A born again spirit? This is a good thing...and a newborn baby has great potential ....but cannot work with his/her Dad in that state. There is a process to salvation that entails being weaned of the flesh. A baby needs to be weaned of its mother in order to be able to travel with Dad and be...

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Gal. 2:20 The above verse says a lot about having an inner man and an outer man. "I...

There is a deeper stream of life than this that we are called to...and that is experienced when we personally enter into Christ. The one who is crucified no longer has his/her reaction to things. Being dead in Christ means being a bond-slave or possessed of Christ. This goes much further than...

The inner man and the outer man.

The great delusion is that this is what it seems to be. That's why its called a delusion. Luther was not a prophet nor an apostle. He was a frustrated monk who grew tired of waiting on the Lord and receiving nothing. Like so many imitators of Cain in the church throughout its history...he...

The supposed Greek text that this was translated from was corrupted by Erasmus in the 15th century. At first he refused to do the bidding of the clerics...but when they presented him with a manuscript that had been added to with a look of authenticity...then he was no longer able to resist...

That was only the first step into the great delusion. The second step away from the truth was taken by Luther. He built on the first error by changing Paul's meaning to deviate people from the path of life. Today, basically all Protestants read Paul through the mind of Luther. The gospel was...

We see the desire of the Roman religious hierarchy to control the people in their adding to the canon of scripture. The earliest such deviation we find in Matt. 28:19...changing the original text from "baptizing them in My name"...to "baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the...

The Roman church added those verses in in the 15th century. They are called the Johannine comma. Johannine Comma - Wikipedia

The outer man has no place in the salvation of God. As such many believers...who hold on to their "whole" self...will react against the further step of being crucified with Christ in order to walk in holiness. People who live from a religious outer man will argue that sanctification can be...

Very good observation! The text you cited is from Joshua 3:16. It says "in Adam" (be-Adam). So the second blessing...or baptism of the Spirit, takes us from being IN Adam to being IN Christ. Being crucified in the inner man allows us to cross over into Zion in order to abide in Christ...and be...

Putting on is after your heart has been changed. When you have begun renewing your mind you will see that you still need to put on the New Man as instructed by Paul. Otherwise you will have countless questions and reasons to remain exactly where you are...trusting that a sample of grace is...

Regeneration is by way of an open channel to God...in order to be led by the Spirit...like the Israelites in the wilderness. Now entering into the Promised Land is another matter. We are given the "earnest" (aravon) of the Spirit as a downpayment or sample of the full product. The root of...

Not my life but kingdom life...the life that is found IN Christ. You have to lift your gaze higher to understand spiritual life.

We are baptized into Christ by the Spirit of God. A Spirit baptism. The water baptism is in Jesus name. That baptism brings us into the Body of Christ which is a corporate entity. From there we choose either to go to the throne of grace...or not. Walking in the Spirit is based on a spiritual...

I'm using the word Zion in a spiritual way....to show how Zion (replacing the natural Zion) is another term for the New Jerusalem (the spiritual version of natural Jerusalem) A simple study (and some spiritual discernment) makes this evident) It is both. We live a spiritual life by...

That is an understatement. Sola Scriptura was a religious convention that sought to eliminate the influence of tradition being equal to the weight of Scripture in the Roman church. It was one religious idea trying to fix another religious idea. But people were fooled...then and now...into...

Welcome to the forum Sue. :) <><

You are not looking at this in a spiritual way...so you will not understand the parallels between testaments. You should ask God for understanding.

Your question doesn't go with the verse you selected. Can you buy a house after you die? Why not? Can you develop character in the grave? or does our physical death end our time of training? People will always confuse the verses about perfection NOW and the inheriting of eternal life with a...
