    Heart Talks on Holiness

    That's just an ego religionist saying..."look at me"...("I know how to continuously say things to puff up my outer man!") But there is no love there...no truth...just an empty religious parroting of slogans that take the Lord's name in vain.

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    One does not even have to be a spiritual person to discern religious bigotry. YOU indeed need to have faith in Christ...and stop just pointing Him out. You are in fact pointing in the wrong direction...since you don't know Christ...only a religious representation of Him. You are constantly...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    A righteous person doesn't cause divisions. We can only operate at the level of a humble selfless discernment. Its the conflict of interest that is telling. 1. We are to judge righteously (all of us) those who bring in obvious divisions...so that any person on the street would think the person...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    OK. Then you are to follow Christ on the level of your calling. The danger for you is to judge others whom God has called higher. There is condemnation for those who call the truth a lie...goodness as evil...light as darkness. If you can avoid that, you will be fine. God expects nothing more...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    You are missing the point here. God punishes mankind for not receiving His word at the lowest possible resolution...that of righteousness. The fact that the same words can speak on more than one level means that God is inviting us to come up higher into fellowship with Himself. Here is an...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    The opposite is true...and you reveal yourself as someone who is looking for approval from men. The truth stands whether people receive it or not. You are a false prophet that has no discernment at all. Having NOT experienced the deeper walk or anything eternal...makes you unqualified to judge...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    Thank you for your warm welcome! You don't see that much around here. What I see is that one verse can mean more than one thing. The bible is written on more than one level. Hence the tendency to get mixed results when trying to "pin it down". The bible is not a book of religion or philosophy...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    How did the early church choose the bible canon for the New Testament? Did the bible fall out of the sky.? Did the bible birth the church...or did the church birth the bible? The latter is true, of course. So how did they choose what is scripture and what isn't? I believe it is by the...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    This is far from true. Quite the opposite in fact. 2 Tim. 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Reading this again. Brengle lasted 15 years in the higher walk...he is a wiser man than me. Maybe the fact that there was a supportive "movement" at that time towards holiness was a major factor.

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    The Salvation army...and others... called the baptism in the Spirit and the elevated walk that followed, "the second blessing." Holiness movements have come and gone and each had their own terminology. I try to keep to biblical terminology. I don't see holiness as a movement...but as something...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Folks, this is very simple. Out of the 12 spies that were sent into Canaan land only 2 had a good report. The others were scared. When the 2..Joshua and Caleb, gave a good report...they were hated, shouted down, some even wanted to kill them. Any preaching of the cross and the higher walk will...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Are you really that naive and ill-informed? Maybe you are not spiritual, but just a down-to -Earth practical person that can discern unrighteousness in the people here who grandstand with a holier-than-thou attitude in judgment of others. And that is a good basis. But take things further than...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Why is it when I discern and correct you you take offense? Is that not the outer man of the flesh puffed up by vain religion seeing himself (herself) as being too lofty for such treatment? And I do read many of your posts...and they have that smell of death to them. And you dissimulate about...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    That's why we need to put on Christ...and HIS perfection. I think you are the liar. You deny the power of the cross and the power of grace. Why do that? What is your agenda? Not so. You maybe need a flesh vacation. But you are in no way an example or in any position to teach others. The...

    Born again = No Sin

    You need correction...and I'm here to stop you devouring the simple ones who think you have anything meaningful to say.

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    No one can grow INTO holiness. You can only fall FROM grace. The maturity of a carnal walk is not the same as a maturity in a holy walk. Since you don't actually believe in the higher walk that is in holiness....because of unbelief you will not enter in... you are stuck in a religious circular...

    Born again = No Sin

    Being born again is only a beginning...not an end in itself. It is a sample of grace that is insufficient to overcome sin as Jesus did. For the full measure of grace we all need to GO TO GOD personally to receive power from on high to walk as Jesus walked. Those who oppose this teaching...this...

    Born again = No Sin

    Vain repetition? A carnal religious mind stuck in a rut? A virtue-signalling plea for support from others? You say that Jesus is NOT an anointing. Am I going to harp continuously on that? You have simply never known the risen Lord. Why should I be upset at that? You do get upset, however, when...

    Born again = No Sin

    This sound more like a confession than an accusation. :rolleyes: You like getting excited over semantics...because you are not tracking what I'm saying with any kind of logic or intelligent observation...just a religious backlash...and carnal reaction. Jesus atoned for the sins of the world...
