An unbeliever can only be justified on judgment day. If God deems to have mercy on a non-believer He simply doesn't blot out his name out of the book of life. God will have mercy on whomever He wills. Notice the goodness of God! :) Now of course religious types will have a snit about this kind...

We are justified by God only. No one can justify themselves by their works OR their religious beliefs. No man can justify himself for any reason. You have missed the whole message.

So who is lazier...the one who has to work for being able to justify himself?...or else the one who does exactly the same justification of self...but this time he is too lazy to work...but just uses his own beliefs to do the same thing? Either way it is the same hypocrisy and self-justification...

But you are claiming that your own hearing from God is better than that of Bush or Paul Bremer ...who claimed to be following God's directives. He claimed to hear directly from God. And you are making the same claim? Could you not be as deceived as they? Can you admit to that? As you condemn...

Where does faith come in? Believing the word of God that many who profess faith in God are going to be rejected for a lack of faithfulness. People use their faith for a variety of reasons...chief of which is for self-preservation. He who seeks to save his life will lose it. Religion now is...

...and this is due to the fact that the doctrine you are speaking of isn't biblical. That's why it is a later heresy. God is merciful and accepts people who believe in Jesus. That is called justification by faith...based on the righteousness of faith. But the proviso here is that only God can...

I see holiness only in the presence of God. That we may be partakers of HIS holiness. As such holiness is only found in God. God is unique. So then to become holy...sanctified...one must enter INTO His presence. This happens all at once...yes...as a visitation (God coming to us)...or else a...

All I can say is....word! :) Oh...and God bless you brother (I can say that too!) ;)

1 Co 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

The obedience of faith is to continue to ask seek and knock until you are filled with the exceeding greatness of His grace power in order to walk as Jesus walked. And this is AFTER we have believed. The obedience of faith is not to justify oneself because of one's beliefs or decision. So we...

The Pharisee is the one that justifies his salvation IN his sins. The repentant one realizes that he is not doing as he should.

So then you deny the power of Christ over sin? Jesus said to ask, seek and knock, But He also said that few will be able to walk that narrow path...especially when religion tells a person that they are never going to have the same walk as Jesus did. But to abide in Christ is to walk as He...

All people are victorious IN Christ. That's the point of the gospel. The victory is to enter in. That is salvation from sin. What is false is to claim to be in Christ and also sin. So to be really gutsy and truthful....just say that you are a student trying to get into Christ. There is no...

Amen. Luther is an enemy of the cross...and people think he is a great reformer. He is in fact a Gnostic.

See you are stuck in Romans 7. The difference between you and Paul is that he was not satisfied to remain in the bondage of sin...and you have been taught that it's normal and ok. But the call of Christ is to move on into the freedom of Christ....where you are set free from that bondage. Through...

It is very difficult to be accepted INTO Christ. It takes a lot of faith and seeking the Lord. And it is the Lord who does the work of translating people into the kingdom. Now we are to encourage each other in this endeavour. The devil does NOT want any of us to penetrate into the kingdom realm...

I think it's better to call oneself a seeker or a Jesus fan rather than a disciple of Jesus if one has not known the walk in the Spirit by the blood (life) of Christ. To call Christ impure is to insult the God of grace. So it is better to fear the Lord and not try making Christ a sinful saviour...

You may be in the minority that thinks that in Christ is sin. So some of us have found the perfect saviour. You need an introduction? I think the modern church doesn't have any depth of understanding or experience of Christ when compared to the living church of the 1st century. They certainly...

People say they believe that their own righteousnesses are as filthy rags. But these same people also say they now have the righteousness of God (or of Jesus). So then does that mean they have exchanged their own filthy rags of righteousness...with it's sins...for "God's" righteousness or His...

False of course. The bible says that Jacob was "tam"...innocent of evil. And he then became "shalem"...raised to an intimate place with God. The bible says none of those things concerning Esau. So you are inventing things...or just repeating what you have been told to believe.
