And you don't commit willful sins either, anymore than Jesus inside you would. Right?

No, Paul and John are doing the same thing. They are contrasting the Law vs. Jesus. The Law could not make anyone holy because of sin. Romans 7:13-23, and 1 John 1:8 The Spirit can make us dead to sin. Romans 6:1-7 and 1 John 1:9 How do you explain John's contradiction in the same book? 1 John...

Right. I am born of God. 1 John 3:9. All you have to do is never do anything your conscience would bother you about. And my conscience is super-sensitized, so I don't willfully sin. Any failures unwittingly committed are trespasses, Leviticus 5:15, and we must not have any unforgiveness toward...

I'll just tell you what I believe about me, not Gids. I know who I am in Christ. I have the authority to command healing and all the things Jesus did because now He is inside me and I abide in Him. But as far as my needs go, I trust God that He will provide and never get anxious for anything...

I wouldn't say "practice it" applies. What happened to me just happens to confirm what the Word of God says in Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39. I was like the publican that came into the temple to pray, knowing that I was a weak sinner that couldn't stop sinning, but didn't even want to stop. I had...

I'm wrong, or Gids is wrong? What do I believe?

I only use the term baptism of the Holy Spirit in the way Jesus used it - to receive power. Acts 1:5 and 8. Not carnal power as you've been obsessed with, but the power to not sin, keeping the righteous requirements of the law, and to operate the gifts of the Spirit given to us to strengthen the...

Of course the law was present. Only through Jesus does one enter into the New Covenant. Now are you still in the Old Covenant and are struggling, or have you received the power of the Holy Spirit and are now walking in the Spirit? Because if one doesn't have the Spirit inside them, they do not...

Paul has already taught in a previous chapter (4 I believe) that we are no longer under the law, and 7 is what it was like being under the law. Are you saying Paul was still under the law, or walking in the Spirit?

Yes, I know we can backslide, but who would want to that has experienced His presence? We still have free will to choose which is why Paul gave the commandment to not quench the Spirit, but to keep growing in Him.

No he wasn't. He was saying God gives us power over temptation, just the opposite of what you thought.

It is scriptural. And the Word of God is our authority.

I don't know how you can say that any gift of God would cause us to open up to temptation. The actual meaning of the gifts of the Spirit are power gifts. How else could Paul say, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"? Do not demean a gift of God with your focus on a warped...

How does one know if they are born again? Is it by faith, or do you actually experience the transformation?

I didn't read Gideon's post, but I can't imagine him talking about the carnal lusting for power... I answered according to what I assumed Gideon meant. Maybe I should have read his first. LOL

I didn't understand your first sentence. It may be a grammar problem... Your second sentence didn't make sense either. You are saying that if one lusts for power and deceives themselves, then it is of God. I don't think you meant that. Third sentence. I believe if someone is born with a...

Not power? The Grace of God IS power. It is not unmerited favor as has been erroneously taught for hundreds of years. The power of God is what makes us born again into new creatures. Actually, we have the same body, but not the same nature. It has been changed to partake of the divine nature of...

You may get out more than I do. LOL I don't know what you are talking about. I just know the miracles I've seen and the healings and 100% answered prayers. What miracle or signs or wonders have you seen that are false? Scripturally, you have to look at the person, to see if they are of God. If...

Maybe that is why so many have died world-wide when they didn't have to.

Yes. I was trying to teach that Romans chapters 1 through 8 is ONE TEACHING. It is the contrast of the Law vs. the Spirit/ the Old Covenant vs. the New Covenant. There are many that are taught that because Paul sinned in Romans 7, that Christians will always sin. That is false, but some can't...
