    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    @Lizbeth Taking a break from going through Andrew Murray's book, written in South Africa in 1888, I found the website for Faith Mission Edinburgh, and listened to a podcast about holiness. It spoke about Keswick theology and reminded me of the main difference between that and the holiness...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Easy to be done once we are walking in the Spirit, when our power and strength comes from Him. And it comes when we see that it has already been done and faith in that enables it. All it needs is a drastic submission of the whole of ourselves. The not yet is simply caused by lack of faith in...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    I am sorry you were disappointed @MatthewG but I was already in conversation with @Lizbeth when you came along to challenge the ancient doctrine that was very much alive and kicking amongst the disciples of the apostles, and which has at various times, been difficult to find in the church but...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Indeed these are dark days. The holiness denominations grew out of the Holiness Movement that swept America and indeed they taught a later baptism of the Spirit which later Pentecostals said was for power and not the emphasis of the holiness churches on holiness being the result. One of the...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    I agree that we are to use the story of the Israelites as our example, and the three stage theology is in line with this. They were already followers and worshippers of Almighty God and during their journey fell captive to the law as we do when once having an encounter with the living God, we...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    @MatthewG It is true that flesh will never become perfect and that is why we must see it as crucified with Christ and dead to sin, the devil and the world. Satan repeats to every soul, his early deception however, in telling a man that perfect obedience is not expected by God, who in truth...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Yes there is a period of learning that all our works are as filthy rags, and there is always something that spoils even the best of our attempts of obedience, a stain of imperfection that we cannot go beyond, and a pure heart must be formed in us when He is formed in us and we are entirely His...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    A quick glance through the book of his that I have, has explained why I kept this one which I like the best as he is going through the subject in full rather than aspects of it. It is a 30 day study with copious notes and is very good I think. The way that Keswickian theology differs from the...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Indeed, they have the HOLY Spirit dwelling within and not just aquainted with Him if indeed they have been baptized into Christ. Many think that this has occurred but they have only been revealed the truth of it and Satan fools them into thinking that one can sin and be in Christ with whom...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    You are making the error of thinking that all who believe in God and have had an encounter with Christ are fully Christians. They are not until they have been delivered from the wiles of satan. They call themselves born again yet still sin.

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    @Lizbeth I am pleased to hear that you want to read the holiness teacher A. Murray but I must caution you about him and the version of holiness teaching he brought which is known as Keswick teaching after the town in England where it was popular after the revivals in Wales. There is much to...

    Restoring the Way of Christ

    @Episkopos I have a great deal of respect for Anabaptist David Bercot, mentioned in the video and agree with their stance regarding the separation of church and state. He is an excellent Bible scholar and takes great care with his studies, and is one of the few who recognize that Pelagius did...

    Why has the thread 'Why was "I am God" thread locked?' been locked?!

    I thought that where you discuss it is the issue.

    A rash

    I would look for advice such as Mamavation on FB to find sunblock that is not toxic.

    Job's friends failed him in his hour of need

    I believe that we may interpret the voices of the four friends, as trains of thought personified, which run through Job's mind during this period of utter darkness, as human understanding and the accuser's arrows are pitted against the light which he had previously received, if we consider the...

    Barna Poll: Most Americans - Including Church Members - Reject the Trinity

    @Matthias is correct about one important thing, that the doctrine of the Trinity being taught in the western part of the church, is NOT that which was taught from the beginning, though not as he explains it which was condemned as heresy. The west as a whole, are following wrong teaching which...

    The Chosen

    I .miss him too. I logged in one morning to see he had registered a new account with his full name, asking why his old account had disappeared. Then next thing l knew, he was gone, as you say, with nothing, no profile. I think he knew marks, and that he thought the same about you.
