    Jesus' Instruction to the church in Ephesus

    The Temple Tax 24After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?” 25“Yes, he does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think...

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    This is where Scripture disagrees with you...Scripture tells us we are sealed with the Holy Spirit upon belief.

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    Throwing stones would be an improper analogy. You see it was the self righteous that lined up to throw stones at the sinner...you are the self righteous one. Just to speak a little to you personally, I do not agree with you theologically. I speak to your spirit of pride out of love for I...

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    I would like to respond to this although I believe it requires its own thread so as to respect the OP. Do you want to start it?

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    Here is a great case showing where those in Christ did sin and are not immediately rejected by Jesus. They are told to repent. Interesting enough John also wrote Revelation. This coincides with the teaching of the Church and not that of Johnlove. Certainly the same church that was called...

    Does one need to study the bible?

    These verses are not provision for the flesh (for a fleshly, sinful life), because that man is indeed deceived. These verses are provision for spiritual men that still live in the flesh. All the best, Axehead This is a clear depiction of someone who exults himself in the spirit of pride...

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    I wonder did either of you actually read Ephesians 2? 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved- 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him...

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    Johnlove, Matthew 7:21-23 was not spoken to everyone. This was spoken to Jews not Christians. You have built a false theology by picking portions of Scripture that adhere to your alleged personal experience disregarding that which does not support your beliefs. Is this truly what the Holy...

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    This is still disproving your false theology... 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his...

    Wormwood, The spirit of pride and arrogance is unteachable.

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    I already know this is your teaching, but lets go back to that same verse in Ephesians 1 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we...

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    I am not looking to refute Scripture... I have posted the Ephesians Scripture, in full context, and shown where the Holy Spirit indwells upon belief. You teach something different than Scripture. Why?

    Ephesians 1 Are you actually reading what I post?

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    Yes it is. This is written by Paul through the Holy Spirit to believers in Ephesus.

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    I do read where it says "In Him"...lets look to what is being spoken about in the context of this actual letter as opposed to some cut and pasting of the Scriptures. 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places...

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    Johnlove, You have yet to speak anything to the Scripture I presented. Neither have I spoken to what I believe, except that you have proven yourself to have a haughty spirit. This is evident throughout all the threads you have started. Let's redirect this again to the scripture at hand...

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    Johnlove, I will slow this way down for now concentrating on Scripture. You have said that you proved me wrong with the above verse...yet John 14:21 speaks of God's love not the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Your haughty spirit precedes your false teachings... This is Scripture.... 13 In...

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    You are wrong Johnlove... Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 1 John 4:15 We are sealed with the Holy Spirit upon belief until the day of redemption...I have presented the Scripture to support this...you have no Scripture to say the Holy Spirit...

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    Then why did you sin a few threads ago? You tried to teach us Jesus is cursed along with His Church and you were so filled with pride and arrogance you would not receive correction. Remember teachers are held more responsible, and you are teaching... As to doing God's will and following His...
