The question whether Mary remained a virgin her whole life appears to be answered here: Matthew 1:24-25 (KJV) Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he...

Yes, God often sent His Spirit to chosen people for a specific purpose. That was the reason Christ breathed His Spirit upon them before He departed. But the Spirit Christ gave them then was not enough, because He instructs them to remain in Jerusalem until they should be endued with power from...

Yes, the signs Jesus performed verified He was who He claimed to be, the Son of God who is The Messiah the prophets foretell would come. None of the Old Covenant saints could be born again through the Holy Spirit in them until Christ went to the cross and resurrected from the dead. The Holy...

In a word Hepzibah...OBEDIENCE to His Word. Be not hearers only, but doers of His Word. He tells us to "work out" (not work for) our salvation, for it is God working in us to will and to do of His good pleasure. Philippians 2:12-13 (KJV) Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not...

Does not Scripture show us we are saved from sins penalty, which is bondage to death? All mankind, even when the Holy Spirit is in us still on occasion choose to sin. We shall not be free from sins until we are no longer clothed in bodies destined to death and corruption. Christ came to set...

Anointing by the Holy Spirit is to be baptized into the life, death and resurrection of Christ when His Spirit is in us. It is through His anointing that we continue to abide in Christ. 1 John 2:27 (KJV) But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that...

Our spirit with life after physical death is a "living soul" without a mortal body that became a corpse in physical death. There are examples in Scripture for saints being alive in heaven after physical death. One is found in Rev 20 where John writes of "souls" alive after having been faithful...

Immortality is physical because our body, not our spirit, is mortal and corruptible, destined to die. Our spirit through the Spirit of Christ in us is not mortal and corruptible when in Christ. Because our spirit has been 'quickened' or made alive eternally through the Spirit of Christ that...

I've NEVER said "we already have immortal spiritual life"! When we are in Christ we have ETERNAL spirit that shall never die. Our spirit, alive eternally through the Spirit of Christ in us, shall return with Christ to give immortal/incorruptible life to our resurrected physical body so we...

I don't see Scripture showing the need for "two different works of the HS in our salvation". Hebrews 7:25 (KJV) Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Yes, the cross made atonement for our sins! His resurrection proves He has power over death, that whosoever believes in Him shall never die. Because when we are in Christ neither our sins nor our physical death can prevent us from being in the spiritual Kingdom of God.

John 3:6-15 (KJV) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth...

It's the baptism that comes only by Christ and is supernatural power of God. Luke 3:16 (KJV) John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy...

Our spirit is dead in trespasses and sins! Being sold out in trespasses and sins means we have no ability to respond to Christ for salvation. Our natural/fleshly/sinful spirit must be 'quickened' or taken from being sold out to trespasses and sins, to being 'made alive' in Christ. This is to...

To be born again IS baptism of the Holy Spirit! When we believe in Christ it is through the power of the Spirit coming in us and giving us a new heart/spirit by grace through faith. Without the power of the Gospel and Spirit none would be eternally saved.

While in agreement I believe there is even more to understand about how humans might enter into the Kingdom of God. Because we don't enter the Kingdom of God physically, but spiritually. Nicodemus couldn't understand because he, like most of the Jews were looking for the Messiah to come in a...

The eternal life we shall have physically on the new earth in the age to come is ours spiritually NOW through His Spirit in us. Because when we have the Spirit of Christ in us we NEVER die. John 11:26 (KJV) And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? We...

But only the siblings of Jesus would have been those "in his own house." I'm not disputing that Jesus often called those of faith brethren and sisters. That much is true, as you've clearly proven from the Bible. What I dispute is you bringing assumption into the Word without proving what you...

Why, since I don't believe you have proven or can prove your main assumption? Can you bring to the discussion any passage or verse that would give credibility to the opinion that Joseph may have been widowed with children before he married Mary?

Again, our spirit alive returns to immortal physical bodies, not the mortal bodies we have now. Because our spirit with the Spirit of Christ is not immortal but eternal, and how our changed immortal bodies have the breath of life so we can once again be complete living soul.
