LOL It's amazing how you already judge something that you haven't even listened to yet. How many people read their bibles with the view to looking for passages to justify themselves as they already are. There are others however who are willing to learn and grow in the ways of God in Christ.

And there are entire denominations that claim to be spiritual based on outward signs...denying the level of a walk in resurrection life. To those Jesus will say...depart I never knew you. But these things should not affect the way we present the truth...which is to be in love.

Amen! But to help people you have to reach them where they are at. Otherwise it will seem like we are gloating over others because of what the Lord has done with us...and through us. Humility demands that we identify with those who are in a learning phase towards full freedom in the Spirit...

My own experience likewise was to be blasted into the holy walk by being instantly baptized in the Spirit from the very beginning. But what I learned through many years of fellowshipping with my brothers and sisters in Christ is that most people come at the life in Christ in a step-wise fashion...

This is so encouraging Nancy! Thank you for your kind words. The Lord bless you and build you up inwardly! :) <><

The problem is that it is you doing the justifying. This goes along with human nature. Did Jesus die to preserve the sinful nature of Adam? Or, are we saved into Christ AWAY from Adam. I am the one including the cross of Christ and its power to crucify our sinful flesh. God decides who is...

Salvation has more than one facet. We live in time...we can turn from evil to do what is right and we can turn from doing right and do what is evil. Men have created one way streets...but God's ways are fair and balanced. We can go either way as long as we are alive. Was the prodigal son still...

LOL A new born Christian is a spiritual babe in Christ. A born again babe in Christ is a spiritual infant. And most modern believers remain there...throwing tantrums when the idea of having their toys taken away comes up.o_O:oops:

A born again spirit? This is a good thing...and a newborn baby has great potential ....but cannot work with his/her Dad in that state. There is a process to salvation that entails being weaned of the flesh. A baby needs to be weaned of its mother in order to be able to travel with Dad and be...

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Gal. 2:20 The above verse says a lot about having an inner man and an outer man. "I...

There is a deeper stream of life than this that we are called to...and that is experienced when we personally enter into Christ. The one who is crucified no longer has his/her reaction to things. Being dead in Christ means being a bond-slave or possessed of Christ. This goes much further than...

The inner man and the outer man.

The great delusion is that this is what it seems to be. That's why its called a delusion. Luther was not a prophet nor an apostle. He was a frustrated monk who grew tired of waiting on the Lord and receiving nothing. Like so many imitators of Cain in the church throughout its history...he...

The supposed Greek text that this was translated from was corrupted by Erasmus in the 15th century. At first he refused to do the bidding of the clerics...but when they presented him with a manuscript that had been added to with a look of authenticity...then he was no longer able to resist...

That was only the first step into the great delusion. The second step away from the truth was taken by Luther. He built on the first error by changing Paul's meaning to deviate people from the path of life. Today, basically all Protestants read Paul through the mind of Luther. The gospel was...

We see the desire of the Roman religious hierarchy to control the people in their adding to the canon of scripture. The earliest such deviation we find in Matt. 28:19...changing the original text from "baptizing them in My name"...to "baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the...

The Roman church added those verses in in the 15th century. They are called the Johannine comma. Johannine Comma - Wikipedia

The outer man has no place in the salvation of God. As such many believers...who hold on to their "whole" self...will react against the further step of being crucified with Christ in order to walk in holiness. People who live from a religious outer man will argue that sanctification can be...

Very good observation! The text you cited is from Joshua 3:16. It says "in Adam" (be-Adam). So the second blessing...or baptism of the Spirit, takes us from being IN Adam to being IN Christ. Being crucified in the inner man allows us to cross over into Zion in order to abide in Christ...and be...

Putting on is after your heart has been changed. When you have begun renewing your mind you will see that you still need to put on the New Man as instructed by Paul. Otherwise you will have countless questions and reasons to remain exactly where you are...trusting that a sample of grace is...
