I think this has to do with the reward at the end...the inheritance and any reward due the athlete of God. Yes and no. I think people confuse purity and maturity. One is instantly sanctified by the blood of Christ that cleanses us from ALL sin. Instantaneous holiness based on being IN Christ...

Gnosticism 101. And you are doing what you say others are doing....you worked out your own salvation...but with hubris and narcissism. False. We are not superior to the Jews who failed in the wilderness. We also fail....and more surprisingly so...since we are ignoring the warnings even as we...

It just seems like that from your legalistic cult theology perspective. I speak the truth. because of that many will flip their own error onto me and claim I'm doing what they are doing. So you have described your own religious condition. I have faith in God....not some religious formula. And...

This is where you are not understanding Paul. The gift of righteousness is not the same as an initial gift of grace. One is the sample (free gift) and the other must be sought after and "bought"...as the fulness of grace. Only careful readers will pick up on the way Paul expresses himself. The...

Paul was not a Calvinist but neither was he a name-it claim-it artist, but that doesn't seem to deter you. :rolleyes: o_O

If you were to open up a bible instead of parroting an invented ideology you are now indoctrinated in...you would read about the blood of Christ CLEANSING from sin...into holiness. The gospel is not about forgiving people who are in bondage to sin. Read the bible. Jesus came to set the captives...

LOL. All you understand is indoctrination. I was actually truly converted and taken up into Zion to walk there in the light in the power of Christ's resurrection. The poverty of your position and experience makes trying to convey simple spiritual things with you impossible. I guess you will...

For what it's worth, the bible has a funny way of being translated at times. I don't believe the translators were prophets....they didn't know what the gospel is about. But as to the text....Paul was not PRESENTLY in the Spirit when he wrote the epistle to the Phillipians. Paul was NOT speaking...

Churchianity, yes. Religious pretenders aside, unless one is actually born in Zion, the bible remains misunderstood. You are trying to understand carnally what is meant to be understood spiritually. A lot of that going around. No. God imputes righteousness (human) either by works or by faith...

Yes and for the sins of the whole world. Read the bible. I never said that. You misread anything you try to read apparently. I'll try explaining it again. Jesus died for the sins of the world. I never said that. I said that God's righteousness cannot be imputed to anyone. Again, since you...

What you are doing with the reading of the bible is not justification by faith....it is self-justification by beliefs.

Jesus came to save us FROM our sins not IN our sins. So you are barking up the wrong tree when it comes to being saved in the present. A future salvation is always possible based on God's mercy. Why do people deny the power of the gospel even as they purport to embrace the message of the...

True words indeed. Most evangelicals have their own private interpretations based on preferences and carnal understanding. Too many vague ideas...too much imagination and figurative ideology. Too much name and claim. Too much narcissism and selective reading. Not enough honesty and reading...

There are different levels to being a Calvinist. Maybe you aren't too severe in your own viewpoint. Accomplishes? Here are you referring to a liberation from sin? If so, agreed! We can't save ourselves from sin. If you are talking about a later inheriting of life....that is by God's mercy. If...

The context is blessed is the man to whom iniquity is not imputed. That means we need to stay away from iniquity...or we will be found out. We are told to depart from iniquity. Those who do not...like most modern believers...will be found out. It's like saying...happy is the one who is not...

Wanky doctrine alert. Behold is just taking the same flawed logic to its obvious conclusion. If you thought it out logically, you would realize you are in the same trap as Behold. God can only impute to us what comes from us. Look up the meaning of impute. Learn and cease from ignorance...

In this episode we will be seeking to rightly divide the tenets of Calvinism by means of a commentary of a video made by someone who gives his reasons for abandoning this position.

If you can see that much, then why do you defend the doctrines of men that have brought worldliness into the church....now become a refuge for the unbroken outer man sin nature? And why are you against the higher walk and the calling into the kingdom reality of the Spirit? Honesty works if it...

Amen. The gospel has been reduced to a low standard that doesn't require deep repentance and discipleship. Those who seek for true discipleship in the system churches will never find it. People can't help you if they are as poor as you are. And those who look to make disciples in the system...

This is carnal reasoning. Sin separates us from God. Repentance brings God's mercy. If you think salvation is unconditional then you are anti-law...basically lawless. Grace gives us the power to walk in accordance with God's law.
