    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    This sounds like inclusivism to me. When did you realize you had "tendencies" towards other men? You will be reminded of this... as you wail. You are a judge...but a false one. You will be judged as you have judged. But you will find out that God doesn't respect lip service. Are you saying...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Yes...I fully agree with the "second blessing" and its importance in experiencing the higher walk. I don't know what others who have actually been baptized in the Spirit think along the lines of reformation theology. Being right -hearted doesn't make you right-headed. There is a greater...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    We have different terminology perhaps...since those testimonies usually date back over 100 years or so. But I agree with those who testify to the "second blessing." Although that's not my terminology. In those days...holiness revival days...people would "tarry at the altar" until they received...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Not so. You are not understanding the gospel. Jesus proclaimed the gospel before His death and resurrection..saying "the kingdom of God is at hand" What does that mean? He came to proclaim liberty to the captives. That means that through Christ we will be given access into the eternal kingdom...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Those who are looking to be built up in the religious outer man have not long to search. The false ministers and false prophets abound. There are even telephone ministries that you can call...that will tell you how blessed you are, how much God loves you...God only wants peace for you ...you...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    The mystery of the gospel is still a mystery to you. You hate the word of God...that's why I posted what Jesus said...which you also hate. You have always failed.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    You take promises for those who undertake the higher walk..and steal that away for those who walk in the futility of their own minds. The confidence we are to hold on to is for those who are such from the inner man...not the outer religious man. You are taking...stealing actually... what is...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    That's backwards. If a person does not sin..do they still need to repent? You are not getting both sides of the equation...you have one truth cancelling out the other. That's a scheme invented by Luther...whom you follow. The gift of life in Christ doesn't cancel out the penalty of sin. Do...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    The gospel of the kingdom is prophesied by Isaiah "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    The opposite is true. The gospel is ONLY what I have described. Luther was NOT an author of the bible This is where your confusion comes from. You deny the power of the gospel...the very kind of people that Paul says we are to avoid.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    I agree. This is like peewee or something. I am not qualified in day-care so admittedly I may not be as accomodating as people wish ...to the antics here. Whether you believe it or not has no value whatsoever. The reason why you don't believe there is a higher walk is because you have ever...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    What you seek with your itching ears is easily and readily available in the US among the myriads of ministries that cater to middle-class religious posturers such as yourself. A dime a dozen really. And if I was to conform to the religious masses...how would that help you? I am very different...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Both are located IN Christ. One cannot grow up INTO Christ unless one abides IN Christ. This is the major league, the upper level of walk, that Paul describes in his epistles. Of course there is a parallel walk on the lower level of carnal strength. One must not confuse the two...unless one...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Maybe not you personally... Exactly! On this we agree. Yes. NO. Not the penalty of sin...the power of sin. The gospel is not in word but in power. You are missing the power. You deny the power. Admit it. You don't believe that through grace a regular man can walk as Jesus walked...without...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    That "amigo" guy has no understanding beyond a superficial religious ideology that makes him repeat the same endless rant over and over again. Let's try to find any sense in his rantings... He says something about ..."the dire need to believe on Christ"...as if that statement itself meant...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    I ask all the amateur "theologians" here. What is the difference between your smug assurance of salvation in your sins....and having a conscience that has been seared as with a hot iron? Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Well, just read the thread...without your blinders and you will se that my testimony by some...and by the approval of many...is seen as demonic or New Age. That shows how false so many are here. You are wrong about the gospel. God did not go soft on sin. You are fully indoctrinated into the...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    I knew you would respond with more lies, obscurantism, and deviations...as you also do in your periodic reading of the bible. If I don't defend myself...you say I agree with your foolish religiosity. If I do defend myself you say it's all about me. As the bible speaks of answering a fool or not...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    The way the carnal religious mind turns... :rolleyes: I am a follower of Christ...the real Christ..not some man-made religious version of Him. I'm wasting my time explaining this to you...but Try to consider that the early church had only the OT for a bible. The NT was in the form of...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    I think so too. But there is a great danger in opening up the bible to be interpreted by carnal religious interests. I think the Catholics were saying...let us clergy be the hypocrites for you. But with the reformation came...as well as a few who benefited greatly...what became a Pharisee...
