It's a huge jump from a person believing the bible...which is a good thing and wise....to claiming to be eternally saved for it....which is very presumptuous and kind of negates the previous wisdom.

Yes...with the self-justification by human beliefs. Luther was frustrated that God wouldn't visit Him...so he turned to the bible to look for relief that way. He put together a theory from selective verses that appeal to people who want to be saved...as in..hey you want to be saved? Well, I...

Being forgiven is not the same as God being blinded to our sins. I support a merciful God...not a blind divinity. Luther was way off.

The camp is the religious organization that comes from men. God ordains men directly from heaven. There is only one Mediator...Jesus Christ. So your ideas are all based on men...not God. You don't actually believe that God is alive and working to do HIS will....not the will of men. I have a...

That's MY point. :) I didn't call myself into the faith...but Jesus called me personally to follow Him.

people vote other people into office. God appoints people directly. No need to vote. Actually voting is out of bounds. The council of Jerusalem is no longer in place. But indeed I have placed myself before the church leaders of the city I'm in...Montreal to pray with them for our city. I was...

The church is Christ's and HE builds His own church...a church that is not according to the hierarchies established by men and their colleges. So you are trusting in men. I follow Christ OUTSIDE the camp. I invite you to do a study on Jesus and John the Baptist who stood outside the religious...

Not men...or succession of men as you believe...but by the Holy Spirit. Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. My authority likewise...

People are only sanctified by abiding in Christ. The maturity or perfecting of the saints has to do with character...that Christ be formed in us. In the meantime we come in and out of holiness...or not at all. They who say they are always holy are they who haven't entered in. Even the born...

Where does this come from? Do tell!

I hadn't realized that the KJV had been translated into Chinese. :oops:

Go to... Episkopos Just hit "featured threads"...

bless you Mike. :) Good wisdom. I find it difficult to stand in truth and yet leave room for people to grow into it....without allowing weeds to have a chance to grow. It's a delicate balance if you know what I mean. We don't want to hurt the weak...but we also want to encourage strength. So the...

I guess if the KJV was good enough for Paul it's good enough for me. Always enjoy reading the bible in it's original English form. :)

Only with the self-serving and ego boosting teachings that pass for doctrine these days. They make people worse not better.

Sanctification is an instant entrance into the presence of God. Are people baptized in the Spirit slowly over decades? Of course not. So then sanctification is NOT a process. But salvation is. So of course what people teach is exactly backwards. We come in and out of holiness...in order to...

People are not taking God seriously. MANY will say Lord Lord...but are following their own egos and flesh. Are we better than the Jews who were rejected? No one iota better.

Who do you think you are? Condemning members here to hell? Is that a perk given to you for being in the "saved" crowd? I tell you...mixing salvation with the ego brings strife....not love.

Men are blind....not God. So you are misrepresenting God here. Jesus doesn't make God blind. You are believing a HUGE lie here. God sees the hidden things...He sees the secrets of men. And ALL things will be revealed on judgment day (not hidden as you suppose)

Whoever looked at the brazen serpent in the wilderness was SAVED that day. But they subsequently perished later. So then look to God and He will save you TODAY....for the evils of TODAY. That's how we walk in the salvation of God. There is no guarantee of a one time salvation that ignores every...
