The process of sanctification is the process in continuing in the salvation that we received at redemption. Salvation is a process that continues as long as we live. We can never rest on our accomplishments....or become idle through a warped view of resting on His.

Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Rom 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1 explains the redemption; the salvation FROM Egypt experience...

In order to do the works that we were created to do in Christ...or to bury your talent like the wicked servant? Are we not created to do the works of God...not in our strength (dead works) , but His! (works prepared in advance? )

5 who are kept by the power of God (grace) through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. We have victory THROUGH Christ. Christ does not have victory instead of us. The grace (power) of God empowers us through faith on our part to overcome all things. So we are being...

Actually grace empowers man to obey the law. Grace isn't a magic show...or a willful blindness on God's part...no, it is the power of a new creation to do what the old nature could not do.

And to Christ!!! Yes!!!

Cast out of his usurping place in the heavenlies. I believe that the devil's fate is sealed but he knows he still has a bit of time left to wreak havoc before he is actually cast out. He knows his time is short because he has been mortally defeated at the cross.

There is merit to what you say...but the 10 northern tribes did not keep their identity as Israelites...they were outcasts. The Jews as we know (of Judah) kept their identity in the diaspora.

Through the Messiah we are grafted into Israel. We are the 10 lost tribes that have been sifted through the nations.[/center]

It is both Christ living His life through us, AND we living our life through Christ. We also must work to attain the stature of Christ. But we do this through faith. We make faith transactions as it were that increase our hold on the character of Christ. Peter explains this process here...

OK

It is called a "signature". You have access to it in your profile!

I agree with your assessment! A biblical parabolic virgin is someone who has never engaged in the fornication of the world...ie...never mixed the Lord's will with a temporal power or benefit. We, as born again into the Israel of God, are grafted into Christ through a tribe...one of the 10...

Works based salvation is based on an ambition to be saved by something they have done. It is a checklist to be filled in. The modern notion of trusting Jesus for your assurance of salvation is also a works based salvation scheme. The checklist goes like....trusted Jesus for my eternal...

Free gift salvation ignores the command to be faithful. In what power are we to remain faithful in? Our own? Or His? So the gift of God is not salvation (for all time) but the ability to be conformed to the will of God. Otherwise we are building on a dead foundation. We must remain in Christ...

14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, Through one man Adam all men have fallen, and through Jesus Christ all men can be redeemed...

At least the OP didn't try measuring in feet or yards. This list is very flawed! The true test of the real church is simple...Is it really led by the Spirit? Is it looking to make decisions or disciples? Is there real power from God being exhibited? Do ALL the members function? Do they love...

Notice how Jesus 's words are excluded from these types of debate. Or at least Paul's word, with what people think they mean, are given more weight than Jesus'. Would that we seek to interpret Paul through Jesus, rather than the other way around. Paul is speaking to people who are walking in...

It seems you speak with rhyme Do you do this all the time? Before I say good night welcome to the site! :)

So we can see Him where He is, and be like Him in this world.
