You obviously have no desire to learn of the power of the Spirit. This is milk - the fundamentals. If you don't want to learn the truth at a kindergarten level, why go on to meat, I will just shake the dust off my feet. I've already dealt with your unbelief longer than I should have.

I haven't sinned willfully (sins of lawlessness) since February 9, 1977. Lawlessness is what we are talking about or are you unlearned on the subject of sins unto death and sins not unto death too. 1 John 1:7 is about a person who walks in the Spirit. A person who walks in the Spirit does not...

Ridiculous conclusions that aren't worth a response.

So exactly what formula are you trying to impose? God does the baptizing, whether sovereignly or by laying on of hands. God doesn't need an apostle.

All have a measure of faith, but not all have faith in Jesus. There is a difference between faith in yourself, and faith in God. Did you read the context, or just try to find a verse wiggly squiggly that says close to what you want it to? It doesn't mean no faith whatsoever, but in whom.

The measure of faith given to mankind is from God, and is biblical faith. Therefore, man is without excuse. (And Calvinism is error to the extreme, in more than one area of doctrine.)

Wrong - they are. What some don't realize is they are trying to impose rules on one gift, when it only applies to another gift. I suspect that is what you may be doing. For instance, there are two manifestations of tongues. One of them does not REQUIRE interpretation, but the unlearned only sees...

Wrong. Acts 10: While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. No laying...

As I already pointed out in #8 there were sovereign fillings of the Holy Spirit, and also by the laying on of hands. It is not down to a formula. It is a person.

As I already pointed out it is faithfulness, as in fidelity. But, seeing as you want it your way, I agree to disagree.

Where do you get the idea faith is a gift of the Holy Spirit? Of the three, faith is a gift from the Father, and that only a measure of faith. Romans 12

In reference to the Samaritans. 1. The Holy Spirit ONLY fell in Jerusalem, sovereignly. Acts 2 2. The Holy Spirit had to then go beyond Jerusalem through laying on of hands. Acts 8 3. The Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles, sovereignly. Acts 10 Complete dispersal access.

You're kidding. Galatians 5:22-23. Romans 10:17 Faith comes by hearing and hearing by a rhema of God. A rhema is a specific spoken word, and this verse is from God. The gift of supernatural faith accompanies a rhema and sees whatever is spoken to come to pass. John 15:7 "If you abide in Me...

We've gone over this before. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Faithfulness is a character trait of the Spirit, it is not the same as supernatural faith that operates for a purpose - to see healing, a...

Absolutely! The prayer I prayed was that I was a sinner and couldn't stop sinning, and asked God to scrub me clean of sin and take away the draw and pain. Instantly, I was free. He didn't lie, that is blasphemy! The Scriptures are true. I am free of willful sin. No, dear, that is the LAW...

The secret to Jesus' sinlessness was the seed of the Father. He had that from before birth! We are given that same seed when we are born again of the Spirit (IF we repent from all sin which gives us this free gift of power called the baptism of the Holy Spirit) 1 John 3:9 Whoever has been born...

Yes, grace is a gift, as is the power to not sin. It is not something I do from my own willpower like keeping the LAW. That's what that means. The Spirit takes out the sin nature and replaces it. That is what being born again is all about. The sinless seed of God is in us. That is why 1 John 3:9...

Here you go again quoting scriptures about the unsaved, and telling yourself that it is about Christians. Speak for yourself. Do yourself a favor, and read up on the Gnostics and Nicolaitans. You will find that as 1 John 4:1-3 says, they did not believe Jesus came in the flesh, but only in...

AGAIN, Paul is talking about the LAW. Are you under the law still? The law showed us our SIN. The Spirit took it away. Flush! Down the drain! What I've noticed is that you like to take scripture out of context, or assign the opposite meaning to what the apostle is saying, and have come up with...

When you are baptized with the Holy Spirit, you are no longer in this sinful state. Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. If we still have a problem with sin, it is...
