1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him...

OK Just know that God loves you even if you are not destined to rule over galaxies and tend personally to Jesus at every meal. ;) Too often we see the kingdom of God as a fantasy tale we feel entitled to. But just to be in the saved nations...is still far better than living here on earth. it's...

OK....I meant know Christ in the intimate sense of experiential power. But I agree with you. In 1 John it says if we sin we have never known Him. I take that to mean...if you have never stopped sinning so as to walk in a supernatural life of power...then you have not yet known Jesus AS HE IS...

Good to hear from you! :) Leave room for what? What I am saying is that the Holy Spirit is IN a person who is born again. It is Christ IN us. But it takes going to the throne of grace to get the FULL measure of grace. We need to further enter into someone who isn't us....Jesus Christ Himself...

Have you come yet to the conclusion that it isn't the doctrine per se that makes one righteous before God...but how we hold onto it? One can be a grace legalist after all....just as much a legalist as someone who thinks eating pork sends one to hell. But isn't pushing grace on others an all...

Have you come yet to the conclusion that it isn't the doctrine per se that makes one righteous before God...but how we hold onto it?

A person can walk with God in the most intimate way and not realize how God works with others. IOW he only has one reference point...his OWN relationship with God. But if that same brother failed miserably...like all the original apostles did by denying Christ or running away..or fall into a...

That's the whole point of this thread... :) Well said.

Do I detect a legalistic rigidity in your demeanor? You're going to fit right in here! :)

Kudos bro! You have the attitude of a genuine seeker of God...rare in our times. :)

When it comes with these man-made doctrinal monikers I'm with you. I'm a religious term abolitionist. I would only be a secessionist in ending these doctrines. :) But a secessionist is one who follows other people who also believe the gifts of the Spirit have ended. Welcome to the forum! You...

We're hoping you can tell us! :) Welcome here!

When I think of apostles in the modern sense I think of this statement by Jesus... Mat. 9:38 Beseech the Lord of the harvest, therefore, that He might send out workmen into His harvest." Now it doesn't say...that people might send out missionaries....no....it is God being beseeched for "sent...

This is religious nonsense and doublespeak that causes God's ways to be mocked. Just sayin...

Faith sees. That is what faith does. I'm not the only one that has seen by the Spirit...but it is very rare since nobody is talking about it. And the resistance to real faith is very pronounced in this time of lawlessness. There is more to eternal life than just reading about it in the bible.

Well the bible doesn't say...the soul that sins it shall be tormented forever and ever. The second death kills the soul. Rev. 14: 9-11 is the only reference I have come across in the bible that suggest an eternal torment for people...and it is for they who worship the beast and have taken his...

Hey John...here is another angle. Jesus called the Laodicean church bishop blind....and that he needed to purchase eye salve from Him so that he might see. Rev. 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and...

The devil quotes scripture. You have a far too high opinion of your own opinions.

You are an offensive person who I don't consider a brother. I find all your words to be exactly backwards. You project your own falsehoods on me. I'm so done with the likes of you.

That's the difference between us...I am giving you testimony. It used to be where Christians had a testimony of Jesus Christ and His kingdom. But no longer...it's all just theories and opinions. That's the level you play on. And you refuse any other level....than the basest possible. That's why...
