The proof text for the imputed error is ... 1 Corinthians 1:30 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: When we are IN Christ we take on His authority and grace so as to walk exactly as He did. People want...

The carnal man is always looking to get away with things. People like the free stuff. So when the seductive power of the devil gets behind something that SOUNDS like it's from God...it's very hard to resist...unless one loves the truth. So how can one avoid this great delusion of a spiritual...

Again not being able to understand the difference between righteousness and holiness. Being sanctified means being in Christ. We partake of HIS holiness when we enter into Christ. Jesus did NOT come to give us HIS righteousness for personal status. By faith we enter into Christ for God's...

Working out one's own salvation with fear and trembling is about the need to be cooperating with the grace of God. This is an ancient and biblical doctrine...from the early church.... that is still supported by the Catholic church...but was thrown out by Luther.

Actually Luther just felt better about not having to seek the Lord for an actual personal encounter in creating a humanized gospel based on beliefs ABOUT Jesus. Luther's scheme short-circuits the need for an actual personal encounter and visitation of God. God need not get involved since...

it's a man-made teaching using faulty human reasoning. Luther was a frustrated monk who figured out a way, by his very carnal mind, around the experience of the cross. In so doing he eliminated actual righteousness and holiness. Just look at his legacy.

You are indoctrinated by vain repetitions without understanding. We don't make the cross work...the actual power of the cross makes us dead. But FEW will go to God in that kind of full surrender.

Now some misdirected people will not understand that God doesn't change. His law of righteousness is eternal. The OT was about establishing righteousness....just as the NT is about establishing holiness being BUILT UPON righteousness...like an upper room being built on a first storey. Now we...

That's actually right. They are deemed to have their own righteousness...are declared righteous by God because of their faith. But He also justifies the wicked by their change of heart in doing righteousness since God sees into the heart from where righteousness and wickedness get their origin...

Dot cooked 2 of them! Lots of mouths to feed! :)

Religion teaches us that whether I behave rightly or not...if I hide behind Jesus I'm saved in spite of anything I do or don't do. Then it is a question of having a good lawyer...not unlike the wealthy in this life. Jesus then is not only seen as a Genie of sorts but also a lawyer for the rich...

Yes! :)

Praying with you brother! :)

That's not what you said. And that's not what you meant. The bible states that Cornelius was righteous BEFORE being baptized in the Spirit. Actually God does not baptize the wicked in the Spirit. Being baptized INTO Christ means you have been approved in heaven. God does not make sinners...

You forgot that you disagreed with DOING righteousness to BE righteous. Instead you are after a religious posturing.

A person doesn't accumulate different righteousnesses as a set. A righteous person is just righteous. God sees Him for what he is and what he does. How he gets there is an individual thing. God judges on His own scale. You are trying to make a checklist that God doesn't have. Judge not...but...

You are moving more and more into error. You know an animal by where they go to seek refuge. A water animal goes into the water to escape danger. A bird flies off. And a carnal man misunderstands the bible into more error. We walk as Jesus walked by entering into Him. We take on His sinless...

False again. Peter was sent as a witness to the righteousness of God in allowing the first Gentiles into HOLINESS. Cornelius was ALREADY righteous and therefore was already accepted by God. Notice there was no need of repentance. Only the approved are baptized in the Spirit. Please stop adding...

But we are not given our own righteousness as a gift. Our righteousness is earned. What is the gift is the ability to be a minister of God...by having His righteousness on us...as an anointing. The anointing is the gift...the charis. How could Peter put Ananias to death without even touching...

Ernest T. Bass said: ↑ Righteousness simply means 'right doing'. Amen! Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh (toils) righteousness, is accepted with him. This is false. God doesn't accept people outside of reality and truth. No one has a right standing without right...
