I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on February 9, 1977 at 8:00 pm. The next day I noticed all desire to sin was gone. 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness...

No I argue against sinning in the future in the first place. Those who have received the power of the Holy Spirit, know what I'm talking about, but the carnal man cannot understand as they are still in a battle with the flesh everyday. And those who are in that state will never inherit the...

Open your mind. Or don't.

False? I thought you were one who knew the Bible! Oh well. 2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and...

I abide in Him and His Words abide in me. I have become a partaker of the divine nature. Have you?

The habitual sinner is a slave to sin and doesn't even belong to Christ. I'll let God deal with them when his angels cast them into the lake of fire. What my passion is for are those who are supposedly inside the church, but their false doctrine is leading others astray. Their main problem is...

You've got it backwards. I argue against it and I'm the farthest thing from the liberal Grace Movement. I'm very surprised you are not in it, as what I argue with you is what I argue with them. :)

You are right, it started in my mind seeing the contradiction and wondering why. That is what the Beareans did and they were honored. Others figure why study when the guy I'm following has already studied for me. Too bad Martin Luther was not a scholar.

What you don't understand is the power given us by Jesus. Yes, Jesus did not sin. What you don't know is we are given the SPIRIT OF CHRIST. His power over sin is given to us! Did you know that when we are born again of the Spirit, our spirit or nature becomes divine?

No one teaches this that I know of. But Marks posts seem in line with this truth. But I learned Semitic writing styles of the apostles. Most westerners on the globe think with Greek style mentality, but the apostles wrote in the Hebrew style. Whenever you see contrasts (the name of this...

I wrote this post in response to your mocking me as if I didn't know that only our PAST sins are forgiven. That is what I teach, so, YES, I know that! What I don't teach is we are forgiven our past, present and future sins as many do. That is unscriptural, and denies the power of the Spirit...

Me? You've already got that job covered. Okay that's the last barb shot in jest. Let's grow up, and be more loving. I just had to chuckle that you believe there is no such thing as a Christian who has been freed from sin. Many go to church all their lives and have never experienced being freed...

Some Christians believe they have the Spirit just because the Bible says they must in order to belong to Christ. And yet they cannot relate to 1 John 3:9 in their own life.

I think we are pretty much on the same page so far. It is rare that I find any like-minded Christians that actually understand the Scriptures, and not what dead liberal denominations tell them to believe. Looks like we have other things in common too. I've been having a difficult time too. :)

Yes, I agree.

Are you serious? The way this is worded is hysterical! Did you mean to word it that way as if not sinning is wrong? The wicked, sin. Believers in God and His Son do not sin. But they have nothing in common with the wicked. BTW, 1 John 3:9 is commit, not practice. What you don't understand is...

No, I said YOU are taking 1 John 1:8 and contradicting 1 John 3:9, not John.

I agree. Romans 4 is right in the middle of Paul's teaching on the LAW. The culmination is chapter 8. What is a doctrine of demons is taking the teaching that we are not under the law in the middle and translate that as a license to sin. Many have done that, including Martin Luther. Jude 1:4...

Yes, I know. When we repent all our PAST sins are cleansed. What you don't understand is why only our past sins are forgiven. What happens then? Do you know? Do you understand the significance of why the disciples were told to wait in Jerusalem? What were they to receive? POWER

He's right. Except he's got it a little twisted around. The truth is we are dead to sin because of the indwelling of the Spirit of Christ. The law was to show us our sin, but if we are dead to sin, then there is no need for a law showing sin we are dead to.
