I was speaking to Roland N. I know you are not Calvinist, and neither am I.

I don't think you know by experience the power of Jesus' blood and how we can live in faith - which is obedience and trust. 1 John 1:9 is to receive the Holy Spirit just like Acts 2:38. How many times do you need to receive the Holy Spirit in order to be empowered to not sin? cc: @Behold Who...

When I was born again I could hear God's voice then and from then on. It was He that told me a few months later to "Now, be baptized in water." That was the fourth time, but to God, the FIRST. That was 1977, and I was called to the office of teacher by God's voice in 2000. And I agree, our sins...

also @Christophany Hi guys, haven't you seen the two different fillings of the Holy Spirit in scripture? It is only the second one we receive that is called the baptism of the Holy Spirit for ministry. Here, I'll show you. The first is to be born again of the Spirit and freed from sin (the...

I agree, and that is why I teach what I teach. I was water baptized three times BEFORE I was born again of the Spirit and my life changed. I was 30 years old. What a shock to realize for all those years of going to church thinking I was saved, God was only "drawing" me to Christ. I still hadn't...

Right. That is what I said, "They aren't even a Christian." However, they can think they are because they want to sin, but not be condemned for it, so use Jesus as a one-way ticket to heaven. Their denomination teaches them only that Jesus frees us from condemnation, but erases the "condition"...

What makes you think I don't agree with that assessment? I do. That is why I am so afraid of all these false doctrines in the Church that people believe they are saved when they don't even belong to Christ because they are not born again? Or do you believe that everyone who goes to church is...

I said: Only without the infilling of the Holy Spirit is it US TRYING to be righteous That person is not born again. They aren't even a Christian. That was the Jews of the Old Testament. They were TRYING to be righteous by following the Ten Commandments. They were legalistic, not Christians...

I agree. Isn't this what you mean? Only without the infilling of the Holy Spirit is it US TRYING to be righteous from our mind and willpower from knowing and acting on the Ten Commandments. There is no TRY with the Holy Spirit; there is only ARE. With the Holy Spirit what we do is being lead...

It would have been around the start of the New Covenant, and everyone in heaven saw it including all the angels and OT saints. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

Call me names. I don't care. I will still teach you the truth whether you take the advice or not. It is for your own good if you would listen once in a while. You are taking up the bad habits of the haters on the forums. I've got a thick skin.

We are to obey our conscience where God writes His laws. It is easy not to sin when you don't have any desire to. But if your conscience is still dead you will have a desire to sin.

Rev. 12 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who...

We all must work out our own salvation. If you want to SAY you have newness of life while behaving as a sinner, you'll find out the hard way. John is talking about the difference between WALKING THE WALK, and TALKING THE TALK - but lying like you are. You are NOT walking in newness of life if...

Don't play ignorant. It is plain as day. The key word in verse 8 is SAY. See how John uses the word in chapter two. Don't believe that God doesn't do what He says. When he cleanses us of all sin after we confess our sins, how much sin is left? 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep...

Because you 'agreed' to this false belief of the devil. "You will never become sinless and perfect in this life. You are clothed in His righteousness. You are still a sinner."

Anyone who brags they will sin until the day they die is trusting in the author of sin, the devil, and not who takes sin away, Jesus.

@Behold I need to do some errands. Talk to you later. Go take a much needed nap!

@Behold Or, with Jesus IN you would you not take it in the first place, because your conscience won't let you?

This can be taken one of two says, and I still don't know if your believe the truth or a perversion, so please be clear. If as a born again believer, you take a pen from work, is that sin, or no sin?
