As we see here... In Christ is no sin. We have access INTO Christ by grace through faith to do what is impossible for the flesh. God invites us into a heavenly walk...in His love, joy and peace. From there we do the will of God and are empowered in a walk over sin.

You have a double speak filter going on. Either you believe in a higher walk in Christ without sin...or you don't. By FAR the vast majority of those who have been promised life by pastors and institutions have no idea of any power other than what they can generate from themselves. That's why you...

I think we need to walk in the Spirit to fulfill Romans 8. If that takes a 2nd blessing then go for it. Seek the Lord for His power at the throne of grace. I, personally, received that baptism on the first go. I don't know that affects the writing. But if you mean in one phase of his...

Waiting to die to be "purged" of one's sins is the height of futility. Fear God and depart from evil...now...before you die.

This goes directly against the gospel. Jesus died to sanctify us....that we may be partakers of His holiness. So you want a lower standard of justification without holiness. And you no doubt want forgiveness without holiness. So that He finds us in that grace. Paul says...that I may be found...

That's false. You are saying you don't believe in God imputing righteousness on those who have faith. God is not a pretender. Unlike people who CLAIM to have God's own righteousness based on religious beliefs, assumptions, and presumptions.

I'm not seeing this as a carrot and a stick but as a doctrine that spoils people from seeking God. If you think you are that precious that God only wants to purge you from your sins AFTER you die...then there is no point to faith in the gospel. The gospel saves us, purges us...NOW. Or it is...

Well you can pretend to agree with me, in a surface way. Since I don't know you and have to rely on what you write...yes, you can fool me. But if you understand what I'm writing then why wouldn't I think that's a good thing? Are you saying you only agree to get along...to win approval? I think...

When? After you die? false. More mischaracterization. How are we judged? By our beliefs? Do you know what is says in the bible...over and over and over?

That's your comparison. Exactly. I'm here in the lower walk speaking of the higher walk. But that is God's doing as I prefer to walk in the higher walk. It just so happens that I "surrendered" my higher walk...not to help others (God's purpose) but because I was found unworthy over time...

The elect are justified by the POWER of the cross...as Paul says...it is no longer I who live. This is by the justification of life...and eternal kind of life that has no sin in it. As we walk in that victory we show forth God's righteousness.

The pot calling the kettle. You have no works at all. And you trust in your BELIEFS. Faith takes you to God...what you foolishly call "works". :Ohpleze: How can anyone be that confused? :ummm:

I am claiming to be walking as a man...not an apostle. You are making this a battle of the egos....that I'm not interested in. But I still know of which I speak. That's why we are chatting. A conversation. If I can show you that your reasoning is off, that doesn't mean I claim to be a Paul...

Another thought on this. The difference we need to know is between what we THINK has been imputed to us and what we are actually doing. No one is judged by what they think is imputed to them...but by their works. Pretenders are NOT encouraged in the Body of Christ...or they shouldn't be.

And you will think less and less of me as I expose you to more and more truth. Judgment day is a day of great wrath. That is not the time where pretenders, imaginers, hypocrites, and gross sinners are "liberated" from the fruits of their doings.

God is Master of prophecy...because He sees the future as if it was the present. God decides what faith is....not people. When a person has faith they are translated into the heavenly kingdom realm. That's how you know you have "saving" faith. God sees the future. He knows when we say...

That's not what judgment is about. NOW is the time to be set free...not later when people are forced to admit their sins. The bible says that EVERY KNEE will bow. And Universalists think that means ALL will be saved. Using your reasoning you have to admit the same. But to be found out as a liar...

The god of your own navel. Again, I testify of God's power over sin...and you call that self-righteousness. Why? Because you believe there is NO victory over sin possible...so any reference to that victory must be coming from a human effort. And you believe this because you deny grace and...

Better yet to depart from iniquity. Better to humble oneself in godly fear and stop naming and claiming things AS IF they were true...but are not. Part of spiritual warfare is to cast down imaginations. My next podcast is about that very thing....spiritual warfare. :)

The opposite is true. All covenants with God are conditional. Israel broke covenant with God...otherwise there would be no need for a better covenant. The New Covenant is not like the other covenants. The NC is about an empowering to fulfill the law of God. If we remain sinners...then we break...
