Thank you. I needed to start out the day with a laugh. :D

I know you are new, and welcome. On this site could you type out the full name of the book, like Romans 5:10. That way we can mouse over to it and it automatically comes up on the screen. Remember too on Acts, you must type out Acts of the Apostles for it to work correctly. Thanks.

Do you know the reason for being born again? Do you know that without the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling you, you don't belong to Christ? Do you know the purpose of the Holy Spirit? Do you know that without holiness, no man shall see God? You really need to read past the 4th chapter of...

And how is that not a license to sin? Can you not see that diabolical belief plays right into the devils hand? It is a false doctrine. NO WHERE in scripture do you see anything but the cleansing of ALL your past sins. 2 Peter 1:9. You've sought out teachers who play to what you want to hear, but...

And how is that? Not by your definition of grace it isn't! The true definition of grace, yes, but not by your definition of lawlessness. And I'm not talking about the Law of Moses. We are not under that. Have you ever hear of the righteous requirements of the Law? That is what we are under...

I was talking about those professing to being Christians. When had Peter backslid after Pentecost? Before, yes; he didn't have the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Enjoy! This one makes me think of how we sang it at church:

I agree.

Exactly!

Yes, I had a feeling you were truly born again. No matter what we both believe doctrinally, we virtually have the same testimony. It is the integrity of heart that I try to tell people seeking to be baptized in the Spirit to have power over their sins. You were, and so was I. We both admitted to...

So what finally happened to turn you around?

Why put yourself through that if you didn't like it?

The apostles were sinless according to sins of lawless and trespasses.

What Lutherans believe today is a far cry from what Luther taught.

What do you mean "to please your...mother-in-law"? Didn't you get anything useful out of it?

You do know that is a lie don't you? You should repent, but I forgive you ahead of time.

Well said. Did you know that "thorn in the flesh" in this passage is actually a Hebrew idiom and is not literally an ailment in our body, but people opposed to us causing us trouble? "Messengers of Satan." This passage has nothing to do with Paul's actual ailments, like his poor eyesight...

It is simple. Sins of lawlessness = zero Trespasses = 3 Forgiving others = -3 Total Trespasses = zero zero plus zero equals sinlessness. I do not preach sinless perfection, as perfection has to do with maturing in the fruit of the Spirit. When you get to be my age and 43 years of growing in...

Exactly, but so many choose to bury their head in the sand dunes of false doctrine, and Satan is jumping up and down calculating how many with their false assurance are actually his. But there again, those with this false doctrine who do not act accordingly, but righteously according to walking...

I really don't know how you can in all good conscience debate against holiness, when without holiness no man shall see God. What is our goal? Heaven, isn't it?
