For me I would need to know what the OP is specifically addressing, what the history behind it is. I believe I've seen people idolizing the bible in a way, in the past, but can't recall the specific incidences right now. I think it was already mentioned how the Pharisees and religious leaders...

It has probably already been said but to me it looks as though the church has replaced the gospel with politics as a means of restoring "righteousness" in the land. Whereas the nation used to be more righteous and blessed only because the church used to be taking ground with the gospel, not...

2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. Catholicism is blasphemous, and the fruits show it.

Well I certainly agree that you and I were both poorly taught in the Catholic church. But I know that I wasn't born again as an infant when I was baptized in the Catholic church.......because I was born again at the age of 28, miraculously. And I know I wasn't filled with the Holy Spirit when...

Merci beaucoup pour le bienvenue....mais je suis Anglaise. :) Things are not that great up North here these days unfortunately, in my opinion, nevertheless I try to encourage myself knowing the Lord is in control at all times. Amen....coming to faith in Jesus is an act of God, of His Spirit...

Amen, thank you. Regarding spiritual breathing...maybe you were quoting someone else and didn't notice that part of it..? It's in your post #676 on page 34 of this thread, here is the part near the end of your post that mentioned spiritual breathing...crossed my mind whether it might have...

I wasn't referring to any scripture.....you had said something about practising spiritual breathing and I had no clue what you meant, it isn't a phrase I've ever heard before. Don't mind me, I can be a bit thick at times :) ....now I see it's an expression that means reading and taking in the...

Thanks for the welcome, it's nice to meet everyone. Dreams, visions, prophetic words, as well as audible voice are all self-explanatory I think...all found in scripture including new testament. What I'm calling inner voice, is like an audible voice, but only hearing it on the inside with our...

Yes I don't know what you mean by that, never heard of it before. Maybe you've talked about it in other posts, but I'm new around here.

Jesus said His sheep know His voice....yes, God speaks to us in many ways. Including through dreams, visions, audible voice, inner voice, unctions, prophetic word, etc. That's why we are to test all things though to make sure we aren't hearing anything that violates His word or character...

Hardly know where to start here. You're putting the cart before the horse. And "Sacraments" are only a form of godliness without the power. Where do you see "sacraments" in scripture? That is a man-made construct of the fleshly carnal mind, which probably even came about to fill in the...

Hardly know whether to laugh or cry... o_O ...there's an awful lot of bickering in this thread. The OP itself seems a bit antagonistic (maybe not intentionally) and I get the feeling there might be some history behind it, or that it was carried over from other arguments. We shouldn't bicker...

I'm not sure what you mean....hope this addresses the main issue though: 1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ This is not as...

Hope I did the quote feature properly ...I'm new around here and it's not the same as what I'm used to. No, no.... baptism is not born again. Born again is born again. A new believer gets baptized after being born again and because they were born again. The thief on the cross was saved...

The Jews under the old covenant were baptized in water only (mikvah)....since the Holy Spirit had not yet been poured out. Jesus was saying they couldn't enter the kingdom of God only by undergoing mikvah, but they needed to be born of the Spirit also. This is when we receive Christ by...

I'm not sure it's worth getting into chicken/egg type arguments. That seems to me to come under "striving about words." I think it's enough to know that faith, grace, justification, repentance all go hand in hand and are all given as a free gift to whosoever receives it when the Lord comes...
