I think you are confusing eternal life with an after-life...a Valhalla kind of life after you die. Do you see that as "going to heaven"??? You could be mixed up with that and the KIND of life that Jesus was resurrected to give those who come after Him. A further confusion is you are confusing...

:watching and waiting:

As I have stated before, this is not right. The foundation is God's not ours. That foundation is to build where HE is...not where you are. So you are bringing the uncrucified ego into the mix...therefore you will not be able to build with materials that are holy and perfect. The foundation is...

This only works on the level of holiness. No one is partially holy. Either one is holy or not. We are all lost sheep until we are walking in an intimate relationship with God...in His power and in His location. In Christ we don't sin....we walk in the same life and power that He did. So then...

Good to hear and welcome back! :)

Hey Johann! Good observations and correlations. Are you the same Johann from before??? ;)

Of course not. But that is the theology that will see multitudes rejected from the kingdom. The first cut is away from the world... outer wickedness...doing obvious evil. But in the wilderness God pleads with us into the 2nd cut...which is to cut away our iniquity, self-interest...

I see a fundamental misunderstanding about God's requirement in the New Covenant. The righteousness of the law is like being given a small spoon and told to fill a container the size of a city. Of course many will try and fail in the attempt. It looks to be possible until you realize the scale...

Unlearned and spiritually inexperienced people twist Paul's words. Peter warns us about this. Paul is speaking about justification by faith....which is a basic righteousness...OUR righteousness. The righteousness of God is by entering INTO Christ to walk as Jesus walked in His life and power. As...

This is a major deviation from the biblical narrative. The bible makes a distinction between being corporately in Him and individually in Him. As in...not all are Israel who are in Israel. Jesus is able to spit out of His mouth the ones who retain iniquity...by believing things about themselves...

I think you have uncommon insights from the Lord... :) <><

Do you find yourself questioning man-inspired doctrines and traditions and the religious certainties associated with these? Are you outgrowing the framework that holds you back from spiritual growth? Join me as we explore what it means to be apostolic in our pursuit of Christ.

And this doesn't mean that a person who looks back will be damned or barred from the kingdom walk in the future. It means the person isn't yet ready. I speak from personal experience.

While this is true...one can begin in the Spirit and not continue by the Spirit. Read about the Galatians and Paul's warning to them. Once we have taken a first step by the Spirit...we need to move on and be careful of the subsequent steps without always looking back to the beginning. Many will...

God will only impute what He sees...not by imagination...but in truth. Abraham was righteous in His eyes. God imputes righteousness by either works or faith. He SEES fit to do such things. He can impute either righteousness or iniquity...or whatever else He sees. My position is one that is both...

The sample of grace is free. To have the full measure of the product (grace) we need to sell all and buy it as per Jesus. Any other consideration is a false gospel.

No. God is merciful. Read the the bible. Being born again is a SAMPLE of grace freely given that we get to taste the Lord's goodness..otherwise we could never surrender to Him and sell all we have to buy the full measure of grace that overcomes all sin. No. Jesus was RAISED for out...

Why can't salvation be both for the inner man AND the outer man? Making the narrow way the broadway again?

It's not about forgiveness. That is a shallow and misguided delusion...the Great Delusion. The cross is about death...the death of the outer man of sin...and freedom...FREEDOM from sin. In Him is no sin. The cross is about ATONEMENT...cleansing from all sin...to be as holy as God is holy. And...

Are we to follow Christ after we die? Are we to seek the kingdom of God after we die? I think most people have not thought this through...instead going with the modern flow....following other sheep rather than Christ Himself. How many think Christianity is about an after-life? A Valhalla...
