Have you read Galatians?

The entire book of Galatians. They were walking in their own righteousness not God's which is by faith . There is a righteousness of our own--then we're not in Christ. This is why Paul says to "honor your parents in the Lord"--"in the Lord", meaning, "remain in the Lord while doing it".

I'm hitting the bullseye, but it seems to you I'm missing because of your entrenched misconstructions of what Paul had to say. It's really that simple.

Soils absolutely change. Lol you don't know anything about the topic apparently.

To be clear, good behavior itself is not what remaining in Christ consists of--its faith in His Name and loving others. The Galatians had good behavior but they were not remaining in Christ. They weren't walking in faith.

I am not using terms in ways the Bible doesn't--they were saved from physical slavery by Passover as a type and shadow of our salvation from spiritual slavery by "Christ our Passover Lamb".

The life is in His Son, thus only those who remain in Him continue to receive the sap in the Vine. Please clarify. Nope, Romans 6:14 says BECAUSE you're not under Law Sin will not be your master (you will not be its slave)--Ro 7 depicts a ma being mastered by Sin because he's under Law, as he...

No, not saying you're "guilty" (I know you know God), but, if you want to use "guilt by association" to describe your inaccuracy in Scriptural interpretation, I'd say it's more like "guilt by dissociation", aside from all the Scripture that cannot be squared with your views. If the Early Church...

@Eternally Grateful I am waiting to hear your gobbledygook.

Just as they were saved from physical slavery by the Passover, but, still, they sinned after having been saved, instead of doing God's will, so they fell under God's wrath and forfeited the promise, so, also, the one who is saved from spiritual slavery by "Christ our Passover Lamb", today, must...

Nope, the person who remains qualifies to receive the Spirit, because the Spirit is "in His Son" (1 Jn 5:11)--as it says, the branches that abide in Him continue to receive the "sap" that is only in the Vine.

I didn't--you tried denying that "remain in Him" applied to "true believers" by disqualifying the "little children" as "not true believers". No, in reality, the command to "remain in Him" applies to believers--and we know we remain by keeping His commands (John 15; 1 Jn 3:23,24). The soil...

He doesn't assert that; rather, he reveals your incoherence, because he says "IF", just as in 2 Co 13:5, where "unless you fail the test [of faith]". Yup, "not seeing" is your specialty. No, what follows is a precise breakdown of "when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, aroused by the...

The "remain in him by keeping His commands" is a general rule for all branches that issue from the Vine; among those branches that issue from the Vine, some are "children", some are "young men", some are "fathers". Not difficult. A disciple, a branch, being thrown in the fire for not bearing...

I asked Let's hear your gobbledygook answer.

Impotent complaints against God's Word.

Are you saying Jesus was baptized "into John"? Was Jesus "in John" as we are "in Christ"? Makes no sense. No, being "in Christ" is juxtaposed against being "in the flesh" (Ro 7). Christ "became a life giving spirit" (1 Co 15), so we are "in the spirit, not in the flesh" when we are "in Christ"...

They were saved from physical slavery in Egypt by Passover. We are saved from spiritual slavery in satan's kingdom by Christ our Passover. They sinned after salvation and were destroyed under wrath and forfeited the promise. If we sin after salvation the same goes for us. Being saved from...

Yup, it's obedience, because God's command is you believe in the Name of His Son (1 Jn 3:23). God gives a command, and it is obedience to do it.

LOL So John means one thing, and Paul means something else? Are you saying that because you finally realize John is explicit that we remain "in Him" by keeping His commands? Denying they speak of the same thing to preserve your doctrine. Interesting "exegetical" tactic.
