I asked which ones you have and you named them all, including the offices that Jesus gives His Church. You must be pretty busy. Just one thing. You didn't mention the list of gifts to the individual believer for personal use in Mark 16:16-18

I'm curious what you think is a gift? And no, I wouldn't deny yours if you have any. I know mine are real, so why couldn't yours.

Which ones do you have?

Could this be a justification for your lack of the gifts of the Holy Spirit?

What is gross about the power to not sin? Would you prefer to sin???:eek:

Who or what is the sin of the Nicolaitans?

I don't believe in the anything goes of OSAS, but I am assured that I am saved. All my prayers are answered - 100%. But it is because of abiding in Christ with He in me, and keeping His commandments, not freedom to break them. Unfortunately, those who support the common doctrine of OSAS, know...

I wrote a book on chapters 2 and 3, not the whole book, but Jesus is the 1st and the last, the beginning and the end. When was Pergamos?

You don't have to believe me. I'm happy with the knowledge.

I know what the seven letters to the seven church ages mean. I even wrote a book on them, so I researched the contents more than you probably have.

Not when you read the letters from Jesus to the seven churches (ages) as he did.

In the letter to the church age of Smyrna, the Reformation started with a deceptive definition of the grace of God that no sin can separate us from God if you just believe in Jesus. Martin Luther said, "even if you were to commit murder and adultery 1000 times a day, it could not separate you...

LOL. Well I certainly hope before leaving you read my last post to you, and you are leaving to meditate on the truth of it.

I liked your post, and it is the reason I gave up on denominationalism. I just have one tweak in your message. The reason is because when we are baptized in the Holy Spirit which makes us born again, we have the Spirit of Truth inside us making us desire to consume with a vengeance the Word of...

Except that the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount show the New Covenant commandment that go much deeper to the source of sin, and are no longer just surface commandments. Jesus was able to make these demands, because He was going to be inside us (from the Day of Pentecost on) to make...

Interesting, as I just complimented you. And it wasn't a lie. Now you just voided #1006

What are you talking about? I don't see any JW influence. Just the opposite.

What day did God make water?

jbf, always start with verse 2, because Grace is the divine power this is talking about. Not the get out of jail free card that many in the Church believe grace to be. I love this passage. Read all the way through verse 11!

Huge respect, GE. @BarnyFife, this shows the power of the Holy Spirit inside us to make us bold. There will be no cowards in heaven. They do not have the Holy Spirit. Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars...
