    What standard do you want to be judged against, the Bride of Christ, or the invited guests?

    Obviously a misfire. :oops: You should try again..at least once every 40 years. Why are you gloating over how long you have been in error? I was baptized into Christ by the Spirit 43 years ago...so what? I'm not about ego like you are.

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    I have to have great patience to try instructing you. We have to read the bible for ourselves...not just listen to online preachers. Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    No its not. I know this is wasted on you but...The grace is the resurrection life part. WE experience the power of the cross as a further act of grace once we have received the initial grace as a free gift...AS WE GO TO GOD IN A FULL SURRENDER. That is how we BUY the oil, the eye salve, the...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    You lie and twist what I say to justify your ego. This is all about you. And you use my doctrines...and then say they are yours when you realize that I'm speaking the truth. Anybody can ape an ideology. I know that you know nothing of what you speak. You are merely wanting to be covered in your...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    Only to a religious ideologue like yourself. IF...big IF....you have in fact received a talent from the Lord, you need to dig it up from whence you buried it. You don't understand the gospel...or the bible or even my words... I never said that being born again is by works. I said it was a...

    What standard do you want to be judged against, the Bride of Christ, or the invited guests?

    I am not the visitation of God. The RCC is not the visitation of God. I often witness to the things of God. You can read about Him in the bible. You can go directly to Him...no need for any temporal human conventions. But you will have to surrender your beliefs and reach out by faith.

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    Any other step beyond the first step in a race you call legalism. Obedience to God is not legalism. Faithfulness is not legalism. Spouting the same dogmatic mantra over and over IS legalism. Retreating into the recesses of your mind to obsess over religious ideology is not healthy. The power of...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    It's so funny how dogmatic religionists only ever talk about the first step in a race. It's as if they know they are not running the race. So they defend their first step as if that was the whole race. Imagine someone going for a job interview and they only fill out the date of birth. As if...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    human works...or human beliefs...all tricks that the canal mind plays on a potential disciple that short-circuit an actual connection to the living God..

    What standard do you want to be judged against, the Bride of Christ, or the invited guests?

    LOL. You put human beliefs even above the visitation of God. That in a nutshell is the sheer foolishness of your scheme. No fear of God, no humility, no respect whatsoever....just a self-interested dogmatism based on an ideology that contradicts the bible at every turn. But that's all you...

    What standard do you want to be judged against, the Bride of Christ, or the invited guests?

    I suppose that people who have had no actual encounter with God, no visitation, no power, are forced to make up a religious way to have the salvation of Jesus. But to twist the words of the bible brings with it a heavy judgment. It's best to remain humble and accept being a guest...without all...

    Believing without seeing (Faith before experience)

    Make believe beliefs you mean. Real faith has power. Read the bible.

    What standard do you want to be judged against, the Bride of Christ, or the invited guests?

    Superficial twisting of the words of the Bible....leaving out and adding in as you tailor your propagandist religious schemes. The curse of the law is through our inability without grace to fulfill it. But Jesus came to EMPOWER us to fulfill the law as He did. How? By grace through faith. You...

    What standard do you want to be judged against, the Bride of Christ, or the invited guests?

    This is going to test your reading skills to the limit and even beyond what your mind can handle.... That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. In your religious scheme you have Jesus fulfilling the law for us... instead of...

    Believing without seeing (Faith before experience)

    Thankfully, not everyone here has drunk the kool-aid like you and your like. A few still receive sound doctrine. Your insistence on believing a lie, although popular at this time, and until Babylon is exposed and destroyed, has a time limit. Better to repent now.

    What standard do you want to be judged against, the Bride of Christ, or the invited guests?

    You have God working against Himself. God makes a law....then He sends His Son so that we can ignore it? That's your religious scheme. The true gospel is about grace and the power to fulfill the law. Of ourselves, we are weak...and we have a sin nature that causes us to act out in the flesh...

    Believing without seeing (Faith before experience)

    I do podcast videos to help people out of their lack of proper instruction. But you can't learn anything if you don't watch them... :rolleyes:

    What standard do you want to be judged against, the Bride of Christ, or the invited guests?

    Here's the thing. Jesus says that we should take a low place...so that when the Master recognizes us He bids us to come up higher. But the one who takes the greater place....the higher place, if he is not meant to be there then he will suffer humiliation before all. In the parable of the...

    What standard do you want to be judged against, the Bride of Christ, or the invited guests?

    There is a difference between assurance of salvation and assurance of glory. Can you discern the difference?

    What standard do you want to be judged against, the Bride of Christ, or the invited guests?

    We can be forgiven when we repent. God is merciful. But the righteousness of Christ is only a covering for those who are crucified in the outer man and translated into the kingdom realm of the Spirit to walk as Jesus walked. How can we think that we bring Christ and His righteousness into our...
