I read him as well along with Oswald Chambers, who said the same - submission to Christ in all things, not a select few things is required, and belief that what He obtained on the cross for us, not to be gradually put in practice, but belief in the power of God to deliver us from the power of...

Taken in context, the promises are for those in the promised land. Looking at the history of the children of Israel, most did not reach it. The whole of scripture is about God pleading with His people to repent and be restored. Why is there so much in scripture about this? You are trusting in...

You interpret it as you may. If you have not gone on to perfection then you have forgotten where you came from. Oh the carnal mind! Looks but does not see or hear. So many warnings in scripture that are annulled.

Those who have fallen from their first love ie how you were when you first came to Christ: So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. I will spue thee out. Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the...

We have the choice - remain where we are - settled on our lees, or we can hunger and thirst for righteousness. We have fallen from our first love (for Christ) and ignore the fact that Christ spits out the lukewarm as they make Him vomit. They are the children of disobedience and their end is...

No cross, no crown (Willian Penn).

As far as most believers know, two interpretations of Romans 7 have dominated church history and are, the so called Primitive (pre Christian) and the Post-Primitive (normal Christian). Augustine held to the Primitive in his early years but he changed his position to the Post-Primitive at a later...

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate *to be conformed* to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. "No one is predestined to be saved. A few are predestined to be holy." That is my understanding too Epi.

I'm coming round to that idea - two levels in the kingdom and it fits in with the early church teaching. Purification: where most believers are, with the Holy Spirit trying to convict them of sin, which is the state they are in if not in the next level Illumination. Most quench His work...

Welcome!

I did not mean it like that. All believers are given a measure of understanding but as there is much that is not simple to understand, and the deeper spiritual meaning, the purity of spiritual leaders is needed and note I said purity, or those with a single eye, not the double minded. These are...

@amigo de christo You bring up a very important question: wherein lies authority? Evangelicals say 'scripture' but it is impossible to read scripture without a lens unless one has 'graduated' in the school of discernment. This graduation is spoken of a great deal in the early church, and it...

They said it was unavailable. No worries I am listening to your podcasts :)

Very interesting John. I will think about it. Could not buy your book on kindle btw

Links please!

Not many here believe there is even such a thing as the higher walk. Well I wouldn't put it like that anymore. I would say there is only one walk - a walk in the Light, the rest is darkness. In the Light, we see Christ and with Him there is no sin. We cannot have fellowship with Him if we are...

Hey Epi how are you brother?

Hello again to anyone who remembers me from back in 2012. Hi @Episkopos I don't remember how we lost touch but good to see you here! Hope there are still preachers of holiness around. This month, on the 23rd I will have been a believer for 50 years. The first 17 or so of which I was carnal, I...
