I agree! And the rest of my existence is to return to that very place that I have previously known.

What does Paul mean when he says that it is no longer he that lives but Christ...or that we are dead to sin in Christ? This used to be understood and lived out by the church. No longer it would seem (or so little as to not upset the majority view)! So men have changed the meaning of the bible in...

Jsus didn't die in man's place. Jesus died to buy men back...redeem them to God from the power of sin and death. He was resurrected to give men life in Him. So we need to die in Christ in order to live in Christ. That doesn't sound like Jesus dying INSTEAD of us. In fact we are to take Jesus'...

No.

If we can imagine Jesus as the ultimate guitar teacher and we as His students then we can see walking in the Spirit like Jesus playing through our hands so that we can get the complete idea of what it means to be a virtuoso. So when the Master is NOT playing through our hands we can yet practice...

Hi Rach! I would respond by saying that God is as interested in character as nature. In other words He leaves time for us to have a new lesson sink in and produce the character required to be able to carry a heavier weight of holiness. Just like in a school scenario there is the theoretical and...

So you are seeking the last word? You are displaying unbelief for all to see. Do you take any testimony seriously? What is your testimony? Rather than attack others and judge do you have anything of edifying value to contribute?

Grace= resurrection power. Grace is that which first empowers then edifies the new creation in Christ. The state of grace is the experiencing of the apprehending of the gift of God to men...namely to be indwelt and led by the Holy Spirit. I have given a partial testimony for the benefit of...

Then why is an outpouring of grace on a person so dificult to accept? In my experience it is only unbelievers who have difficulty with this.

The first time I walked in the light I did feel in a way trapped there as if in an ivory tower as you say....it got to be too much for me to not just be normal. But I had forgotten that "normal" meant just the usual life of a person outside of the knowledge and experience of God. But to my...

As usual the mocking tone. One should not expect too much from the Lord when this type of attitude is entertained.

It is required that one cry out to God and seek HARD after Him. You have to push. That has been my exrerience. In what way do you mean more definite?

Before the time that I lasted so long in that state of grace the longest I had lasted was a few weeks..once. Before that only a few days..once. But this time (about 14 years ago) I had a huge personal revival...walking in light...personal visitation and a type of circumcision that felt like a...

We are living in a time where the "state of grace" is unknown and not even believed in let alone understood. When we walk in the Spirit we cannot sin. When we abide in Christ we show Christ to the world...it is no longer we who are doing the living out. Now many will agree with the bible...

Good observation! ;) Most people choose to be their own god and act as if they had created themselves and the universe they live in. A few are humble enough to realize they have a God to please. Most live to please themselves. So God will destroy them.

You are speaking from a carnal perspective. I am IN Christ...who is my perfection. IF I remain in Christ then I cannot sin. But this goes for everyone and anyone...no one is unique. It is not about our own performance, but about our faith and surrender to Christ. So we can abide in Christ and...

I think it is easy to get too caught up with the manifestation part of the Holy Spirit and miss the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Manifestations can be faked and learned by others who wish to "join the Holy Spirit club". But being constantly filled with love, joy and peace...well that is a far more...

You are mocking the gospel not me. You are not understanding that the gospel is not like a political promise that has no power. You should look into what being born as a new creation REALLY means rather than just accept a salvation scheme cobbled together from various verses that deny the power...

LOL! Every site needs a champion of the power of the flesh! :) Here are some verses that SEEM to back up what you are saying...??? "My grace seems insufficient for you" "Behold all things are same old same old" "How shall we stop sinning who are dead in sin?" "I can do very little through...

You need to be baptized in the Spirit. A thus baptized person is fearless and filled with all confidence in God. So perhaps this baptism should precede the water baptism in your case....so that you can boldly testify to your new life in Christ. What is this? Proxy baptism? This is a Mormon...
