What does that mean? No one is finally saved until the end of their time...their race. So are you speaking of a religious salvation status? You know this doesn't exist but in the minds of religious men. Salvation right now is to enter into Christ. It is freely given to they who surrender...

Thank you faithfulness. If even Jesus feared the Lord...what does that say about us? Jesus fulfilled ALL righteousness...in that He submitted to a baptism in His humanity...but He also feared in His humanity. Even Jesus. Why? To fulfill all righteousness. The standard of righteousness is to...

Entering into Christ is by faith acting in love. And this is because He first loved us. You may just have an obsession with the law of Moses.

We are approved to enter into salvation right now. To walk by grace....His strength...and not our own. The works that are done from that place are for rewards on judgment day. But to wait for judgment day for salvation is a mistake for believers. We have to bear fruit now. How? By walking with...

This is a doctrinal mish-mash... Sin is sin. All that is not of faith is sin. So then it's just a question of the levels of sin...UNTIL one abides in Christ where there is no sin. When a person says...I am or I will...so much there is always sin involved. This is about grace through faith...

Brother, we have access to more grace than other people...so then we will also be judged against that. That's the righteous way. It would be like someone with medical skills who comes upon a wounded person but doesn't use those skills to help out. We have received the Spirit within...and this...

The opposite is true... The Holy Spirit makes us MORE accountable for sins. We are more responsible for what we do because we are under grace. Grace is a higher walk but a higher responsibility as well.

This is an error to think like that. It's the "lover's" mistake of putting intimacy above purity. Putting shalem above tamim. God will not go easier on someone if they have an intimate relationship with Him. That's a wrong view. God is righteous...and we reap as we have sown. So then WE...

Seek to enter into Christ in order to partake of His grace which is the exceeding power of God us-ward who believe. In HIM is no sin. Take your eyes off yourself and people and look to the Lord. That is where His strength comes from.

The truth is "stranger" than fiction. Compare what you said to the OP. There is a ring of truth there.

I mean the works that have been prepared in advance that we should walk in them. If we walk In Christ or even are just led by the Spirit we are guided into the same kind of works that Jesus did. He modeled them first...and then allows us to partake of these same works so that we can be...

The OT was for a entire people... a nation that walked according to the flesh. It included the wicked, the liars the cheats...hence the need for laws like that. Are you as one of those? Are you still under the law? Do you need laws to keep your flesh under control? The role of a Christian is to...

Sure an eye for an eye. But also a life for a life. Jesus came to give His life that we might crawl out from under the rocks and walk upright in God's image. Jesus came to give His life not to kill people or to mete out retribution justice for sins. So then we have this calling as Christians to...

Amen. We need to quieten down...not get too caught up in the noises of human activity....to listen within to the leading of the Spirit...ALL the time. It's a more meditative way of being I guess. From that place God is able to speak to us...even in the hustle and bustle of very busy lives...

There are different depths of the Spirit..and different distances to the following of Jesus. Being led of the Spirit gives us certain times where we are in God's presence. But there is also a closer walk of abiding in Christ by the keeping power of God whereby one does not sin for extended...

I'm quite "partial" to that kind of Preterism. :)

I understood what you meant. You did eh? You haven't understood what I said...but are putting your own ideas in and calling them mine. Never a good way to discuss things. You are confusing the difference between a believer and a non-believer. There is a difference you know...of course in...

I would put it as ...they who are abiding in Christ are not sinning now...since we modern Christians are usually taught about what men can do and not what God can do through us. And there are so few actually abiding in Christ...so few that many have never heard of a walk without sin.

Dispensationalism is firmly rooted in the pre-Pentecost mindset of they who have not been brought into the power of the kingdom of God. God is turned from being a Spirit to being an idol...since only natural things can be observed by these.

If you want to call a good observation an accusation...then so be it I suppose. But you tend to lead with your chin and have your heart on your sleeve when you are proven wrong...which I admit must be hard to take for all the study you seem to do. The only way we communicate is...not by the...
