This is religious fanatical twaddle. No love here at ALL. The bible doesn't say....without holiness God is going to burn you and torture you forever. Holiness is offered to us because of love...not as a threat. So the OP needs to learn about Christ.

Sure. But how do we show God and the world that we have given up our own lives to be His body? What keeps us together? Doctrines? Scheduling meetings? The early church saw themselves as strangers in the earth. Pilgrims joined together by a common life and faith. As such they identified family...

And Romans 6 is to be followed by Romans 7....the experience of they who still have not yet been crucified inwardly...a deeper level that actually enters INTO Christ and that brings us to death. After Romans 7 comes Romans 8. But I see people skimming through the process and claiming to be in...

All this is just Gnosticism unless our behaviour becomes holy and we act as Jesus would. This thread is basically promoting Gnosticism. We are what we act from. If we have carnal outbursts then that proves we are still walking in our own strength as carnal men. We might know ABOUT Jesus but we...

Can people discern the difference between a mind that is renewed by being in God's presence and a mind that is carnal but being religiously re-labeled according to bible sounding terminologies? How deep (or superficial) is that renewal?

What I'm trying to communicate to you was they were a "they" not just individuals...they were joined together as a community of faith. Not just meetings. It was every day.

While what you are saying is true about Sunday church or speaking engagements...I'm not talking about a religious gathering....but a shared life. Check out Acts 2. Not everyone is motivated to be spiritual on their own. Some people are meant to help the brethren do their spiritual work. So...

I appreciate that people are sincere in their devotional life towards God. I appreciate your own devotional life towards God. After all there were the desert ascetics who lived a life of devotion to God after forsaking the world. This might seem extreme to some but there it is! People will go to...

First to the Jews and then the Greeks. The Jews got first crack at the new and living way according to the inward holiness.

The giants in the land! People are afraid of the unknown. In todays church there is a big suspicion about anything supernatural. It's like people want to keep God out of His church. They prefer the relative calm of going about business in the flesh. They have chosen captains (pastors) who will...

People tend to fear the unknown. So then anything supernatural is suspect among they who don't have that personal connection to God through the Spirit. And to makes things worse there are parts of the church that indeed have embraced the false spirituality. So all this makes the road very...

And not all are of Christ who are called Christian.

In order to distinguish life before Jesus came to earth....and after. Jesus changed history forever...by adding in a new realm, a new life. An alternate reality called "the truth." (Of course that reality IS the truth) So we live in a shadow world where our brains are trying to figure things...

Backwards. You are not reading mine...and then projecting your own distractions unto me. So you are smokescreening so that you don't have to see the difference of Jesus Christ coming to earth. try actually responding to what I'm saying the Holy Spirit is doing. Did Jesus come to just tell us...

The mind of Christ is only attainable when we let our own way of thinking go. So what seems foolish to the carnal mind....the truth...makes perfect sense in the mind that has been freed from the limitations of the human intellect. The truth passes to us through faith. Dispensationalism...let...

John 17:21 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. The Western churches deny this apostolic doctrine. The eastern churches call this oneness with God...theosis. Oneness. The...

That's just it. There is no getting the human intellect involved. So you will never figure it out or formulate anything remotely close to an understanding of oneness with God. Of course people here will try to fudge the issue with their religious notions of this...saying how devoted they...

Again you revert to carnal strength....and without knowing it. Your viewpoint is summed up in the hyper-dispensational heresy. You deny the spiritual life and power to be One with God and walk without sin. You deny that God can do the impossible in us when we show Him we trust fully in Him...

I don't think the common believer has any idea what that love entails. People nowadays don't believe ANYTHING they haven't already experienced. And very few will know anything beyond what carnal men experience. Not everyone is meant to be the Bride of Christ. In our time of decadence I would...

By selling all and following Christ. Actually forsaking this world and putting God and His kingdom first in all things. Jesus shows us the way to salvation....loving others as yourself. He tells the rich young ruler (who asked how to be saved) to obey the last 6 commandments (righteousness...
