    Why The Delay in Acts 8:5-24 To Be Saved?

    As I already pointed out it is faithfulness, as in fidelity. But, seeing as you want it your way, I agree to disagree.

    Why The Delay in Acts 8:5-24 To Be Saved?

    Where do you get the idea faith is a gift of the Holy Spirit? Of the three, faith is a gift from the Father, and that only a measure of faith. Romans 12

    Why The Delay in Acts 8:5-24 To Be Saved?

    In reference to the Samaritans. 1. The Holy Spirit ONLY fell in Jerusalem, sovereignly. Acts 2 2. The Holy Spirit had to then go beyond Jerusalem through laying on of hands. Acts 8 3. The Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles, sovereignly. Acts 10 Complete dispersal access.

    Why The Delay in Acts 8:5-24 To Be Saved?

    You're kidding. Galatians 5:22-23. Romans 10:17 Faith comes by hearing and hearing by a rhema of God. A rhema is a specific spoken word, and this verse is from God. The gift of supernatural faith accompanies a rhema and sees whatever is spoken to come to pass. John 15:7 "If you abide in Me...

    Why The Delay in Acts 8:5-24 To Be Saved?

    We've gone over this before. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Faithfulness is a character trait of the Spirit, it is not the same as supernatural faith that operates for a purpose - to see healing, a...

    The Glory

    Absolutely! The prayer I prayed was that I was a sinner and couldn't stop sinning, and asked God to scrub me clean of sin and take away the draw and pain. Instantly, I was free. He didn't lie, that is blasphemy! The Scriptures are true. I am free of willful sin. No, dear, that is the LAW...

    The Glory

    The secret to Jesus' sinlessness was the seed of the Father. He had that from before birth! We are given that same seed when we are born again of the Spirit (IF we repent from all sin which gives us this free gift of power called the baptism of the Holy Spirit) 1 John 3:9 Whoever has been born...

    The Glory

    Yes, grace is a gift, as is the power to not sin. It is not something I do from my own willpower like keeping the LAW. That's what that means. The Spirit takes out the sin nature and replaces it. That is what being born again is all about. The sinless seed of God is in us. That is why 1 John 3:9...

    The Glory

    Here you go again quoting scriptures about the unsaved, and telling yourself that it is about Christians. Speak for yourself. Do yourself a favor, and read up on the Gnostics and Nicolaitans. You will find that as 1 John 4:1-3 says, they did not believe Jesus came in the flesh, but only in...

    The Glory

    AGAIN, Paul is talking about the LAW. Are you under the law still? The law showed us our SIN. The Spirit took it away. Flush! Down the drain! What I've noticed is that you like to take scripture out of context, or assign the opposite meaning to what the apostle is saying, and have come up with...

    The Glory

    When you are baptized with the Holy Spirit, you are no longer in this sinful state. Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. If we still have a problem with sin, it is...

    The Glory

    1 John 1 shows the contrast between light and darkness. 5 = light 6 = darkness 7 = light 8 = darkness 9 = light (how to become saved) 10 = darkness The darkness are the unsaved, who only profess to be righteous, but aren't = like the Jews still under the law and the Gnostics of 1 John 4:1-3...

    The Glory

    The truth won't be shut up. You are naive if you think Satan wins and we are not changed, just forgiven. The truth has been presented to you, but your itching ears loves darkness, and wants someone to tell you, "you can have your cake and eat it too." God will NOT be mocked by you or anyone...

    Lucifer, the Morning Star

    Even though the wording in Isaiah could represent the King of Babylon, in prophecy there can be more than one meaning, as in foreshadows. I have no problem with assigning Lucifer to Satan, just as Antiochus Epiphanes IV is a foreshadow of Nero, but also the coming Antichrist.

    The Glory

    Oh my, where do I start! Let me ask you something. You do realize there is a life BEFORE Christ, and a drastic change AFTER Christ don't you? You don't seem to know that for some reason, especially when you believe a twisted version of Paul's words that we keep sinning after Christ, but it is...

    The Glory

    Peter said of Paul's writings that there are some things hard to understand. It is true, but not impossible. Romans especially has been twisted to say things Paul did not mean, because people take part of what he said and stop. They do not continue to the conclusion. Romans 3 and 4 are like...

    Church sans Tribulation

    He's got a fan in you I see. Second chance theology is not scriptural.

    I was afraid you were going to say that. Do you mind telling me what denomination teaches you this? Possibly from the Reformation??? Or not?

    The Glory

    So by your use of an old covenant quote, do you believe that Jesus covers our sin while we keep sinning? Ask yourself how in the Old Testament sins were covered.
