I know what is says...but you are forgetting that they were indeed saved. Saved out of Egypt. Saved from bondage. Ex. 14:30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31. Israel saw the great power that the LORD used...

And how many today enter into the powerful presence of Christ? How much faith is there today...apart from a religious dogmatism as you are displaying? You are deciding what the criteria is...which you are not understanding. You think you are above such unbelief. But you are a naysayer as the...

Yes. A continuing faithfulness is required to finish the process that finishes with an entire salvation which is towards sanctification. So many people stop at a given point that they have decided upon. These say...this far and no farther. But God is the Director...we wait for Him to say "cut"...

Are you saying that the Israelites coming out of Egypt weren't saved? This is a common error. You would have to understand that there is an initial salvation away from our former lives...and a process of salvation into a new order...the kingdom order...whereby one can fail and be cut off from...

One could try going the human history route...or going directly to God like the 120 did by tarrying before the Lord back in the day. It's now called a revival...a revival of the Pentecost experience where the fire came down and filled people with all truth and power. That's what is missing in...

That proves that your understanding is there....:)

Whoa! Word! :)

People will reason with their own minds and say...it is impossible to fly. But in an airplane any one of us can fly. It takes no skill...just trusting in the pilot. Or people will say you are not bulletproof. But anyone who climbs into an army tank will become bulletproof...not because of any...

On the level of obedience by our own strength...we know what is right and wrong...so if we do what's wrong we are not doing it as by faith....but against faith. So in that way whatever is not of faith is sin. Obedience is by faith. Doing our own thing isn't. So this is about our faith and our...

Those pesky monkeywrenches... :eek:

One of the biggest dangers of being led by the Spirit is that a person's self-love...ego, pride are lifted up WITH the experience of God. When we self-evaluate our own faithfulness in a positive manner...rather than just seeing we are poor servants..we fall into a trap. It should be remembered...

This is a good beginning. And we go from that faith...to His faith. There is the good....and then the perfect. But so often the good gets in the way of the perfect. So then spiritual pride arises when it is realized that the workaday walk of being led by the Spirit is not the same as walking IN...

As some of you may know I have written on this forum about the perfection of Christ and that level of walk..which few will attain to...and so many are unreasonably hostile to the very idea of. But I'd like to dial it back somewhat and speak of the walk that is being one of being led by the...

Welcome to the Board! :)

Not sure about the uke...although I've added dulcimer to tracks before.....and lyre. But he does get a good tone out of his uke.

I'm a WWOD kind of person when it comes to cliques of any sort...(What would Oprah do)

OK Is this an _un-thread? Where everything is backwards? ;) As in...do you know Jack? No, you don't know Jack! ??? If so...then M.Calvin was the epitome of kindness and patience towards those he disagreed with. Just wish he was here to add his fragrance of Christ to the forum. ! (OK so how am...

Jesus said that we must be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. So we need to get into tune with that. No amount of reflection on our part will reveal a perfection already in us. Of course Jesus is perfect within Himself. But we contain other elements that are not of the Lord in us. So...

Trying to tame the flesh is like compressing a big spring. When you run out of strength...and at the most inopportune time...that spring is going to release all it's tension in an instant. Better to get out of the way when that happens. Who can tame their own flesh? The cross of Christ does it...

It comes down to this... 1 Corinthians 11:31 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
