Not in the slightest. Obeying your conscience where the moral laws are written is the New Covenant. Not the Old. The reason why the Old Covenant didn't make the Jews righteous was because they had to keep them in opposition to their nature. They still had sin in their nature. Romans 7:17 But...

The reason why 1 John 3:9 is true of a born again believer and cannot sin, is the same for Jesus. We were born again with the seed of the Father, and Jesus was conceived with the seed of the Father. That is how we are many brethren and can do and be as Jesus was on earth.

Thank you. We are back to being civil. Yay! :) Justification is being cleansed of all our PAST sins 2 Peter 1:9. At that time we have already repented and received the Holy Spirit that empowers us to not willfully sin. There is no such scripture to support justification or sanctification as...

If there was an error, it was not putting " marks around the word Christian. Lets put it this way. There are many fake Christians who are not true Christians. Understand now? A true Christian has been born again of the Spirit.

The substance of post number one, is that we are not Christians because we SAY we are, but keep sinning. We are when Jesus has taken away our sin nature and we don't commit any willful sin. That is why we must obey our conscience which is the same as what was born again in us - our spirit and...

What did you find to be contradictory. I read what I wrote and there was no contradiction, unless you made one in your mind. So what is it you are thinking?

I stand on that, because it is written. When we are born again it is because we have repented unto Jesus. Acts 2:38 says we then receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. At that point we receive the authorities in Mark 16:16-18, which includes speaking in tongues TO God (without interpretation being...

They cannot. That is why Jesus said we MUST be born again. That means we are born of God. Does God sin? So do we?

We are not in the Old Covenant where they had to memorize 613 commandments and keep them perfectly, because as James points out, if they broke one they broke them all. Tell me how the New Covenant is different. It is not the difference between Granny Smith apples and Delicious apples. It is...

You just answered correctly, but I'm not the one ignorant of the scriptures. The 120 were born again of the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. They weren't baptized with the Spirit until chapter four.

I just did. Evidently, you didn't like the answer. Read 1 John 3:21-24. I answer with scripture to stand on. So ask another question of what you really want to know.

No, the 11 were baptized in the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. It was their second filling. The 120 did not receive the Holy Spirit before the Day of Pentecost, so why did they speak in tongues? The answer is in Scripture, so study.

Obeying your conscience, and being a slave to righteousness. 1 John 3, and Romans 6

See, now you are side-lining the question and answering with "accepted." Who was BAPTIZED with the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost? And I didn't say anything before about the 120 being saved before, only the 11 apostles.

Jesus was certainly without sin, but He demonstrated the life of a BORN AGAIN Christian. Romans 8:29 shows that Jesus was the firstborn of many brethren. That is being like Him. Only those who are actually born again obey their conscience where the laws of God are written, and are saved.

Taken your question should be about willful, knowingly sinning. Does any Christian go against their conscience? That is not of faith, and a sin.

Nothing changed. So explain how the 120 spoke in tongues. The answer is in all scripture, it doesn't mean any scripture is changeable. There are only opinions that were based on the culture of the time that don't apply in other cultures and future cultures. They had to do with how the world...

See. This is proof you have not read post number one. Are you here to learn more, or just teach in ignorance?

The Spirit drawing us does not mean we are saved. Show me where you answered my question, and I will apologize. The question had to do with the words in Acts 1 - baptized in the Holy Spirit, not that He is WITH us. The Spirit is omnipresent, so is everywhere, so you are hiding ignorance with...

There are many who say they are Christians, but they still sin. The Spirit is still on the outside drawing them to Jesus, but they won't repent.
