What denomination are they? Do they believe in Universalism?

Yes, it is love, but agape love. It is love even for our enemies. Here are the fruit of the Spirit - the first being love. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

It is the power of God given to us when we truly repent of sin, and when we do, Jesus gives us His Spirit - seed - that never sins. Acts 2:38 1 John 3:9

Do you have faith in Peter's apostleship? Peter calls Paul's writings, scripture. 2 Peter 3: 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in...

We must repent in order to receive this grace/power. If it was unmerited, then we wouldn't have to repent, the whole world would be saved, called Universalism - a false doctrine.

In other words, the Spirit of Power. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. This heavenly power is given to all who repent, and is called the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Yes. Here is another scripture. You put it as the law of grace by faith in Christ. And Romans 8:2 puts it another way, but means the same, and clarifies what is grace. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ. Thus grace is the power of the Spirit, and life equals faith. We not only have faith...

Please describe what you believe is the "law of grace."

I don't see any discrepancy. Jesus said that He would make us free from sin; that we would no longer be a slave to sin, but would instead be a son. John 8:34-36, 1 John 3:5. Paul says the same thing, that we are dead to sin. Romans 6:2. And Romans 8:14 says, For as many as are led by the Spirit...

I doubt she went with him, just took the opportunity to do her own thing.

It was what scripture says it was. 1 Corinthians 14:2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. So how could they understand? By the supernatural gift of interpretation of tongues. There was NO...

No, but she has passed since then. Leukemia. So now, his tats are in honor of her.

Right, the disciples spoke in tongues, and the devout Jews listening each HEARD what the disciples were saying in their own tongue. That in no way implies that the tongues were, in fact, those languages, but it was what they HEARD.

She never received one herself, but approved of what he wanted to do. She rode on the back of the Harley. I never did.

He used to be "white collar" most of his life until he got a Harley, and then the tattooing followed.

No, we don't have that kind of a relationship.

I personally don't know many people who have tattoos. My brother in law has a few but they are fairly new, so not enough time for style to change.

You've created too narrow a box for the Holy Spirit. He is not just our teacher. For instance, interpretation of tongues is by the Holy Spirit, and involves these: 6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by...

His promises are true. The gifts are for more than scripture, but also for building a personal relationship with God and communing with Him now, until we see Him face to face. This is done. You can have the last word, but be warned. Any reference to the devil or false Christs and I WILL report you.

I do have the truth, and know the gifts are for more than scripture, but also for building a personal relationship with God and communing with Him now, until we see Him face to face. If you can't hear Him anymore, or never have, maybe you never could. I don't really know you. But is that it? You...
