No, you are the one who said we are free from the "consequences" of sin, another aspect of the false doctrine. That is not true. Read Paul's warning in Romans 6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present...

Amen, brother! cc: @101G

Here is the process of the renewing of the mind to become more and more like Christ. 2 Peter 1:5-7

So once you receive the power of the Spirit of God indwelling you, never quench the Spirit, so you may continuously walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. cc: @101G

The eternal security is based on our DOING the will of God. Did you misread that key word? I certainly do not agree that a Christian goes in and out of being filled with the Spirit and being able to continuously walk in the Spirit. If that is what you believe, you are deliberately shooting...

Read it again. I did edit that you weren't arguing, but still not getting what 2 Peter 1:5-7 is about.

Actually, Romans 4 is before Christ, and in the middle of Paul's teaching on sin, the law, and righteousness. Christ not only puts His righteous Spirit inside us, but actually makes us righteous. We can now fulfill the righteous requirements of the law because of being born again of the Spirit...

I doubt that God enjoys casting anyone into the lake of fire. And a good parent will call the police. Did you not read the progression from faith to love in 2 Peter 1:5-7? Why are you arguing with me on this? The passage is clear that this is a process, a progression. From what? Sin? No! The...

Yes, at 73 I am a long way from when I was first born again and filled with the Spirit at 30 years old. But what was sobering to me is that I went to church from the cradle, and yet I was merely being drawn without a true commitment. I wasn't saved! Yikes! That is why my ministry is not to the...

Another thing you will find unOrthodox, and that is I believe the sin issue was dealt with as soon as we truly repented and became Spirit-filled. Sanctification is NOT the life long process we were taught, but is back to back with justification. So your post of adding to your faith doesn't have...

All the self-will in the world will not make us truly righteous until the carnal nature is dead, and it is Jesus who kills it, with Him on the cross. THEN He places His own sinless Spirit inside of us to make us naturally keep His commandments. There is no more struggle. The Spirit is doing all...

We grow in knowledge of what sin is. But those who are born again through repentance will live according to the light they have. Philippians 3:16. God only hates KNOWN sin. The Holy Spirit super-sensitizes our conscience, and works through our conscience. 1 John 3:21-24 shows those who obey...

Yes, I agree whole-heartedly. But what I'm fighting against is the complacency of those who believe they can still sin because it is covered by the blood of Jesus. They become apathetic to holiness. Besides "cover" another key phrase to the false doctrine is that our "past, present and futures"...

Yes, I have. I will need to send you my testimony, so watch your inbox.

I know many denominations who unconsciously quote reformed doctrine, but are not Calvinists. I heard my own AOG pastor do so. I was shocked he didn't know better. I also was raised SDA, and had to shed the "Protestant" infiltration and infestation of the Reformation from them. You may not...

I see it as just the opposite. And as I said in the OP, the belief that we will still sin as long as our mortal body is alive is part of the human reasoning of the false doctrine. Our body cannot sin unless our nature commands it to. What is dead is the source of sin, the Adamic nature of sin...

I can see where you would think I said that. Sorry. No the carnal nature is dead, and we receive a new nature. @Randy Kluth believes it is still alive, and it is we that do the work of keeping it at bay. If it is alive, it never became dead to begin with. We no longer have to fight the carnal...

What does the divine nature feel like to you?

@Randy Kluth Some people believe we can go in and out of walking in the Spirit, mostly out. That is not true. But even those who continually walk in the Spirit are not perfect from day one. We will still commit trespasses against each other until our love for one another is perfected. 2 Peter...
