I'm a little confused, could you tell me why you believe speaking (I assume in prayer) to the Spirit through your spirit is in a language other than earthly? What or where does "a prayer language from God which no man understands" come from? When I speak through my spirit to God in prayer, it...

The faithful saints as complete human beings with body + spirit as living souls are spiritually with the Lord in heaven the moment we are born again of His Spirit. And nothing in heaven or this world will ever be able to take us spiritually away from him, not even death of our body. The soul...

Godslittleservant, you are not teaching harmony without contradiction of the Word of God. You are forcing disharmony and contradiction teaching that man must be baptized in water to be saved. Salvation is God's gracious free gift to mankind who believe the Gospel. But mankind, being...

Calvin intended to put out a complete commentary of the Bible, but his death prevented this. He did not write commentaries on the books of Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, 2 & 3 John, and Revelation...

You're beginning to sound like a broken record, and clanging cymbal! If you want to continue to rely on mankind for understanding of Scripture that's your prerogative. I've come to assume you have never learned how to study the Word of God, and are therefore dependent upon others to lead. The...

But praise God, I have help through prayer and Christ's Spirit in me. When I err in understanding I find these to be my most valuable assets. John 14:26 (KJV) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all...

The book of Revelation was included in the Holy Scriptures and accepted by the Church from 419. However, the greatest reason why it is canonical is its authenticity. Polycarp was a disciple of John and attested to its veracity; both Irenaeus and Hippolytus have written and exegeted it. Justin...

There is a crucial rule that must not be ignored if we desire to rightly understand biblical doctrine. That is our understanding MUST NEVER FORCE CONTRADICTIONS INTO THE WORD OF GOD! Contradiction forced into the Word of God means our understanding is not biblical, because God does not...

Prove what you allege from the Word of God! You're clinging to an unbiblical doctrine and refuse to be corrected no matter how many verses prove you are in error. Nowhere does the Bible say we MUST be baptized in physical water to be saved!

I believe God, and trust that He has preserved His Word as He says He would throughout the generations! Why would I want to chase after other non-canonical books to find biblical truth? Sorry but it makes zero sense to me!

My ultimate authority is the Word of God! If my elders are not in agreement with the Word of God, or they give advise that goes against biblical doctrine, then I would be a fool to listen to them. And I would look for a Covenant body of believers, called Church where the leadership of the...

If you are relying on them for biblical truth, you better start praying they have all truth. Of course, how would you know if they do or not since you are depending on them without studying to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who need not be ashamed!

Sorry to disappoint you, but I follow the doctrine that comes from the Word of God! I would hope that we all follow after the doctrine we have learned from Holy Scripture, and not the doctrines that come from men. It's not that we must not listen to others, many of whom have far greater...

I accept the Bible as has been passed down by faith. Clearly many before me do not accept the book of Enoch should be included in the canons of Scripture. There is nothing to authenticate the book of Enoch are words that proceed from the mouth of God through His Spirit, and therefore the Word...

I've learned only a fool follows the doctrine of man. So let me turn the question on you, from whom does your understanding of Scripture come from? What man/denomination has taught you? Mt 18:17 is confirmation that within the Church on earth there are both believers and unbelievers growing...

The Bible prophesy came "not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake (as they were) moved by the Holy Ghost." Why would I trust the apocryphal books as belonging to Old Testament canon without proof they were written by men of old under the inspiration of God, moved by the...

If by water you mean Holy Spirit baptism that comes by hearing the Gospel that is the living water of life. Baptism through physical water is an ordinance that Christ said should come after a man/woman has been taught/discipled. So, all who profess faith in Christ (a disciple) are called to...

He was talking about the Church that consists only of those who have been born again of the Spirit of Christ. How could He be talking about the Church that exists on this earth? The Church as She is in this world is not pure, but polluted with tares, wolves in sheep's clothing, liars...

I think an example of laws Jesus was not pleased with came by Moses because of the hardness of their hearts. Through this law a bill of divorce was written for whatever excuse served them. But from the beginning God said that when two were joined together in marriage they became one flesh, and...

Were they awaiting a resurrection, or a home in heaven? Hebrews tells us these Old Covenant faithful saints patiently waited, looking for a heavenly dwelling place. Perhaps these saints of Old believed that heaven would be a transitional place, a place where the spiritual body of believers...
