    Cleansing by the Word

    When people bring the world into the church, then the church becomes the same as the world. That's why we are called out of the world and the religious system that follows faithlessly behind it.

    Cleansing by the Word

    My dear brother Scott. The bible ONLY speaks of hierarchy...unless one is speaking of the righteous who inherit the nations. But even among the precious few saints there are different glories....gold, silver...like an Olympic race. Gold has more glory than silver. The 30, 60, 100 fold. Who do...

    Cleansing by the Word

    The wisdom of God is beyond understanding. I warn people of the coming judgment and they will say I'm being hard on them. What they are really saying is, I want you to be soft on me like all the churches I've chosen to be part of. So then why don't people see the double edged sword that is the...

    Cleansing by the Word

    The saints are empowered from heaven to be an overcomer as Jesus overcame. How? By abiding in Christ and walking in HIS resurrection life. The New Jerusalem, the holy city, is their citizenship. The saved are destined for the nations in the next age. The nations of them that are saved. These...

    Cleansing by the Word

    Sin is the proof that we are not walking in the full measure of grace. God says...My grace is sufficient for you. Sufficient for what? Victory over sin is the full salvation. It is about glory. But there is salvation as an inheritance for those who are not victorious in their walk. Salvation...

    Good comments. I was wondering if you could add what you said to the actual video. It's good to get different perspectives that can add to the initial episode.

    Cleansing by the Word

    We are called to add in our own love into the mix. 2 Pet. 1...add to your faith...so yes, the lower walk of walking in our own capacity still requires a love of others...especially the brethren. But pretenders and liars need to be called out....for their sake and those who fall victim to their...

    Cleansing by the Word

    You are unable to hear the truth in full resolution. The holiness standard is real...and all who claim to abide in Him will be judged by THAT standard. And you think it sounds harsh. The easier standard is based om mercy. But the pride of being religiously conditioned makes you want to be part...

    Cleansing by the Word

    The context of John 15 where Jesus says ABIDE in Me, come from the previous chapter 14 (same teaching)...whereby Jesus says He goes to prepare a place...abiding places for His Beloved. These places are in the Father's house. Where is that? In Zion...in the heavenly realm. Jesus tabernacles or...

    Cleansing by the Word

    The bible states... IN HIM is no sin. What it doesn't say is in YOU is no sin. People confuse having Christ in them with them being IN Christ. 1. Jesus is not PERSONALLY in a person...He is there in us the same way we have organs within us that we can't see...or like the way we carry a...

    Cleansing by the Word

    Pentecost was not about an indwelling Spirit. But power from heaven. You are WAY too blasé about what your read and equate your experience to be the penultimate thing...whereas you are just barely understanding the depth of the calling in Christ. Pentecost was about POWER from heaven that...

    What is 'called into marvelous light'?

    The kingdom of God is in the spiritual realm where there is a visible light. I'm speaking of having the spiritual faculty of seeing into the heavenly realm. God dwells in light. To be where He is to to walk in the light as He is in the light. We see this testimony of light with Paul who...

    Cleansing by the Word

    We who are called to be in Christ NEED that to save us. Otherwise we are lost. Others may not have that same need' Jesus didn't come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.

    Cleansing by the Word

    The devil swallows up new believers by indoctrinating them ....inoculating them from the truth by redefining words and using unbalanced interpretations that deny holiness AND righteousness. And one that indoctrination takes root it is almost impossible to dig up. It requires burning to remove...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Oh my. There is a LOT you are not seeing. Why do you limit God to what your tiny brain can assimilate? Where does the assumption of privilege come from? To whom MUCH is given MORE is required.

    Cleansing by the Word

    I will try to explain the bible to an untrained mind. :rolleyes: The passage above doesn't say....EVERY heart is deceitful. Jesus Himself corrects this notion by calling Nathaniel a man in whom is no guile (deceit)...AND Blessed are the pure in heart...for they shall see God. What is unsound...

    Cleansing by the Word

    But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.” For the time will come (and now is) when they will...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Grace is deceitful. You have nothing to compare your experience to...unless you read ACTS and compare to what a revival looks like. Again, your statements are all about you. A very childish and novice sentiment that has no grasp on the universal truth...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Human faith is all that most people have. Just look at how people read the bible...everything revolves around the SELF....the temporal needs of today or the promises in the future. No testimony of any present glory. So a little discernment is all one needs in order to see where a person is at...

    Cleansing by the Word

    Being cleansed by the word doesn't require a degree in theology. It is not a scholarly pursuit...quite the opposite. It requires a simple and child-like faith that many drift away from the more they study the bible. Why is that? A lack of understanding of God's ways. Adding in the human mind...
