Actually, the kind of prophecy described in the gathering of believers is to express the will of God or His heart by the Spirit. The hidden things. By revelation. It isn't always telling the future in material terms and events. In fact that is much more rare.

Man-made and man-learned doctrines. Fables......but people like fables.

God bless you precious sister! :) <><

I agree. The election of grace is given by God to they whom He qualifies (for reasons known only to Him) to run the race of faith. Saints are chosen by God to be perfected in Christ. So this part of God's plan looks like Calvinism. But holiness is the light of this world and many others will...

Welcome to the boards! :) I was thinking lately on a verse in that psalm...verse 3 Ps. 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? The foundations of the truth in our time have been shaken to the point that people can no longer endure sound doctrine. People no longer seem...

I also believe so...hence the purpose of this thread. It is the reaction against this subject that would suggest that the time of saints is past.

Saints do not walk as mere humans.... 1 Cor. 3:3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? or else as they who walk in the power of the flesh... 2 Cor. 10:2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold...

"The word we use for “saint” is the Greek word for “holy” – agios. In a real sense, we are celebrating the presence of holiness in the world, incarnate in actual flesh and blood human beings. The descent of the Holy Spirit makes it possible for human beings to become and remain holy. Without...

1 Cor. 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's: Both theirs and our what? The Lord! Who is the "ours" and who is the...

Col 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Is the church made up of saints only? Of course not. Most are faithful brethren...learning to be well founded in the faith. As in the...

The warfare of a saint is not in his own strength. It is by the keeping power of God. Those who walk in their own strength are still under the law. They walk as mere men. But the walk of a saint is by the grace of God...the power that causes men to do the impossible. Are the dead raised through...

There is a big difference between the popularly obsessive theme of salvation ...and of sanctification. This thread is about sanctification in both purity (as a gift) and maturity...apprehending that for which we have been apprehended. Salvation is to remain faithful till the end. So nobody is...

Continuing on the theme of "buying" from the Lord (as opposed to a free gift) we have the parable of the 10 virgins. All 10 are the same but for one detail. Five of them have bought oil for their lamps. These are wise. They have sought out the Lord and received the full measure of grace in...

There is more than one step to holiness...although we could say that holiness is in two steps. There is the free gift of grace...as a free sample...when we are born again by the Spirit...which is Christ in you..the HOPE of glory. The qualifies us to run the race of faith. The false teaching...

Amen. We are all BEING saved. The Christian life is a walk...not a one-step. We all need to continue in the faith of Christ is to saved in a permanent sense. Sanctification is by friendship with a holy God. Those that seek the Lord and interact with Him by the Spirit are BEING sanctified...

What did Paul mean when he said "I have not yet attained". This goes so contrary to all the religious certainty in our time. Phil. 3:12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been perfected, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. This...

God bless you brother! :) May you be filled with His peace...a peace that only the Father can give us.

Bless you sister. :) <><

In the NT Paul describes the 'as yet carnal' believers as a distinction to the ones who are "spiritual." 1 Cor. 2:15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, but he himself is judged by no one. Gal. 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one...

Actually...once again you are espousing what you have been indoctrinated into by the traditions of men rather than what is biblical...and according to the truth. Becoming a saint of the Lord used to be a goal for believers to attain. In both man -made traditions of Catholicism and it's cousin...
