To be fair, you haven't answered my question, only answered with a question to me #332. If you don't answer this now, I will put you on ignore. Question: When the 120 on the Day of Pentecost spoke in tongues, had they received the Holy Spirit, or were they baptized in the Holy Spirit?

Yes, Jesus had blown His Spirit into them. That was only the 11 apostles.

We all need the Holy Spirit inside of us to be saved.

They couldn't die, God gave them to Jesus and their purpose hadn't been met yet.

Not the 120. Only the apostles. John 20.

Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”...

Do you believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit in JW? That is how we are born again. Acts of the Apostles 1:8. If you've dedicated your life to the Father, you can't snub His Son, because without the Son, you don't have the Father either.

What you will never understand for some reason is Romans 8:8-9, and how we who are born again of the Spirit are not in the flesh any longer. That is because your teachers are in the flesh too, and that's who you have chosen. Romans 8:8-9 also shows that you are either in the flesh or Spirit. You...

EXACTLY!!!! THAT'S HILARIOUS!!!!

No, that is a paraphrase of a scripture in Romans 6 that changed my life. If you have problem with sin, you need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit to receive the power you desperately need. Not everyone who says they are a Christian, actually are, because they are still a slave to sin. John...

Why do you sin when you don't have to?

So do you and marks believe that because we are not under the law, if we lie and murder, we can reckon them as not sin, because we say we are in Christ?

You can only be approved if you study. Right now, you are boasting a lot, and accusing others a lot, but without cause. Stop it. Go respond directly to the OP. Let's see what you really know.

I've been accused of that term but perfectionist has to do with believing in total maturity in all of the fruit of the Spirit. I don't believe that, and nobody should, but the accusations fly unguarded. That takes most of us a lifetime. But when Jesus takes away all of our unrighteousness, at...

That is what the OP is also saying. But you aren't telling your whole belief are you? Tell everyone about the actual sins a Christian commits in Christ. Are they NOT committed in the first place - the Truth. Or are they not deemed sins by God when you commit them if you are in Christ?

What is your belief on 1 John 1:8, and did you even read the OP #1.

The New Covenant is not a list of commandments like the Old Covenant - miss one and you disobeyed them all. Instead, the New Covenant is of the Spirit who resides in our conscience. 1 John 3:21 If your heart does not condemn you, you have confidence in God, 22 And whatever we ask we receive from...

That verse is what this post is all about, and why it is commonly misinterpreted. Before writing anything more, please go and study the first post at the top of this page, #1. There are whole false doctrines based on the heretical belief that Jesus DID NOT take away our sin, and there is no sin...

Yes it is a sin to NOT obey Christ's commands, but those who don't are not Christians. They can't even claim to be. I know the writer is a JW, but personally, I still consider them Christians, even if they, themselves, don't, and I am only speaking for myself.

If you know you sin everyday, all I can say is why? If there is something in the world that you are addicted to - stop. Put evil away from you. If it is a television, take it to the dump. If it is porn on this computer you use for the forums, then quit the forums and take your computer to the...
