Silly, the next verse tells you which "commandments." 1 John 3:23. No debate required. The point was answered prayer is the test in verse 22. Are your prayers answered or not? That gives you some idea if you are saved or not.

How? Will power like the Jews who memorized the Ten Commandments?

There is a test. 1 John 3:22.

Wow, you sure did misquote me. That's a bit shady. I actually said, It is not repenting of individual sins as we commit them as some use 1 John 1:9. No, it is realizing that there is no way we can ever stop sinning by ourselves, as those who Moses taught who tried to live under the Law. In...

I asked you what is destroyed, and you said without further explanation: the heart. The heart is our conscience. Did you read my longer post, #8? You didn't respond to any of it. BTW, I do not find anything in the New Testament that goes along with what you believe about us not being...

So you believe our conscience is destroyed? We can sin our heads off?

So what do you think it is that will be burned?

Yes, that is what Peter said too. 2 Peter 1:2-11 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by...

Hi Adam: One thing we must always do is look at the context. This passage is talking about ministers and the doctrines they may create. If they are wrong and teach an error, the error will burn, but if they are not completely a false teacher, they will be saved, but receive a stronger judgment...

In a nutshell this is the gospel and how the gospel works and why His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. He does it all! He is even the One who draws us to Himself. We just must open our hearts and become aware. Romans 1:16 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the...

Matthew 25: 31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. Matthew 24:37 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on...

Don't forget this passage where Jesus forgave sins. Mark 2:1-12 And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word...

Matthew, I'm not saying he hadn't been a thief ever. We were all sinners before Christ aren't we? Even if we are saved for eternity doesn't mean the laws of the land are that forgiving...to not have to face the cross.

Yes, being born from above is receiving the Holy Spirit from above. Romans 8:9 calls it the Spirit of Christ, and THAT is the New Covenant as I said.

Thank you very much for correcting my spelling. I know I need that. Why do you think Judas could possibly be Spirit-filled when the Day of Pentecost had not come yet? Nor was he still alive after Jesus arose and blew His Spirit into the living apostles in John 20 before the Day of Pentecost...

Re: Thomas You're kidding, right?

Yes, you can get the Holy Spirit by pure repentance. But the Spirit causes us to be obedient in all things, which would include baptism.

But you can know by his FRUIT.

Born again is of the New Covenant. Jesus died during the Old Covenant so your question is mute.

You must not study the scriptures much. You sound like you have apathy towards obedience, a sure sign you've listened to doctrines of demons. Sort of a take it or leave it attitude. Mark 16:16-18 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned...
