The irony here is that the word translated as heritage from the Greek "Klarion" is where we get the word "clergy" from. Here the "clergy" would actually be the laity...if such a distinction actually existed. Of course this obscures the real distinction between those who are spiritual and those...

Actually, it is how deeply we are immersed in holiness. How deep must one wade in the water before we can say we are wet? The righteous still sin. These can receive touches from God as a drop of water that inspires and quickens the inner man. But just like baptism in water...a Spirit baptism is...

I think it's important to understand that the will is from the inner man. The flesh must convince us that doing wrong is required. If the will was in the wrong part of us then it would be impossible to resist temptation. Rather than giving up our will...we need to make it stronger by submitting...

Only in theory. You would challenge Tozer so that you would appear to be better informed than him. I'm sure I could find many who testify of the deeper walk that you would disagree with. So do you always think you know more than these?

This is where humility and the fear of God come to play. Believers nowadays are taught to become arrogant and make outlandish claims that go directly against humility and the fear of the Lord. How many times have I heard such things as...Tell the person sitting next to you...you ARE seated with...

The Saint Must Walk Alone (A.W. Tozer) MOST OF THE WORLD'S GREAT SOULS have been lonely. Loneliness seems to be one price the saint must pay for his saintliness. In the morning of the world (or should we say, in that strange darkness that came soon after the dawn of man's creation) that pious...

This brings people into confusion...the difference between Christ in you and you in Christ. So many will try to overturn the rest of the bible by misunderstanding a single verse. Even sinful believers have Christ in them. To BELONG to Christ one must enter INTO Him. How many believers will be...

Depth is hard to convey. It's about scale. There are touches from God...then there is being led by the Spirit...then there is a full-blown walk in the Spirit where there is NO sin (In Him is NO sin). Until you get to the full walk in Christ you will sin at times at least. You should read A.W...

Anyone who has been in the Spirit knows you go in and out of the Spirit. Only a fully mature full-statured disciple is able to remain in such a narrow walk. That is the very point of growing into Christ or winning Christ...until Christ be formed in you. But that is SO different than who we are...

I have walked in the resurrection life. The first time was for 3 days...in 1980. And the second time was for 2.5 years beginning in 1998. I also experienced a very deep work of the cross where a spiritual knife pierced my chest one morning. Before that, I had heard a voice that said..."the...

I think everyone knows what circumcision is. Natural circumcision is the cutting away of a protective covering that is not required because we wear clothing. Now God uses that same imagery for the heart being uncovered by the flesh in heart circumcision. In the same way that Israel...

Not God the Father. Jesus has friends. And the Lord God of Israel (Jesus) had Moses for a friend. Not so the Most High. Notice that Moses spoke to Yahweh (Jesus) face to face....but could only see the Most High (Yahweh Elyon) from behind. Ex. 33:11 And the Lord spake unto Moses face to...

We know that the "Johannine comma" (1 John 5:7,8) was a later addition...added in in 1522. No manuscript found before then has that section in it. We know that the Latin translator (Erasmus) of that time refused to add in the trinity comma until a Greek text could be found to support it. So then...

The problem with "enlarging on the truth" as you say is that the outer man is very adaptable (adaptation being a very human trait for survival) and can learn to appear to be improving in matters of the spiritual nature. But a cover-up of the flesh is not the same as actually being dead and...

Until a person is crucified dead in the outer man there will be an inward battle that will never be resolved. It is the power of the cross that sets us free. No one can walk in the very presence of God while the outer man is still in the picture. before we can be married with Christ we must die...

It is the difference between being under the law and being under grace. The outer man is tied to the law by the law of sin and death. The inner man is able to be free of the outer man in order to enter into Christ through the law of the Spirit of life that is in Christ. His cross is the power...

Thou dost protest overmuch. ;) A person in public ministry is apt to be corrected...unless you think that ministers speaking from a podium should never be questioned. I wonder if you feel the same way about Mr. M condemning so many charismatic preachers to hell? I'm for freedom of thought...a...

So then who is to do the spiritual shepherding? Priests? Pastors? No. It takes a person who walks in the Spirit to guide others into that same walk. Reproducing a dead religious form only makes the church dead. And people are fine with that as long as they are promised a good ending. They trust...

The Mormons send out young men (boys really) and give them the title of "elder" so that they can proselytize neighbourhoods for their church. It is no wonder that they use youths since their message is one of being indoctrinated. No understanding, wisdom or spiritual maturity is required...

The church that God is building is being built on two levels; the first being based on the common faith (Titus 1:4) and the other based on the faith required for the “high calling” which is in Christ (Phil.3:14). Some might suggest that this smacks of the “clergy-laity” split that has afflicted...
