Yes, 1 John 1:7 is about a Christian. So answer my question. Again - Is 1 John 1:6 about a Christian, and will they be in heaven for eternity?

Yes, I know that is what you believe. :(

To be more specific, have you been given any or one of these? I'm just asking to know if you are a born again, Spirit-filled Cessationist, or a born again, Spirit-filled Charismatic. I believe both will be in heaven, just would like to know for sure: Mark 16: 17 And these signs will follow...

The literal translation is commit, not practice. That means even once.

What you have printed is not gifts of the Spirit that he says ceased. I doubt if I will use the link if that is all he's talking about.

To me, Revelation 22:11 is not four categories, but two. Either hell or heaven. I see outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth as the dead unsaved, awaiting resurrection, then the lake of fire. No Christians that will enjoy eternal life will ever be in outer darkness...

Let me ask you something. is 1 John 1:6 a Christian? Will they go to heaven?

Yes, I agree. What you are describing is a mature true Christian. But just to clarify, 1 John 3:5 is talking about lawlessness - sins unto death. There are also sins not unto death that even a mature Spirit filled Christian walking in the Spirit is able to commit, but we are still sinless...

There was the eternal laws of God which is how Lucifer was damned. But the subject of Paul's teaching is on the Law of Moses. And until the law, even though man sinned, it wasn't imputed to him until the Law of Moses, which is also what Romans 7 is about.

I don't believe any who die in Christ, having endured to the end are in outer darkness. I believe their spirit goes to heaven. What I do believe about "outer darkness" and who is there are the unsaved awaiting resurrection, then the lake of fire.

Not everyone is born again with a divine nature that hates sin. 1 John 3: 4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. 10 In this the children...

You described two gifts; one from Jesus Ephesians 4 (teaching, which is an office), and one from the Father Romans 12 (Administration). I was asking about the last one of the Trinity, the Spirit 1 Corinthians 12 or Mark 16:16-18. I heard a set of tapes by MacArthur on the gifts of the Spirit in...

That would be possible, which is why Paul commanded to not quench the Spirit. Break that commandment, and you may not inherit the Kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21. As some say, it depends on the one you feed. I know some on the forums believe the carnal nature takes precedence and we are only...

@marks I know you are Spirit-filled, but can't remember if you operate in the gifts of the Spirit. I have them and wondered if this was something we differed on. Do you believe in them?

Yes, you did read and liked my post in Helen's Death to Self post.

This is why I said it is dependent on walking in the Spirit. It is all Him in us, nothing to do with works of our own. Do you see the difference? It depends too on if our nature has been born again taking on the divine nature. Then we do what comes naturally. Either carnal righteousness which...

cc: @Episkopas These are what marks says we disagree on... No one who commits "sins unto death called lawlessness 1 John 3:4" are in Christ. But we can be while walking in the Spirit and commit unknown trespasses. I have never heard him say this, so E, please confirm. That is called...

Yes, now you are getting into the other type of sin. So you see not all sin is the same. What you are describing are trespasses - sins unknown to you and unwittingly (without your wits/brain) committed. Leviticus 5:15. As long as you forgive others their trespasses against you and you don't hold...

Yes, you understand. And the older you get, the easier it is. I'm 72 and live alone with no one to push my buttons, so I'm not in a position to murder some man! LOL I wrote about this on one of Helen's posts. I'll see if you gave it a "like" and if not I'll copy it here.

I agree. That verse you are paraphrasing would go with the verse I like because it is easier to relate to for some when teaching and that is our conscience. And when we are baptized in the Holy Spirit our conscience seems to be super-sensitized, and you stay away from far lesser sins of attitude...
