There is a huge difference though which you cannot but fail to notice. In an instant you are given a pure heart and hence forth, unless you fall from it, you do not have any thoughts that are ungodly. It is not like you get them but ignore them or cut them out. They do not happen. The human...

Amen! I know what you mean lol

Just to add, that it is assurance of salvation that we are given when delivered from sin, more than assurance of sinlessness. Both are the same. That is a first time revelation of that for me so thanks for the to and fro! We are saved by baptism (Spirit kind).

One baptism, into His death where the flesh is crucifed and we are tranlated into the spiritual realm where all things are made known and we are new creatures. This is when He comes again in this life - first encounter at conversion. Then we are given the power to BECOME the sons of God but are...

He is confirming that he has been deceived.

Yes God by the Holy Spirit had judged him and given him assurance. When the Lord comes is at His baptism with the Spirit when all will be made known. I think his words are pretty much clear.

Oh wretched man that I am!

Interpreting Romans 7. There have been two interpretations of Romans 7 which have dominated church history and which are sometimes known as the Primitive and the Post-Primitive. Augustine held to the Primitive in his early years, as did some of the Church Fathers and writers before Augustine...

King James Bible Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: 1Thes 2:10

Indeed he reached a point where he knew he was powerless against unintentional sin.

This is the main difference between us - your interpretation of Romans 7 which is not the early one in the church by the way. This says that Paul was already a follower of Christ and therefore loved the law in his inner man, but struggled due to his flesh still not being in its crucified...

It is in the beginning when we start on our journey. Our flesh is still active in us but putting it to death gradually is not what we need and in fact no-one has a testimony of this. We need to accept that the old man is crucifed and totally out of action in order to progress, which was already...

@marks I am remembering now the to and fro's we used to have about the flesh and you saying that the inner man is free even when the outer man, is sinning - unintentionally of course. I hope I got that right. This idea was condemned at some time. I will try again to explain my understanding...

It includes complete trust that Christ saves us from sin therefore we do not sin. It now depends on what we call sin.

'If the Spirit of God dwell in you' is the point. If. Most believers take it for granted that because they came to Christ at one point, try to be good Christians most of the time, read their bibles and go to church they are okay. However the scriptures are clear, the Holy Spirit can only dwell...

Sorry not sure what you mean exactly. I understand it as the two covenants depicated in the garden. The way of life, or spiritual death. Concentrating on individual sins does not get us out of the flesh. The flesh is an ongoing state unless we are delivered from it. We should be living in...

Walking in the flesh, means using our own understanding, even though we think we are walking in the Spirit, and we cannot avoid sin, although we are avoiding gross sins being 'good Christians'. Unless our hearts and minds are pure, we are in the flesh. We cannot control our thoughts which come...

It means the present active state/practice of sin. Or being in the flesh. We are in the flesh or in the Spirit. Eating from the wrong tree that was in the garden,

Sounds like you are in burnout and need to stop.
