There is the message and there is the power. It is the power that saves...not the message. The message is about the power. The power of the cross gets the natural man out of the way so that the inner man can be clothed with the power to walk as Jesus walked. But you are just into word...

This is an indoctrination mantra....that has no real power in truth. It is a memorized mantra that can only brain-wash the person who repeats it over and over and over again.

The same love as Jesus...between ourselves. We are to always walk in that love. The world rejects that love. But the brethren are mightily encouraged by it. We are to also look after each other...in both spiritual and earthly needs.

Jesus fully realized the full amount of power we need to overcome all things at the cross for us. But we must now walk in that power by faith. The proof that we have the faith of Christ is that we walk in the same life that He did.

People are capable of the greatest delusions. What is it that makes assurance possible? Assuming (by a human religious reasoning) that we can claim all the good sounding bible verses for ourselves? Realizing we are walking in the same power that Jesus did...in spiritual life? If we have been...

How are we to be saved? By living a life that is pleasing to God.

We are responsible for the state of things in the world. A world in darkness needs light. We are to provide that light. But we are so self-centered in our ways. We are losing our own battles let alone be victorious in the world. We are a people divided along carnal lines. We have left off being...

...or even...insufficient. Who wants to hear that their efforts in this life towards godliness were insufficient?

People seem satisfied with knowledge ABOUT God. But is that the knowledge that is lacking among God's people? Never have there been more bibles in the world than now. Yet, never has there been so much darkness in the world. There is a famine in the earth...of knowing God and hearing His words...

Phil. 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. That I may apprehend....meaning we are not instantly transformed into the image of Christ. We still need to run the...

Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. Is repentance a small temporary window into the pride of men whereby one allows, for...

Acts 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. Early Christianity was termed "the Way"...the way to eternal life. The way to God, who grants us this life. There were 10 lepers that...

If you live according to the flesh...in your own power of seeing things...in your own strength and opinions...then you will die. A person who lives in themselves is not with the Lord.

There is a terrible tendency to judge others outside the faith. Rather than Christians learning to love and leave judgment to God...there is an evangelical mindset to condemn others as depraved sinners who are all going to hell because of a lack of conformity to the religion that they espouse...

Thanks for the link Greg. :)

A better way to describe OSAS and it's adherents is...Once a sinner always a sinner. These hold to a religious definition of salvation which is devoid of life and power. God's ways are equal...if a person can repent towards Christ they can also repent the other way. No one is forced to follow...

A free sample is not the same as buying the product. You are only looking for the easy free stuff. An opportunist. God does not favour that kind of person. The kingdom of God costs everything we have and are. So then you are looking for a salvation without God. You see knowing God as a work...

You are not saying anything about following Christ. You would see following Christ as a work...which it is. It is a work that gives salvation... real salvation. Not the false assurance you are speaking of for remaining in the power of your flesh.

Amen. Only the flesh looks for an imaginary line in the sand that once they cross over once that part of life is done with. The walk with God is an ongoing deepening of relationship. Who gets married and thinks...there that's all I ever have to do with my wife (or husband)...just cross that off...

Jesus' part is finished. The people who do not follow Christ stay where they are and claim that Jesus walked in the Spirit for them. They stay static and use false teachings to support their lack of walk.
