I was speaking of church history, starting with Catholics, and the last four church ages out of the seven letters. The first is Thyatira in Rev. 2, that Jesus said, "19 “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first." As you...

Twice dead seems to mean annihilation.

If so, then you do NOT believe that the gifts of the Spirit of our New Covenant ceased. But I still don't know what the scoffing was all about. Scoffing is unbelief.

The flesh is the old man. It was the sin nature. It is our nature that must be born again of the Spirit. Once cleansed we are no longer in the flesh, but in the Spirit. You can't be both.

This seems to be a mistranslation, because it not we who puts to death the deeds of the flesh, but the Spirit only. We can't. We are either in the flesh, or in the Spirit, but not both. Romans 7:5-6 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work...

Who said I was Catholic?

I'm not in any cult. I follow Christ and the apostles, and stay away from post apostolic church fathers. Curious about your scoffing emoji. Are you a cessationist?

I believe every word, e. My eyes and ears have also been opened by the Spirit of God, but I haven't seen Jesus, nor heaven nor angels. What I see is the anointing on a pastor, but only during his sermon. On two pastors and one woman it was glowing white. But in Pentecostal churches it is cobalt...

Yes, and John 8:34-36 shows us that as children of God we do not sin. Those who sin are slaves of sin and are not children of God.

You are quoting Galatians 5:17, but the publishers of the Bible made an error. The Holy Spirit doesn't war against the flesh, because we are not in the flesh but in the Spirit if the Spirit of God dwells within us. They capitalized the "s" when it should have read spirit/mind. Paul is quoting...

I want to hear it too

The gospel is the power of God. Power to be what?

The core of the issue is the sin nature. Do you believe you do not have a sin nature, or did Jesus leave it intact when he cleansed you? If so, what did He cleanse?

I'm curious which denomination would scoff.

That is why 1 John 3:9 does not have the word "practice" in it, that was added. Once we are born again of the Spirit, all we have to do is follow our super-sensitized conscience. It is the power in "power steering."

What part of you is cleansed? Do you believe like millions of Christians that you still have a sin nature?

It was the sin I couldn't turn away from by myself. When I finally turned the whole matter over to Jesus, that was what true repentance meant, and Jesus took away all desire to commit adultery, making me born again of the Spirit, and I was not only saved, but I was filled with God's presence...

What happens then? Once you repent and believe on the Messiah, what happens then regarding sin?

Baptist?

Lutheran?
