See, that is growth! :) But marks would like to condemn you to prison and throw away the key!:eek:

I disparage false doctrines. Then do you believe a born again Christian has sinful desires? Did Jesus not take those desires that produce sin away?

Don't you think you should be speaking to Nancy about this? Especially if you believe it is unforgivable? I don't happen to think it is, just a lack of self-control.

ROFL Stated by someone studying the scripture daily as I do. But you have some preconceived ideas that color your perception of interpretation, and instead of letting truth from the Spirit speak for itself, you twist the scriptures to fit your truth of a false doctrine. It is a common mistake...

I'm only obeying Christ's words of "Be perfect, as my Father in heaven is perfect." Would Jesus give such a command if He didn't equip our new nature to accomplish what He set out for us to do? You seem to think it is bad to be righteous or holy. Don't you know only the righteous or holy will...

Thus, God's chastisement of getting a ticket!

Christians are just asking for trouble if they become unequally yoked, or do not part ways with old carnal friends. Or if they become involved with a church whose teacher starts teaching a false doctrine that sounds wonderful, but only makes a person slack in their convictions. Like OSAS.

Sorry, but there is a difference, whether you think so or not.

That statement wasn't just for you. But if the shoe fits...

These forums are my church. I both teach and learn. And develop Christian fellowships

Yes, so why do Cessationists negate the word of the Lord? Your Bibles must look like swiss cheese.

Yes, they are, but you really can't use human theory when debating on a site where the Bible is our foundation.

All "saved" yes, but not all who call themselves Christians.

1 John 3:9 is based on 1 John 3:4. That is the context. Willful sins of lawlessness. I doubt very much you think nothing of stealing the church treasury! You couldn't do it. Think about the fruit of the Spirit. There are more than just love. And sparing another's feelings sounds like mercy to...

And what are the qualifications of "Believe"?

I understand what you mean about "hearing" God's voice. I've heard it often for the last 43 years. In fact, I never pray for my needs until He speaks to me and tells me what to pray, I do, and it is answered immediately. So many miracles!

It may be a "Big problem" for you, but not for us who live it. You have to realize that the New Covenant has not ended, and just as not a jot or a tittle was removed out of the Old Covenant, the New Covenant gifts that the ministry of the Spirit gives us will not cease until the covenant ends.

That is because kings were anointed by prophets. And prophets were chosen by God directly.

marks, Of course they were justified; how else could they have "escaped the pollutions of the world." Believe it or not, that means they were born again. They were dead to sin, but so are those in Romans 6:15-16. They still can succumb to temptations and not resist the devil. It is like the...

Yes, it is. 20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. They were justified (escaped) and been given a new nature.
