And Peter also denied Christ... The church was not born until Pentecost with the resurrection power of Christ being given to men. Don't confuse salvation with the kingdom of God. OT saints did not know the gospel and they were saved anyway. But now that he gospel is available together with the...

You are perhaps confusing mercy with grace. We are saved from our sins by becoming empowered by grace. Mercy means that we are forgiven when we sin. God IS merciful. But God has always been merciful. Jesus didn't die so that the Father could become merciful. That is a backwards Christianity. The...

My doctrine does not come from what is convenient for me. I prefer the truth no matter if it condemns me or not. We are saved to do the works of God. We are not saved in order to become saved. Eph_2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before...

The 10 commandments applies to all as an indicator of what power we are living from. We can't enforce a spiritual law. We, as Christians are to show the way to the world by exemplifying the upholding of the law. We are to show the character and personality of the law through grace.

I think maybe you are refering to this.. Mat_23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Mar_12:40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers...

Christianity is not based on men placing their faith where they will. That is still being saved by works. God has to get a hold of you and translate you into His kingdom. The faith must come from above. Anybody can trust in anything for whatever purpose they wish. But this is not the message of...

We have confidence in God's overcoming provision according to the Spirit...not vain promises of a self-applied salvation through the fleshly understanding of the bible.

I'm about to turn 54 so in approximately 1 more year I'll be able to get a discount at Wendy's!

The truth is that the Holy Spirit is required both to understand the scriptures and empower a follower to experience what is written on the pages.

You are making a carnal argument based on the US as the supreme truth. How misguided can one get?

It is not a salvation by lofty human claims....but by demonstration of the Spirit and His power. 1Co_2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

Believing in Jesus without the power to walk as Jesus is pointless in regards eternity. It might make someone feel good to do so. But why stop at a romantic view of Jesus? Why not enter into Hos grace and become a disciple? Why not? The cost is far too much...we want without surrendering our...

The hidden message is still hiden to most who claim to be Christians. That is the power to walk as Jesus walked. As He IS so ARE WE in this world. This is completely foreign to most since they have not yet seen anything.

It's not about trusting in Jesus for your salvation. That is a human past time that has nothing to do with the eternal reality of the kingdom. It is about abiding in Christ daily and walking as Jesus walked. We are to conform to Christ through the death of the old man and the release of the...

1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1Jn 2:3 And hereby...

There are many spreaders of fables that declare that a Christian can sin without penalty....an immunity from prosecution from sin by God. We are held irresponsible and unaccountable. But this is the opposite of the truth. The Holy Spirit makes us more responsible not less. To whom so much has...

A believer in immunity??? Jesus Christ sets us free from the law of sin and death through the cross...we die in Jesus so that we can be raised in newness of life in Jesus according to the power of the life to come. Anything other than that is based on fables.

no and yes This is not what the gospel is declaring at all. Diplomatic immunity is a human invention that has no bearing on reality. Nobody has immunity from any law including gravity. So this is one of the fables we were warned about that men would adopt when they cannot receive the truth...

Sin separates men from God. Carnality is walking in our own strength and understanding and opinions. When we are empowered by the Spirit we walk the same as Jesus walked. In the OT this walk was called the "highway of holiness". In the New testament it is called "The Way". It is impossible to...

To denominate means to divide something from the rest by giving it a name. This of course goes directly against he unity of the Spirit. Our name is in Christ...no other division is required or commanded. So any group that names itself is a denomination. When we do this we practice heresy (division).
