Very true!!! It is interesting to note that while we are indeed saved by faith...the Greek word Pistis also incorporates a continuing faithfulness. So do we abide in Christ through a one time act of faith or an ongoing faithfulness...or both!!! :) G4102 πίστις pistis pis'-tis From G3982...

Exactly! We are guaranteed an entrance into eternal life and salvation here and now through a receiving of the gift of God....but the everlasting nature of these is contingent upon our CONTINUING faithfulness to God and the ongoing training of God to bring about HIS will in us.

We are the tithe of the people. As such we are preserving the world. :)

Give the people what they want I guess! Isa_51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

Statements like this make one fall off the other side of the horse and back into a man made religion. Removing exhortation from the faith means that every man can do as he pleases thus creating lawlessness and unreality. Religion is something the old nature likes to hide behind...putting up a...

What about IN His power???

Was Agabus not a prophet? Wasn't the church in Antioch founded by prophets and teachers? Are we not to have prophets speak in the gatherings? 1Co_14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. Act_15:32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the...

I have no prejudices about who wins and loses. The wisest way to read the bible is to assume that you are as capable as anyone else of winning or losing. The disciples response to Christ....Lord, is it I? about sums up what I think.

Both...but many believers will be cast out into outer darkness. There they will wander in the wilderness forever.

Rom_6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

Do you have a scripture for that? ;)

I can't begin to explain just how wrong that is. They said something akin to this about the Titanic. Mere coicidence?

Yes I do. The disciple is learning to rule with Christ not just survive God's judgment.

I guess Jesus got it wrong when He said His followers are a little flock! ;)

Exactly like us!!! :)

Who would seek for a scheme that is God-proof?

Eze_18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Paul calls this law...the law of...

This is less than the truth. Jesus reconciles divinity and humanity in Himself. There is no dichotomy. We can be exactly as He is through the regeneration that brings the divine nature to us. So God meets us half way...but then we are together...in Christ.

Our sins ARE greater after we come to the Lord. God uses even our sins to try teaching us that we need to follow the narrow way as well as walk into the narrow door. Strait is the gate...yes....but also...narrow is the way!!! What we don't see in our time is the brethren living the narrow way...

4 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. Gal 3:24-25 (NKJV) The law is like a volt meter that detects whether or not there is voltage (power). Paul could not use this analogy...
