We know that in order to be born again, we must first die, right? So God narrows it down to where does sin reside? In the nature. So which part of the soul, spirit and joints and marrow makes up our nature? Romans 8:9-10 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of...

You made that up! Those that are Christ's have ALREADY crucified their flesh. It is dead. We now live in Christ. Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God...

No I don't. It is dead. But you can honor yours all you like if it helps you justify your willful sins. I prefer my divine nature. You never answered the question. Does your life confirm 1 John 1:8 or not? But if you actually feel like you don't feed the old nature, and actually follow Christ...

Enoch have you never felt your old sin nature leave you and you were filled with a new nature? Is that why you believe you still have your sin nature, because you actually do?

Know what Paul is calling our flesh. It is our nature. What is born again - our nature - is our mind and heart. IOW our spirit and soul. They are separate from our body of bones. Our spirit and soul changes and becomes immortal. But our body must still die because it is separate from where sin...

ECF? Is that Episcopals? Well not being Catholic, Orthodox or Episcopal, then no I don't know what they believe. But I am not thinking of "purgatory" when interpreting 1 Cor. 3. Just so you know. Being in a denomination, or going to church, or even believing in Jesus will not save you if you do...

The "flesh" is our nature, friend. Don't you know that? How else does Jesus take away our sin, if not by taking away the cause - our nature? Do you think we can continue to willfully sin and call yourself a Christian? Can you murder and steal and lie and commit adultery? Do Christians do those...

Baptism is in OBEDIENCE to what God has done for us. Jesus died so our nature we were enslaved with could die. And then Jesus was resurrected so we could rise changed in nature to live our life for God. His followers are obedient, not disobedient; so of course they will show the world through...

I'll first just answer this section, which is all I've read so far. There are two types of sin. 1 John 5:16-17. Sins unto death 1 John 3:4, and sins not unto death, those who Jesus is our Advocate and keeps cleansing as long as we keep fellowship and forgive those who trespass (sins not unto...

You assume you will commit future willful sins of lawlessness 1 Jhn 3:4 even though Jesus has taken that nature away in the Born Again followers. Are you a follower, or just religious?

Yes, that is what I was telling Marymog. Did you miss that?

I don't go by any man's "traditions." You do. Those false doctrines fly right in the face of the words of Jesus that He would take away our sin, and the nature that caused sin. However, we still have free will, just as Lucifer did when he was created perfect in all his ways. The Holy Spirit we...

Yes it does mean something, but only if the prerequisites of death of sin nature is true. You do not bury those who are alive to kill them.

We moved.

I've only been in one church/congregation like that back in the 1970's

The point is just getting baptized in water is like burying someone alive. It doesn't mean anything. Baptism is in recognition that your old nature is dead and that you rise up a new creature with a divine nature of God. It is out of a good conscience, meaning your sin nature is dead, and are...

I want to belong to a Church whose leader is the Holy Spirit flowing through the congregation and is lead by Him.

MM, I was baptized in water 3 times BEFORE I was born again. THEN after I was filled with His Spirit, God spoke to me and told me I was to be baptized in water, really for the first time.

Yes, but did you know I've been a "Christian" all my life, but wasn't actually saved for 30 years? We MUST be born again of the Spirit. Not everyone who believes they are a Christian, actually have God inside them. Most are just still being drawn by the Holy Spirit, but He remains outside of us...
