What is a true believer? Abiding in Christ is a miraculous provision of grace so as to walk as Jesus in this world...as an overcomer just as Jesus was. As He IS so are WE (if we abide in Christ) in this world. He who says He abides in Him ought to walk even as He walked. That is the bible. Take...

When? What are you talking about? Judgment day? Only Christians will be judged by a questionnaire and all others will be judged by works? Why do you put yourself above being judged by your works? Are they evil? Are you hiding them? You are making dogmatic statements based on a religious...

and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put...

So we see that being sincere like Sonny reaches out to people. What makes the position of the "Whoevers" attractive in it's simplicity is that they avoid being religious and preachy. They step away from dogmatism or doctrinal positions. They are simple people who acknowledge their need of Jesus...

To bring some balance to this topic...I'd like to also say that having moral convictions can also have a positive side. We NEED some convictions in the absence of walking in the realm of the Spirit where ALL truth can be known. Here are a few examples of moral convictions that are a good...

It serves well to keep people out of the actual race of faith...and stops them from entering the kingdom of God...which is seen as a work. So they don't enter in and they try stopping others by regurgitating the same errors from their own indoctrination.

Where moral convictions are concerned the rule of thumb should be as follows... Moral convictions are only good if you keep them to yourself. IOW I am not to hold others to MY moral convictions. And we are not to confuse OUR moral convictions with the law of Christ. That's when hypocrisy and...

There is so much confusion in your responses that it would take a LONG time to sort out all the error. One does not become this indoctrinated over night. It requires error built upon error....built upon more error. You don't understand what works are for. And you are mistaken in saying that I...

You have swallowed the decoy gospel hook line and sinker. God is not interested in you having a correct belief. That is Gnosticism. A saving faith or belief? According to whom? The death of Jesus is not good news...just for the devil. What is good news is that God wants to give us His life...

It has been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. In the goal of bringing human nature and it's propensity to get caught up with religion, hypocrisy and vanity to light, I would like to explore this human morality that trips us up so much and that impedes growth in the...

I found this testimony to be both interesting and compelling...and uplifting. I am sharing it here to discuss the approach to having this kind of witness in the world. Now the speaker is Sonny Sandoval...the singer from "Payable On Death" a heavy metal/rap group that has sold millions of...

That's just not biblical. It is your emotions speaking from an indoctrination. But it is not based in truth. We will ALL be judged ONLY for what we have done with what we have been given. That's it. Grace puts us into a different category...away from the world. But you will never seem to...

It's not that God runs out of grace....that's not why grace is deceitful...but because of how we take it and what we do with it. People will take advantage of God's grace and mercy to try getting away with sin. Some people will consider themselves as the final destination of all mercy and grace...

Right....and this is where outer darkness comes into play for they whom God rejects.

Without the requisite reading skills...you may never know! :eek::p

It should be remembered that Luther had a Diet of Worms. :rolleyes::confused:

If you actually read the thread rather than react in your flesh you would see that I am speaking against hyper-grace and Calvinism. That extreme doctrine has a partial truth...as all lies do. God indeed will start us on our spiritual journey. He will call and equip and anoint us. And then He...

Under grace an equal treatment does not necessarily result in an equal outcome. Conversely ...disparate outcomes do not imply disparate treatment. In the parable of the sower....the seed isn't what varies in quality. No the seed is the same in every case. It is the ground that changes quality...

LOL. Nice theatrics and fluffery. But your lack of experience with God is showing and telling. God indeed uses His power to bring men to repentance. Repentance is a gift as well as something a man can do. Faith is also a gift as well as something required of us. So this tendency of manufacturing...

Before one goes off half-cocked into spiritual warfare one must understand oneself and one's own predilection towards self- righteousness and hypocrisy. Yes...that's right. We are born with a moral code that makes us think we are like gods in the world eating from the tree of knowledge. And most...
