When we become born again our life makes a complete turn around supernaturally. And instead of thoughts about God that are on the back burner, now they are all you think about. It is like falling in love. He is never out of my thoughts and I can clearly hear His voice. And, yes, all desire to...

It shows us that God, Himself, became man and Savior, and died for us to crucify the old sin nature we inherited from Satan through Adam, and has empowered us to live godly lives by not only His power but His example.

Yes, that is what happens when the power of God who created the whole universe comes into you. And yes, all that Paul wrote about those who were still living under the law and the struggle he knew from experience that they were wrestling with he claimed he was now free of in Romans 8:2 because...

Truther all of this is WHEN they were IN THE FLESH. Not when they were IN THE SPIRIT. Read verse 5 again. That is us. After that is what it was like when we were in the flesh. We were wretched. But now we are free.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was...

I told you to start reading at verse 5 of Romans 7. You didn't so therefore are staying confused. Start over the right way this time. A born again Christian is no longer in the "flesh." Paul uses flesh as meaning carnality which is the sin nature. Chapter 7 is the conclusion of an 8 chapter...

You quoted 1 John 1:8 which is someone who obeys the laws but has never repented of their hidden sins such as coveting. Everyone without Christ still has their sin nature. The next verse is how to have the Holy Spirit of Christ who takes away all unrighteousness, even that at our core, our sin...

We must have different versions of the Bible! LOL And what verse is that anyway? My Bible has Paul saying we are dead to sin, and we are not in the flesh but in the Spirit if the Spirit of God indwells us. Romans 6:6-7; Romans 8:9. That's the divine power of grace. That's what I have...

The Holy Spirit qualifies you with power to no longer commit sins of willful lawlessness. But it is not a remission of willful sins you commit in the future. Only our past sins were forgiven, 2 Peter 1:9, and then our old man, the sin nature, was taken away Romans 6:6-7 and 1 John 3:5. After our...

That is at the beginning, not in continuum. Do you get baptized everyday?

I don't have that problem. I even felt my sin nature (the old man) leave my body. It was like a heaviness, and after it left I felt light as a feather. That was 45 years ago. I have never felt like I wanted to sin since, and satan can't touch me.

Where does it say that? That is not true. I've heard many say that but they are wrong.

I only pray what God tells me to pray. And they are all answered. But I can always pray in the Spirit.

Freedom from sin is NOW. Romans 6:6-7. I'm the least, and I know God.

What "carnal mind" are you speaking of for a Christian? That is the old man who was nailed to the cross of Jesus. We now have the mind of Christ 1 Corinthians 2:16. The two tongues are individual without interpretation Mark 16:16-18, and the tongues for the profit of all in 1 Corinthians 12...

No, the New Covenant took effect on the Day of Pentecost. It is the ministry of the Spirit. The Old Covenant was the ministry of sin and death. And yes, it was with Israel, but then God commanded that the unclean meats are no longer unclean and were then eligible to be born of the Spirit also...

I understand what you mean about some Christians. They are believing as long as you believe in Jesus you can do as you please. Or they can overcome sin without the help of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Neither removes sin from our nature. BTW, Paul didn't have to crucify the old man daily? It...

That is correct.

Romans 8:1-9 and the whole chapter of Romans 6 should be studied together to get almost the complete teaching of the New Covenant. I say almost because neither explains why Romans 7:14-25 is no longer regarding us who have been born again of the Holy Spirit. What is missing is the prophecy of...

Sorry, but that started out sounding like you knew there were two types of UNKNOWN tongues, but you erroneously believe one is known tongues. And @Rich R agrees - I'm shocked! No they are both unknown to the speaker and to everyone around them. The ONLY way they are understood is by the...
