There is to be no schism in the body. Unfortunately there are those who compartmentalize things a lot. And to me that is a symptom of the carnal mind at work.

Amen. No argument there brother. I just am wondering about exceptions, or whether for some the question might really be whether their spirit may be saved but not their soul. Eg, the very young, should they die before knowing to choose either right or wrong. They are not born again. But...

And if any man have not the spirit, he is none of His........wrote the apostle by that same Spirit. Jesus said in John 3 "Ye MUST be born again." "Except ye be born again you cannot see the Kingdom of God." "Except ye be born again of water and of the spirit you cannot enter the kingdom of...

Sister, I believe each one is given their own portion.........you be sure to hold onto yours in a day when the foundation comes increasingly under attack!

Amen. And He, Jesus, is that imperishable seed that was planted in us through the word and by His Spirit.

Think you're nailing it ......I have the same problem with what Epi brings.....it often sounds as though hei is talking about being born again, as if we aren't already....it's as if he and we don't have the same starting point. Other times it doesn't sound like that. I often find it confusing...

The Spirit and the Word agree. Yes, I was born again in '86. I once was blind but now I see!

Amen. Christ in us is the foundation and cornerstone and we are building up from there. 1Co 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. So interesting to me is that the capstone is also the cornerstone.....so in order to finish the building we must...

All of scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for us, true? So we need to cherish and hide it all away in our hearts because it is all for our good. The protestant evangelical church is falling into the same sins that Israel fell into....... she is falling away from the Lord and His...

Incorrect. He is not only in the child of God, but we are also in Him. But according to scripture Christ in us IS the hope of glory.

We seem to have differing ideas of what a cross-less gospel is. To me it is a gospel that doesn't involve anyone carrying their cross and following/obeying Jesus.

"These things happened to them for ensamples".........? The Lord changeth not.

@Ritajanice Read Ez 8, 9,10, 11 to see the sins of Israel and the progression of the glory of the Lord (His Spirit) departing the temple and city. Read Ez. 8,9,10,11 if you will, to see the sins of Israel and the progression of God's spirit (glory) departing the temple and city. We are to take...

Yes, His word is truth......and always will be, eternally. That is the word we receive into ourselves when we come to faith, amen. But that doesn't necessarily mean His word will always remain IN someone should they go astray permanently. One of the lessons we the church are to learn from...

Amen. Obedience....is HOW we follow Him as disciples. That is the Way to where He is. If we aren't following/obeying then we must be somewhere He is not. AKA lost, and that one would need to get back on the narrow path of obeying Him again. And sometimes there is the matter of needing to...

Sister, I agree with this......IF we are willing. I believe He will get our will in harmony with His IF we are willing to allow Him to. That's why David prayed for a willing spirit and we sometimes need to as well. It doesnt' seem that the Lord will normally over-rule our will when it...

Amen. Beware of false man-pleasing gospels that take the stumbling stone out of the way in order to try and be pleasing to everyone. Jesus didn't come for large numbers of people......oh no, on the contrary....... He did not try to remove the offense of the gospel, but instead made much of it...

Yes, very good point. And God is not the author of confusion. I've seen it before with another religion, and cults do this too.......unsettle and unground the mind with confusion in order to take advantage of that to plant seeds of thoughts. Often a background of intimidation involved too...

We need to distinguish between what has been imputed and what has been apprehended, that's all. It's not that difficult, or too high to comprehend.

Amen. And when someone calling themselves Christian refuses to look into the bible with you, that says something in itself. Beware of folks like that!
