Hi Axehead Is there the necessity of a `second blessing` generally?

Hi Mark Just because you met a fake/s doesn`t disprove the doctrine. It is true that today they are hard to find and many claim it but the proof is not there. If you were living in the 19th century you would not have to look so hard and amongst those that claimed sinlessness, their families...

Jack try English speaking unis in Holland or in Germany where a lot fo courses are free but if you have to pay they are much cheaper than US

Hi df I mean the two different ways that God has dealt with His people. I quote Andrew Murray from The Two Covenants : "In the Old Covenant man had the opportunity given him to prove what He could do, with the aid of all the means of grace God could bestow. That Covenant ended in man proving...

I believe that both covenants were in force from the begining. They are according to the two laws put into effect from eating of the fruit of the two trees. The `old` covenant is still in force today amongst those who are serving God from their human strength, albeit devotedly, but failing to...

Hi Mark There is a difference between someone who denies that Christ can save us from all sin despite the scriptures which confirm it, and the cloud of witnesses here and in the many writings of the church, and someone who believes this and is seeking it. Their hearts are not the same. One is...

Maybe I can throw in my understanding. There have been two laws since the begining - the law of life and the law of sin and death. They are depicted in the garden of Eden where we know of course that Adam ate from the wrong one. The one is walking in the flesh and the other is walking in the...

Mark I apologise for taking so long to get back. My time is pretty much taken up with worldly matters at present. Whoever says that God cannot fulfill the longing that He placed in our hearts for purity and for the power to resist sin in this life, is agreeing with the enemy of our souls and...

Hi JohnnyB Yes I agree. We come to Christ and are given the power to become sons of God. There is a vast difference between being a believer and being a Christian.

Thanks a lot for your welcome guys :)

Hi Mark Those who confess sins and agree with the doctrine, do so with shame and remorse. They are in agreement with God over sin and His desire for them to be sin free. In contrast, you and others are `preaching up` sin and opposing those who`s `error` is to proclaim that Jesus saves from sin...

Hi Axe You said I have a question. At that point of reckoning, when we see ourselves as dead in Christ, is Christ`s rightousness ours? Or are you saying that it develops from that point?

Hi Epi It was about 12 years ago that I was baptised in the Spirit and walked without sin for 18 months. I don`t remember exactly what went wrong but I wonder whether I started to rely on my strength and not the Spirit. I lost the joy and peace and spent the next 10 years longing to be...

Amen! God bless you Epi.

Hi Mark Faith alone is required to maintain the walk in the Spirit. Faith that Christ will keep one from sin, to give the power to escape every temptation that arises. It is the failure of that faith that makes a man fall. First of all he depends on his own strength and then the fall comes.

Hi haz I am not back to how I was as a believer but not saved from sin as I am able to not sin whereas before, there was something inside me that could not live in complete obedience even though I desired to. I struggled with my flesh at that time and had a problem with anger which I could...

Hi haz Believers still bring in doctrines of works, to be made perfect by the flesh when the flesh is under judgement. When I say believers I do not mean the born again who are in Christ and under grace. The disciples were believers before Pentecost. They thought that they had to work in the...

Yes he was a believer, and if his flesh (old man) was destroyed, then his spirit could be saved on the Day of Visitation. If his flesh was not destroyed, ie if he did not consent to the crucifixion of the old man because of unbelief, then he would remainn lost, even as a believer. Sadly many...

Hi Mark Paul is telling the Corinthians not to judge till He comes, not that he himself, Paul will not judge till He comes. Jesus had come for Paul when He returned to him to baptise him in the Spirit. "5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to...

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the...
