    The Gospel of Grace:

    Haz...you have a fascinating persistence.... :) Nobody is hiding anything here. We have zero affiliation with any other churches...only through the Spirit do we seek to fellowship with others. Any resemblance that you perceive must be attributed to having a common Lord (although He is not...

    What is the name of your Church?

    Naming a church is to denominate it. We are just known as the brothers in whatever area we are in.
  3. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Amen and amen!!! While doctrine is very important it is secondary to life in the Spirit. Our doctrine must come out of this life. The purpose of our teaching should always be to bring people into this life in Christ. Eternal life is a type of life we can live in here and now. Be encouraged and...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Considering that we are taught by the same Master and have never met or "gone to the same church" is not a cause for doubt but one for faith. I have found not a few around the world that we have an exact affinity to...from the Spirit. It is according to the condition of the heart. Denominations...

    I'm in Montreal Canada... I have never met Dragonfly (from the UK at is says on the page) or Axehead. We just seem to have been taught by the same Master! :)

    Are The Gospels Old Testament?

    Jesus came to testify to the truth....all who hear His word and obey are of the truth. A Covenant changes the means of doing God's will... God's will doesn't change. All scripture is useful for instruction in righteousness. Jesus came to teach the truth more precisely. His sacrifice and...

    We could call the church...the church of the set free in Christ... :)

    Galatians 5

    Amen!

    Faith without works is dead

    This was true brfore the death and resurrection of Jesus. Now we can be born from above and walk as He walked by being filled with the Spirit. Jesus is risen and we no longer need to walk in the powerlessness of the flesh. Good News!!!! Not everybody on earth has experienced resurrection life.

    The Gospel of Grace:

    It means that as Christians we don't have exclusive rights to the sacrifice of Christ...much as we would like to think they do. We are covered for sins as we are progressing to walk in the perfection of Christ. It is like you get a government bursary as long as you remain in school. But as soon...

    Galatians 5

    Amen! Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in (INTO) him should not perish, but have everlasting life. G1519 εἰς eis ice A primary preposition; to or into (indicating the point reached or entered), of place, time, or (figuratively)...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    The true church is going from faith to faith and glory to glory. The false church is going from doctrine to doctrine and reaching to teaching. The result of the first is more life (Jesus came to give us life MORE abundantly). The result of the latter is more indoctrination in the death they are...

    Faith without works is dead

    This from Dragonfly We are to love the lost...together. I believe in community where the brotherhood is a living example of the kingdom. We really can't show Christ on our own. We can testify of Him to be sure. But it is when they see the love of the community from heaven that they are...

    Faith without works is dead

    The 2 great commandments fulfill the whole law. Love God and love others as Jesus does. You are incorrect as to your understanding of Paul's intent. It is backwards. The difference between the 2 seemingly contradictory statements is WHOM is doing the justifying. Look deeper into this. A man...

    Your Opinion On Atheists

    Atheists are simply un-believable. :)
  16. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    No righteous person in the bible ever justified himself because of what he believed or did. Only the Pharisees and modern Christians do this. A truly righteous person does not seek an advantage or claim anything for himself but his own failure. THAT is what it means to be righteous if one still...

    Faith without works is dead

    I was quoting Paul...Rom 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. We are called to this who are in Christ. You know the verses yourself....are we called to sin for Christ? John says if we sin we are of the devil and we have never...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Again...taking one verse and ignoring the others that bring the full picture is to do one of 2 things 1. enjoying a game of see-saw 2. Creating a man made doctrine that is not based in the truth. I try to assume that those who venture into these debates realize that there is a whole bible and...

    Are the Ten Commandments Taught in the New Testament?

    Agreed! The true sabbath is to cease from our own works..permanently...in order to do the works prepared in advance that we should walk in them. :)

    Galatians 5

    How can you tell if a record is broken? It just keeps playing the same little part over and over again...like a car stuck in a rut. But when the rut is seen as salvation itself...then any help to push him out of it is politely.....or not so politely ...waved off. Happy motoring...or actualy...
