I certainly see initial sanctification in which we are made holy/set apart in standing before God positionally in Christ. 1 Corinthians 6:11 - Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our...

No need for you to hastily jump to conclusions on why I am here and judge me. I was merely pointing out that the accusations in the articles about David Wilkerson were disturbing.

David Wilkerson was being discussed on a different Christian forum and these two links came up, which is disturbing. :eek: Pastor David Wilkerson's False Plan Of Salvation David Wilkerson's False Prophecies Exposed

The apostle Paul warned about this. Galatians 1:6 - I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from...

To "sin willfully" in the Greek carries the idea of deliberate intention that is habitual, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is continuous action with no repentance, a matter of practice. Now we don't walk along our daily life and "accidentally" fall into a pit called sin. We...

We are not saved by an empty profession of faith/dead faith that merely claims to be genuine, but demonstrates by the lack of evidential works that it's dead. (James 2:14-26) That is what James means by "faith alone" -- bare profession of faith that remains alone - "barren of works." *Which is...

In James 2:24, James is not using the word "justified" to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous. James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being...

Yes, the Jewish system, as was distorted by the Pharisees.

I'm not lying and to call it "salvation by works" is not misleading, low and dishonest. You really have an attitude. The implication of "salvation by works" is not that someone who teaches we are also saved by works does not at least include "their version" of faith in the equation, but rather...

Thank you for making it clear that you teach salvation by faith AND WORKS, but of course, many of us already knew that. The Catholic Church Teaches Salvation by Works

In Matthew 18:28, the servant who is unwilling to forgive his fellow servant such a small debt is presented as a repulsive, hypothetical situation. As unbelievable as this sounds, that is how unbelievable it would be for a genuine born again Christian, who has been forgiven such a huge debt, to...

Amen! Those who believe they live a sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolute perfect life 100% of the time (exactly as Jesus lived) are suffering from a terminal case of self righteousness. (1 John 1:8-10)

Yes, the demons believe "mental assent" that "there is one God," but they do not believe in/have faith in/trust in/reliance in Jesus Christ for salvation. In other words, the demons do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31) and are not saved.

Amen! I'm sure that statement from Jesus in Matthew 5:20 came as a shock to the multitude of people who greatly admired the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, for their knowledge of the law and seeming righteousness and holiness in external observance of the law, yet Jesus points out their...

Upon further reflection on 1 Corinthians 13, I've been thinking that even though we will no longer need faith "in what is unseen - 2 Corinthians 4:18; Hebrews 11:1" (because now we see it) our trust and reliance in Jesus Christ I believe will continue. Also, even though we will no longer be...

There are a lot of 'religions' out there and many people out there who are 'religious, but not right with God,' yet Jesus did not come to earth just to start another religion. Christianity goes beyond that and is about a relationship with Jesus Christ. John 17:3 - And this is eternal life, that...

Just found out on the news that people infected with the coronavirus just topped 1,000 in my home state of Missouri. :( COVID-109: Missouri adds 128 new confirmed cases of coronavirus to move past the 1,000 mark

What do YOU believe the gospel IS and what do YOU believe it means to "believe the gospel?" (Romans 1:16) Also, do you believe that the new covenant is just the old covenant repackaged? Still under the law of Moses?

Amen! There are certain churches that teach false gospels, which will lead all of those to their doom, who strictly follow the teachings of those churches. But those who believe the true gospel and not just whatever their particular church teaches, are saved regardless of the group with which...
