The gospel can be understood at different levels. There is the power of the message and there is the message of the power. In the above verse, it is the POWER of the gospel that Paul is speaking of. The power that transforms a sinner into a saint. The power that puts sin into remission. The...

"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof." (Rom 13:14)

As long as we abide in Christ, we don't sin. IN Him is no sin. People have not thought through many of the doctrines they have come to accept as if they were true. One of the gravest errors coming out of the Reformation is the idea that it is possible to be both holy and sinful simultaneously. A...

How is accepting denominationalism not accepting the dividing of the Body which is heresy itself?

This is almost good except you are not describing a walk that is by grace. There is no striving against sin unless one is striving to enter INTO Christ where there is no sin. When we put on Christ we put on His perfection. Otherwise, we are still walking in our own strength.

The sad shame is the invention of sinful holiness. You don't believe that there is no sin IN Christ. or else you must believe you are outside of Christ when you sin. The purpose of abiding in Christ is to bear a holy and eternal fruit...without spot or wrinkle of sin. You have fallen for a...

Although you will never admit it, most believers are trying to learn to be better people on their own. And that is just fine. Grace works as both time AND purpose. We are given time to grow in character and slowly become better people. But that standard has always existed. It is an Old Testament...

Small words have a lot of meaning. Can you grow INTO grace? Of course not. But you can grow once you have received grace IN that grace. The same goes for holiness. You can't grow INTO holiness as this is by grace. But once you are walking like Jesus walked, you grow in character until you...

What do you think of the doctrine that states that a person is born of the Spirit before the baptism of the Spirit ---to receive the immersion in the Spirit as a "second blessing" ?? And what are reasons for your views? My own experience is being born of the Spirit as I was baptized in the...

A telephone line is not a person...and certainly not God. And what is this "most" invisible? Do you think the Father is partly invisible? What these modern doctrines do is denigrate the Power of the Father. Do you realize that the Father has put everything under His control? the Spirit of a...

This is a big mistake that is made in modern evangelicalism. Nobody grows INTO holiness. In fact, most people are not even able to hold the ground they were born again to. Just ask people who have been believers for 50+ years. The only thing we can grow in is maturity...but not purity...

The trinity doctrine was invented by the church of Rome early in the second century, as they will readily admit to, in order to give them control over the holy Spirit. If they had not done that then they would be dependent on God's intervention for the power of the Spirit. So then the power and...

Hi Josho, Basically self-taught although I learned a lot from observing and playing with others. The best school is experience through interaction, I think. :) Nowadays, with youtube, the possibility to learn faster, much faster, is there. If only I would have had such a resource when I was...

When? Do you understand what that means? Or is just knowing the formula enough to "get saved". I know the theory of relativity too... E=MC2 Does that mean I'm now a physicist? the devil also trusts that Jesus was crucified and was raised again. Having a human belief ABOUT Jesus just gives...

God gives grace to the humble. The humble what? The humble person of whatever religion? Of course. What about the proud who God resists? Can the proud not be believers? Of course many believers are very proud. You will find very few modern believers who are humble. So do you believe that...

You are confusing a perverting of the gospel with a simple life of humility. Anyway why are you so sure that you aren't doing exactly what you claim to be hating so much? Ah. the humanity.:oops:

That's the problem You claim to be preaching the original gospel. But what I see is a lack of balance. The original gospel was and continues to be in a perfect balance. Did God so love the world that He sent His Son as an excuse to send people to hell? Did God so hate His Son that He condemned...

Have you never read about not judging nothing, or anyone, before the time? Don't cling to the natural mind of the fallen nature. Put on rather the mind of Christ. Hint...the mind of Christ is one of humility.

people will always exaggerate one way or another. Finding a correct balance seems beyond the will and desire of men. So people will champion one aspect of the truth against the other and then claim they are saved by so doing.
