I will not be able to get into this fully as it is bedtime for me, but I say that it is the words of a believer who otherwise could hardly say that he delights in the law. It is the experience of the believer but the next part has been left out by those who follow the Reformers. I do not accept...

I would not argue from the JW point of view. I would argue from the Historic Faith, in that there are three stages to Theosis. JW only got to stage two which is known as Keswickian theology. The Historic Faith named that Illumination which was found in the Glorification of Christ. So we could...

Well if you are truly a truth seeker, then you will have studied the opposite view to yours, and know the names of the best apologists like Leighton Flowers. You should also have been informed that the Historic Faith taught the holiness doctrine that you wish to deny ie second blessing holiness...

@Johann I guess it is okay if you have all day and nothing else to do. I don't. So you will watch videos from ex-Evangelicals which show that there is no ante-Nicene deterministic theology apart from that of gnostics? I will keep it in mind. Try David Bercot Anabaptist, ex JW ex Evangelical.

@Johann If you want me to hear you, don't keep posting videos without a precis. Thanks.

'His sheep hear His voice'. No, most mix truth with lies, Calvinists being the worst. Not Wesleyan no but not too far from his teaching on holiness. He missed the mark by not understanding the early church fathers enough.

He doesn't. That is why Reformed ministers preach lies. Only the Spirit within can confirm the calling which the Reformed will not experience.

Just to make it clear - what is going on in charismania is highly suspect. When I was a Calvinist, for 7 years or so - you're right, God never spoke to me directly. I never expected it and would have denounced it. But since then, and after reaching the stage of entire sanctification, Jesus...

This only works for believers who are content with a distant God, one who only communicates with letters. What would a marriage be like if the husband only wrote to his wife? Why would believers in the OT be blessed with hearing God speak to them yet we are not? Any extra biblical word from God...

@Johann You are confusing the 'old man' or old nature with self and interpreting the Greek as 'self' mistakenly. The KJV does not do that. Self is not the problem. It is in selfishness where we err. That is why self is to be denied not killed. We are told to: Leviticus 19:18 Verse Concepts...

One can of course find out if this is true or not by asking God and taking that necessary first step in submitting entirely to Him.

It is best understood as a position that one can reach, after conversion, where one has the power to walk in the Spirit completely but can fall from it. If one thinks that it is impossible to stop sinning, despite the verses that command it, then one will not reach that state or get to the end...

Yes thank you it does clarify what you meant. Agreed that Paul is speaking to those who are walking in the flesh and not the Spirit, those of whom who we observe when he gets to Romans 8. So God provides us with the power to overcome our carnal nature, having agreed to it being crucified. Yet...

Sister I encourage you to read this again slowly: "As we know, good exegesis consists of using the inductive method, in taking many scriptures, and deriving a general conclusion from them. ‘The number, clarity and relevance of those many passages is crucial to the theological conclusions drawn...

Paul wrote "if I do that I don't want to do, it is no more I who sin but sin living in me". Sister you are following the interpretation that came into the church later on, for that chapter. I won't overload you with the correct interpretation till you have a chance to catch up.

@Lizbeth wrote - And John wrote that if we say we have no sin the truth is not in us. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 1John 1:8. As we know, good exegesis consists of using the inductive method, in taking many scriptures, and deriving a general...

So your church taught that God does not heal at all today? My Calvinist background that I left did not believe that.

You suppose, but you should know if you are going to make claims. Most people get this one wrong, Continuists that is.

Cessationists are talking about the sign gifts, not miraculous gifts. That is to say tongues, or speaking in an untaught language, and the sort of healing we saw then, like what was witnessed from the apostles. They do not say that all miracles have ended nor that God does not heal miraculously...

Hi The HW believer, lives the crucified life in reality not just a position, whereby they are dead to sin, their passions, and the world through the power of the Holy Spirit which is not in full force in the training period. They truly have the new nature, which means that total obedience is...
