Ishmael did come from Abraham's loins, so how is that unbelief, and not belief? I think you may be so puffed up you've become blind to the truth that someone else has that you don't have. If you don't become humble you will always be blind and always stumble. Did Abraham KNOW that his heir...

Justified is also when Jesus cleanses our nature of all past sins, and places a new nature in us that partakes of the divine nature of God. We don't have anything more to confess, just walk in the Spirit and not quench the Spirit. We must also grow in the fruit of the Spirit or else we could...

Wow, I had not realized that Sarah didn't know. But I can see God's purpose. 2 Covenants. Galatians 4:22-36.

and @Tong2020 Paul's teaching in Romans is about the law and grace and is 8 chapters long. Taking chapter 4 or 5 out of context is the cause of many false doctrines of demons. Abraham wasn't under the law, chapter 4; and God's grace is introduced in chapter 5, but not what it actually is...

No, I didn't. I would not have been able to commit willful sins of lawlessness that the Holy Spirit makes us incapable of desiring to do. Mungo, my friend, it is not a formula that God works through, it is our heart and motives about His Son.

It had to do with knowledge of sin or motive. 1. Sprinkled as a baby without my even knowing about it for over 40 years. 2. Immersed in water to join the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. 3. Anger at Seventh-day Adventist Church for telling me only they had "The Truth." None of those were...

They are the same. One tells who is doing the baptizing - the Spirit of Christ. And the other is Who comes into us to dwell and change our minds and natures to that of Christ - the Spirit of Christ. Romans 8:9; Acts of the Apostles 1:5-8

Romans 6 tells us a truth - we are dead to sin. But further in the chapter Paul tells us to also reckon (believe and call) yourself dead to sin. You call yourself a lifelong sinner. You are shooting yourself in the foot. Remember when we are tempted, that is a long way from actually sinning...

If you believe that the demons didn't know who Jesus was you are kidding yourself.

BB, there is a difference in timing between being made sinless and all our past sins have been cleansed by taking away our carnal nature, and giving us a divine nature that only does righteousness, until they have truly become perfect and holy. And Paul knew these steps and where he was in the...

You are believing the opposite of what Jesus came to do. See the post on Doctrines of Demons.

Matthew 26 and Mark 14 are both talking about the unregenerated carnal nature that we are all born with. Without Christ we can never say that we have no sin, because we will only be deceiving ourselves, because the Spirit of truth is not in us. Without the Spirit of Christ in us to take away our...

43 BB, you don't know me, so you must be speaking from your own experience.

Do you remember the last sentence of Romans 8:9? BB, until you are born again of the Spirit of Christ, you do not belong to him. If you are trying to get to heaven in your carnal nature, and using willpower to overcome sin, you'll fail and will always revert to sinning. So how do you RECEIVE...

Good answer.

If you really are a "Lifelong sinner" as you claim, then you don't know the Truth that will set you free. John 8:32-36. Jesus came to TAKE AWAY our sin and make us sinless. That is the desire to sin, so what He does is takes away our carnal nature that produces the sin you seem to love. I was...

And if you DO come to Him, obviously it has been granted to him by the Father, so are you automatically saved?

Demons know that too. You still don't get it.

Yes, but we cannot be righteous on our own. That's not what I'm saying we must do. We must Repent. We mustn't depend on rituals, but on integrity of heart and tell the truth about ourselves. If we are just coming to Christ as a new believer, we must know His word, and then we will see ourselves...

BB, Jesus takes away our sins unto death. But there is the other type of sin called sins not unto death. We will all commit those until we fully mature in the Lord and His fruit of the Spirit. But we must still do our part and not only ask forgiveness for these trespasses, but FORGIVE OUR...
