I agree. Do you believe the Holy Spirit is only for outside work, and not for us individually?

Yes, Christians do sin, but what kind? 1 John 5:14-15. Christians do not commit any of the sins in Galatians 5:19-21. Notice that 1 John 2:1 there is no mention of repentance, or confessing of sins, so is Jesus our Advocate now for murder and we need not repent? Or is Jesus our Advocate when we...

Yes. But you have to know who you are in Christ and love Him with all your heart continuously. I understand that you believe what I teach is error, but I KNOW the power of God. I'm curious if you just came to the first thing you didn't agree with from your years of believing 1 John 1:8 is about...

Pressing toward to mark is glorification, not sanctification. We were cleansed of all sin when we truly repented of our weakness and cried out to God. He cleanses us of our past sin, and sets us apart unto good work, but then gives us the power through the baptism of the Holy Spirit to no longer...

I believe you are as sincere as any of the millions who believe 1 John 1 says exactly as you think it does, that every word not only is to Christians, which it is as a teaching and reflection, but also is about Christians. But it doesn't and isn't. We all need to examine ourselves to see if we...

1 John 1:9 is for the forgiveness of our PAST SINS. Why do you think we are to commit sins IN CHRIST?

Hi Clint, This verse came to my mind. And it is more than going out to preach and you will be saved. It is not only believing in your heart, as how you said, "immersed in Christ," it is not being ashamed to act on it. Part of those actions is letting another baptize you in water from a good...

What I didn't understand, is why there was no mention of the eunuch getting the Holy Spirit.

Here's one: Acts 8: 34 So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. 36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water...

Do you believe in water baptism for a Christian?

So did you think thief was already baptized before being crucified, or wasn't? He knew too much to not already be a follower.

That's what I said. So what don't you agree with if we have overcome the evil one.

1 John 1:9 is how to become a Christian. This is how to become born again with a new nature, one of the Holy Spirit that loves what God loves, and hates what God hates. How many times are we born again? Did you read 2 Peter 1:9 that I quoted in my post? Focus on the last two words. If it didn't...

Where does it say the thief on the cross wasn't baptized? That assumption has been around a long time out of silence, but he had so much knowledge about Christ and His future kingdom, even while Jesus was dying, and he seemed to believe even more than the apostles, so how can anyone say it...

I believe total. We are set apart once we are cleansed of all sin. 1 John 1:9 There is a maturing needed, but it is not for overcoming sin as is the common unscriptural teaching for progressive sanctification. It is for maturing in the divine nature to become more and more like Christ. 2 Peter...

My first immersion baptism was in the SDA church I grew up in. My second immersion baptism was in CoC, but they believed in the gifts, and finally had to leave the denomination. Have you ever heard of Don Finto, Belmont Church of Christ? My third immersion baptism was after my baptism with the...

When did you get baptized with the Holy Spirit? Before or after?

I got baptized in water because I became born again.

I just printed this to look at in bed. BTW, I like how you think, and am also interested in more advanced thinking. I just need backup. good night.

I would like for you to backup what you are saying with Scripture. That's all.
