDE us. IF we have been born again of the Spirit. We are in the gospel of grace. Look at Romans 1:16-17, 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the...

Don't you read in context? 1 John 1:8 is explained in the next chapter: SAYS/SAY (John's Key Words) 1 John 2 4 He who SAYS, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 9 He who SAYS he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now...

Do NOT treat me disrespectfully. I don't care if you ARE two years old, you need to learn respect!
