I'm back! :) So this concerning prophets. I'm not surprised at this. The modern Church is not based on an intimacy with God...so then a direct line to the throne of God isn't required for these. Men's approval is all that is needed. The New Testament gives us the guidelines to how we should...

That's not what it says...and you know it.

That's the model of the institution...set up like business...with franchises. The competitive nature of these businesses makes for a dumbing down of the gospel to get as many in the pews as possible...more people, more revenue= more success. This has proved disastrous to evangelicalism. The...

Cell groups are not house churches. The covering of an institution precludes a direct connection of authority to God. There are no multiplicity of coverings. The head of every man is Christ.

Are you in a house church? If so, how long have you been established for?

Of course not. Remember the company we keep here.... always a hair away from being devoured...like in a lion's den. Right now they aren't feeding...keep watching...and praying.

At what time? We are not like a dead institution. We have seasons of things. At one time we were two elders...but that brother left to become a pastor. A failure in my view! You can't compare a religious institution to a spiritual family, try as you might.

The keeping power of God is powerful. You only fall out of the Spirit when you sin a sin unto death. OR..as in the case...you want out so badly because you are stuck in Zion and your selfish nature can't handle it.

I oversee a house church...have for decades now.

You have faith and trust in God from the inner man. These others trust in the promises of God but with the part of them that is meant to be crucified...the outer man, Belonging to Christ is VERY hard. It means being gutted of yourself...crucified...stuck to a wall/ Only the SELFLESS can remain...

Yes. But only by abiding in Christ. In Him is no sin. There is a mystery here that unless you have experienced resurrection life...still the greatest secret in the world... you will never believe it. I think unbelievers understand this better because they haven't learned to limit God by...

The truth is too much to take when you have been religiously indoctrinated to become a Pharisee. Look how Jesus and the religious of His day interacted. So either I'm the Pharisee, or else the ones who are doing the naming and claiming...and denying the power of the gospel are. I know where...

To me reckoning oneself to be dead to sin is the same thing as a rich man reckoning himself to be poor...or a strong person to be weak. There is an instant improvement in behaviour when that happens...it takes away the control of the pride. What it doesn't mean is that the person is ever free...

Je rigole avec ceux qui son rigolo. Je suis sérieux avec ceux qui prennent la parole de Dieu au sérieux.

How do you reckon yourself to be dead to sin as per Rom. 6?

This is why I don't post deeper things on here. An honest person asked me to relate this...so I did. But then it gets picked up by others with less than pure intentions...

I was only preparing the way...

That's it. I'm going to my room and play ♪"I can only imagine" ♪ over and over. CU in a bit! ;)

What do think reckoning yourself to be dead to sin means?

Let me get this straight, you want to interpret, or reckon, my yes as an affirmative?
