May I see that scripture where Jesus specifies that false apostles will cast out demons? If they do it in Jesus name the demons won't listen to them if they don't actually believe in Jesus. They have no authority. Acts of the Apostles 19:13-16

How do you know that you will endure to the end, just because you think you believe now? So did these. John 6: 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus...

Yes, that's how most people see it, but I don't. I think there is more to it, and when I hear gossip, I ALWAYS go to the person being talked about and get their side. I just can't do that here, so I'm not going to accept gossip.

Good night all!

The gifts of God are irrevocable. What they did was counted on having gifts as a sign they were in good standing, but 1 John 3:21-24 shows who really is in good standing. Those who keep the commandments of the New Covenant. It is they who really abide in Jesus, and He in them. Jesus KNOWS them.

No, you do not agree. I'm saying the opposite. Peter was spending time with both the Jews and the Gentiles, taking in mind the Jews shortcomings, and not offending them. Romans 14 Paul would have done the same thing, yet has the audacity to chastise Peter for doing the same thing he would have done.

What do you say to Matthew 7:21-23 who believe in Jesus and called Him Lord? Obedience is a sign one has the fear of the Lord.

I don't believe Peter sinned at all. He was eating with the Gentiles, then when the Jews came, he didn't want to offend them while they were still prejudice and lacking mature fruit. He met them where they were. And what's more, Paul would do the SAME THING, yet brags about how he chastised...

Yes, and the key word is believes, which means to obey, as the opposite is disobedient. 1 Peter 2: 7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient...

Here is scripture regarding our assurance. 1 John 3:18-24 18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. ... 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have...

I agree.

That is for people walking in the Spirit. They will NOT be willfully sinning. 1 John 1:7 only applies to unintentional trespasses, called sins not unto death. 1 John 3:4 are sins unto death because they would be committing them willfully. Jesus is NOT our Advocate for sins of lawlessness without...

You are right about the apostles after Judas. But people apply verses that only apply to the apostles onto everyone else, and that is the problem with people thinking they can sin after they believe they are saved and they are covered.

Done before being born again of the Spirit. Doesn't count. Where is Peter's side written? We only hear Paul's, but Paul was known to do the same thing that Peter did. 1 Corinthians 9 These were trespasses on both sides, and they were reconciled and cleansed. Matthew 6:14-15 Where? None of...

1 John 3: 4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. God provides the means to not sin...

Yes, that is what it means to be born again, all things have become new. We become partakers of the divine nature of Christ. That is why we cannot sin anymore than Christ could.

But, he, a man, does say nature.

What, you didn't agree with him? "The OLD SELF refers to the unregenerate nature, who we were when we were IN ADAM. It is not the dark side of a Jekyll-Hyde disposition. It is not half a dual temperament unique to Christians. It is not an `old nature' that battles with our new nature for...

I'm a woman so maybe you would receive better from a man. Here is from a male who said the same thing I would. You shouldn't ask me questions you don't want me to answer, and then attack me for answering like a wolf in sheep's clothing. "The relation of the old self and the new self has been...

Yes, but why, and more importantly, when? The answer is Romans 7:13, because of the sin nature. And when was that? The answer is before Christ's indwelling Spirit. Romans 8:2-9. When we are born again, the old sin nature is nailed to the cross, and we are given a new nature that partakes of the...
