Pentecostalism, took traditional holiness teaching and pushed tongues into it. It caused great dispute and division at the time, traditional holiness folk separating themselves from the errors. The problem with quoting scripture and arguing over it is that without holiness no man sees God which...

If anyone sins, is referring to what you said The confusion is over the difference between a believer and a Christian. When the scripture is saying that a Christian does not sin, the meaning is that if they do sin then they are no longer Christians but are still believers but who are not...

williemac It`s in the whole of the Bible. Sin is man`s problem and Jesus came to save a man from sin. The OT is full to the brim with the concept of holiness which is the condition of man with his sin problem dealt with. Only two choices, be a sinner or be saved, in this life not the next. Man...

You`ll find out one day - I`m not going to try to convince you but its the big lie that fools everyone.

Absolutely agree NetChap. Set apart to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Holy as He is holy. Sinless or not saved.

ChristRose From all the information I have read, women only mixed within their families in the family home. Yes I am sure that they were more knowledgeable about birth and death, but still, a first birth is very risky and is usually something that takes a bit of time. Its more than a matter of...

Women did not live a public life in those days. They spent their time in the home of either their father or husband and had no rights - only the man could instigate divorce. Women were merely chattels. The usual age of betrothal was 12 and the couple would marry officially a year later, with...

70 was my estimation of her age at her son`s crucifixion. At that time and with that culture, a teenage girl would not be having sex. Fathers would see to that.

If you had read my post correctly then you would see I did not think Mary was post menopausal. The word used for virgin merely means a woma who had not been married. The possibilty of a young virginal girl of 12-16 having an affair in a strict moral society is ridiculous but that would have...

Scott You are a devoted disciple and have a heart for God. You must have suffered much in the process of your journey so far. There is however, an error today affecting those who have not bent the knee to Baal and it will prevent them reaching the fullness of the stature of Christ. Satan is...

Scott Lets look at them one at a time. Agreed. Especially in the early stage but even at full stature, we can make a mistake in judgement and Wesley allowed for this. (I am not a Weslyan, definitely not an Arminian) As Wesley said, we can judge a person to be better than he is and misjudge a...

Scott Thank you it was useful to have the link to your blogs and the video`s so that I can fully understand your theology. Please understand that I am not one of the `wolves`. I do not plead for sin and in fact I go further than you. I do not believe there is a difference between deliberate...

Hi Scott Thank you for your reply. Agreed. Agreed. The man described believes that he is required to keep the law but tries in his own strength.I made this mistake but it was not my experience of it being before Christ apprehended me, I thought that I was as good as the next man. I did not...

That`s your interpretation - I don`t agree. Sorry if that was vague - yes I believe in sinless perfection.

To be saved from sin has no other meaning. Simple - no ifs or buts. Any other meaning is just a twisting of words. Although I am not a Protestant as I believe that the Spirit is our final authority, I respect the scriptures as inspired by God and will not be contradicted by the truth. The...

Even if he repents, it is not easy for him to be restored. Heb 6:6

Hi, he can sin but cannot remain saved if he does. Hi, yes indeed the baptism of the Spirit though to save by removing the sinful nature that has developed. Roman Catholicalism makes the mistake of taking things literally where they should be interpreted spiritually in the New Covenant. No...

I don`t know where you get that from. Nearly all Protestants believe in original sin although there is a movement today that is discovering just how misrepresented Pelagius was and is. They also mostly deny that holiness is for this life. They believe that God is merciful towards young children...

Hi Scott I`m just about 100% with you and am so pleased to hear you preach the truth in such a clear precise way. We will indeed walk in perfection and know and be known fully after death, but that death must take place in this life, as we consent to crucifixion with Christ and be raised with...

There are just so many things wrong with thinking that Mary was a young girl of 12-16. First of all, a girl`s body has not finished growing at this age - it is about 18 for girls and 21 for males. A pregnancy at this age would take up the nutrients needed by her own body and especially calcium...
