    The Holy Spirit's Really!??? ;) Each person has to be convinced according to what the bible says ought to happen to those who are followers of Christ. Miraculous things. right. You have need that no man teach you, for the Spirit will guide you into all truth. Exactly my position and...

    Believing differently as in the difference between building a house or burning it down? You may be getting on in years but primitive??? ;) OK. Whatever is required to get to you both a purity in Christ's divinity, and a maturity in Christ's humanity. :)

    LOL. The parable I referred to (the parable of the vineyard) is not an OT symbology...but something Jesus said in the NT. In your quest to follow Paul and Pauline..you are throwing away Jesus and His words. It is the words of Jesus that bring life....not the words of Paul. Paul pointed to...

    I have no idea who you are? You ask questions...are you a reporter? If you are more than just a poster on a forum...why hide your identity? Are you undercover at the moment? ;)

    My move OK. I take your bible and I raise you an actual reading comprehension of it. Go and read that bible. :) Your move.

    Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. To whom can we attribute the...

    The first. I know what is coming on the church...but not the world. But then, what happens to the church has an effect on the world.

    Reader please. This man knows not much. First...Maran atha is ARAMAIC and it means the Lord is coming...or has come. Semitic languages use the past tense at times to denote the future. As in a done deal. No you are not. :) Remember...casting down imaginations...the first step in spiritual...

    No. I have operated in many of the gifts..including interpretation of tongues...only once, in the assembly where I stood up and was speaking at the same time as the one speaking in a tongue. Everyone KNEW it was not from men. But I am more prophetic in my gifting. How about yourself?

    False. Every person is responsible for their own actions...especially believers. There is a judgment coming on the house of God..and it's gonna get hot. false again. It was evil men that made Jesus to be sin. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. If you want to understand the...

    The Holy Spirit IS God. God is Spirit. As such we can impute God's righteousness to the Holy Spirit. And we can impute God's holiness to the Holy Spirit. And we can be correct. To impute God's righteousness to a created being is actually idolatry.

    That's not how judgment works. We will be judged not for what Jesus did...but for what we did with what we have been given. ALL outward behaviour is imputed to the person doing it. Even though, yes the saint has God working through him...the works are attributed (imputed) to the saint. The...

    If I ask someone....do you have God's righteousness? Many will err greatly and say, yes. OK Show me that righteousness! Puzzled looks ensue. If I ask someone if they have the gift of tongues..a few will say..yes. OK... show me the gift. Then they will proceed to babble on for an unreasonable...

    Your confusion is maybe not the same as other readers. I have tried to explain to you the difference between a gift and imputation. But your pettiness will now take over, completely ignoring what I said. In your own mind, perhaps. You never ask for clarity but look only to accuse and claim...

    The only people that could impute the righteousness of God to a human...are other humans. And they would be wrong. That would be idolatry. God doesn't impute HIS righteousness to anyone...because no one is as righteous as He is.

    LOL. I have a sense of humour...but come on. ;) Not of WORKS lest a man boast. You want to destroy faith as well? See, you are twisting the bible into a pretzel here. Oh my. What do you drink with your pretzels? :beermug:

    I suppose I have to answer this post as it does raise up something that needs to be taught. 1. A gift is NOT the same as having something imputed to you. Explanation: "The sound came from the engine." The sound was imputed to the engine. Do we say...the sound was a GIFT to the engine? Well, if...

    Thank you for your contribution. You actually address the OP...which is kind of rare these days. I think we all have to do our due diligence where it comes to being responsible to God for our spiritual direction. To each his own. I rely not so much on what other people have found to be...

    Even demons believe in Jesus, and they tremble. Do you tremble or are you religiously smug? You demean what faith is. You have to come out of your indoctrination and actually seek the Lord. For real.
