I haven't been here very long and don't know what has been said about latter rain....but I believe it does apply to the church because James talks about it: Jas 5:7-8 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the...

I don't entirely disagree. And yet if even the Captain of our salvation was made perfect through suffering and death, and we are to follow in His footsteps, wouldn't the same apply to us as well? Just doesn't happen overnight, at least not for most of us. I see in the story of the Israelites...

Amen! \o/

It's all by faith, yes I agree. Technically it's all ours, but in reality we aren't all walking in everything that is ours are we....we can see that with our own eyes looking at ourselves honestly and other believers. Kind of the "yes, but not yet" of things in reality. But we are to grow in...

I'm reminded of Hebrews5/6, speaking to those who were content to remain on the milk of the word and were not ready for strong meat, and the writer's admonition to leave the foundational things and go on to perfection (which I equate to holiness). I wonder if what Episkopos and David H. are...

I dont' know the answer to that question, but that was great preaching by David Wilkerson on that video....the church needs more of that!

I'm sorry I messed up the post somehow, hope you can see what I wrote in blue letters once you "click to expand". Yes, absolutely...we are born from above....the city that is above is our mother. New Jerusalem/heavenly Zion.

These are prophecies foretelling the coming gospel of Christ/Messiah. God establishing Christ's kingdom. Earthly Jerusalem "gave birth" to her children before she travailed, ie, before she was judged in 70 AD. Ie, she gave birth to Jesus and the gospel was preached and the first souls were...

Couple of scriptures about Zion: Psa 87:5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. Isa 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be...

Enjoying this conversation. Here's what I see in scripture about some of these things. Jesus and the apostles were preaching not just a gospel of salvation but the gospel of "the kingdom". We are to enter the kingdom of God/heaven and walk in it. Remember Jesus telling the religious leaders...

It occurs to me that flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, so Elijah's body would have had to have died. His being taken up like that was a foreshadowing of what is to happen with those who are alive and remain in the end. The physical body is likened to a seed that has to die...

All true children of God ARE one and HAVE fellowship with one another. There is nothing anyone can do to manufacture this. The body of Christ - His temple - is in spirit, not of the flesh or confined in buildings made by the hands of man. Whatever man in his self-effort puts his hands of...

No, actually it is God who must stir up the soul and draw sinners to Christ. Except the Lord build the house we labour in vain. We can do nothing without Him. In a time of spiritual famine and drought fewer souls get saved.....no harvest to bring in. We need the Lord to rise up and move upon...

Mat 10:38-39 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. Mat 16:24-25 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up...

It's a spiritual war really, and the devil infects people to sin, in any way he can find an opening or foothold. Different people may be prone to different kinds of sin, but I don't think the devil really particularly cares which sins he gets a person with. And then sin opens the door to more...

Really do enjoy scriptures set to worshipful music. Something about music that opens and lifts the soul upward to God.

To live one's afterlife with hatred sounds like it could be torment in itself. Well we can have all kinds of theories I guess, but at the end of the day we need the humility to bring all our thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ and His word. His word says without holiness no one will...

Certainly agree. But can a man be born (physically) twice? John the Baptist was conceived and born....he wasn't literally Elijah, but came in the spirit and power of Elijah, as Jesus said. John had the same ministry and spiritual authority/power that Elijah had....to call Israel to...

I personally don't know if the torment is eternal, but certainly the wages of sin is death, whereas the gift of God in Christ Jesus is eternal life.
