Well said Jake!!! :)

Aye! The church is not walking in it's full consecration either. Could these be related?

Please remain teachable in the doctrines which do not impinge on having a direct relationship with God. A true disciple, it seems, must shed many layers of doctrinal coverings before coming to the place of the unity of faith in the mind of Christ. Don't stop seeking for Christ and the truth!

We are not indebted to the flesh to live according to it any longer. We have been given a way out...a new nature that conforms to Christ. How deeply we live this depends on our need and desire of the Lord and our faith. The grace of God is available to empower a walk that is identical with...

To live according to the carnal nature is sin!

Legalism is where one says..."you should be obeying the law the way I do or you are not with God." This is wickedness in the eyes of God. The Pharisees missed the bigger picture by judging from themselves and by nit-picking and bothering others about their way of keeping the law. They condemned...

This thread is about to be hijacked towards the sabbath agenda. Do you do this willfully? Yes or No?

Let's see...there is the Old Testament and the...Same Old testament! Is the NEW Testament just a Greek translation of the Old version? Just a different binding? Or are old things passed away and ALL things are become new?

Is the jihad of a Christian like that of a Muslim?

We must count all attainments as nothing and continue to serve in obscurity. We must be ever vigilant of being puffed up with pride. Each new advancement must be embraced into obscurity.

The underlying question is... Are we as Christians responsible for our own actions or not?

Are you saying that a person no longer reaps what they have sown? Are we no longer responsible for our own actions? The taking away of responsibility for actions is lawlessness...the very thing that Jesus accuses those whom He states He never knew.

Exactly! We must speak from the Spirit as the oracle of God. I think the willingness is to be surrendered to God

I realize that many are sceptical about experiences with God seeing we now have the canon contained in the bible. But I see the words from God inviting us into the experience of the saints of old! :)

Rather than broaden our thinking on the subject it would seem wiser to focus on the words of the King of kings. Mat_5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is...

Faith comes by hearing...or reading! Yes! :) But where there is a lack of vision the people are brought to nothing. We should take the words of Paul very seriously that say...always learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth. We can seem to be constantly advancing...but to where...

A great problem arises when someone does start out in the Spirit. The lack of maturity in that person is often difficult to deal with owing to the lack of spiritual experience in those that are trying to point out that fact. There is no cookie cutter way to approach discipleship. The...

A person who damns will be condemned himself. One must be in the Spirit and speak IN Christ when rebuking, or damning. This would be very rare undeed. LIke when Peter damned Ananias and Sapphira...and they dropped dead. Anybody can be self-righteous and declare themselves as holier than...

For For us holiness is a location....being in Christ. Holiness is a scary word for many if not most believers. I'd say most want to be saved WITHOUT being holy. Holiness implies being always in God's presence and remaining there. Sounds like a death to human freedom. Men can't handle...

All the gifts should not only be submitted to God but to the brethren as well. I think too many ministries are created through a self-seeking desire for recognition and individualist vainglory. Prophecy, healing gifts and teaching especially. But these gifts are to be administered in the context...
