    I will pray for you, sister. :) I agree that we can't fall into the slothfulness of the modern religious establishment. We need to watch and pray like never before. If only you lived in Canada. We have a women's house.

    The Book of Remembrance.

    So then in which resurrection and judgment is the book of remembrance opened? Is it at the Bema judgment which is the judgment of the house of God? Or is it at the GWT judgment where all nations will be judged?

    Good on you! :) Well because you wish to not transgress holiness...you are well on your way working out your salvation...in my books. :) I believe that the fear of the Lord keeps us lean...it keeps us in the race. It causes us to not rest on our laurels or be satisfied with a status that says...

    It is simple to just work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. That is the way of it for those who can abide it. Most people would rather abide a convenient lie than an obvious truth. I prefer the raw truth of it! :)

    I think...for all the grief that this will cause on judgment day...that we should not assume anything. So many have been sold a lie on this subject. To me the proof of salvation is to walk in the salvation of a new life by the Spirit. And that is not to mean that 'I'M" saved for ever because...

    The Book of Remembrance.

    Hi Nancy! I see this book as unique...and I will explain what I believe is the right understanding of it.

    The Book of Remembrance.

    One of the main keys to unlocking the meaning of the book of Remembrance and who this might be speaking of is in this statement... And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; "My jewels"....This is very telling. In other references to the...

    Exactly! So if I have a sore knee and it is healed...I have been saved. Is that the same as becoming like Jesus? Paul said "you cannot be saved unless you remain in the ship!" in Acts. (I am kind of surprised that a sect has not arisen that lives on ships thinking that this is the only way to...

    The Book of Remembrance.

    But why a separate book for a people who would seem to fit into either the category of the saints...or at least the category of the righteous? When God has established boundaries and categories that have a definite criteria, it is normal that human beings, being unpredictable, to fall between...

    The Book of Remembrance.

    We know that there will be at least three books opened up on judgment day...and I see that number as being 3. (after careful consideration of course) Notice this... Rev. 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there...

    The Book of Remembrance.

    Here is a subject that few speak of...and yet it is rather an important consideration when it comes to we who actively seek to advance with God. Mal. 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written...

    I am very careful with Christianese....or Christian sounding buzzwords. Once we get in the habit of replacing an accurate biblical statement with the religious jargon of our times...well it's a slippery slope as they say. :) To me, "saved" is not a status. One can be a believer, even a...

    JOHN'S BAPTISM

    John's baptism established an authority outside the religious structures that men had erected. God always does this. He does not come under an established authority of men. So then John prepared a people to receive a man under God's authority...apart from what men recognize as religiously...

    Spiritual/Earthly Israel

    LOL You are just using one verse...which you are not understanding...to refute others which don't line up with...you guessed it...a faulty understanding. We see this kind of error all the time. By taking everything literally concerning Israel...you are actually selling out your own birthright...

    Removal Theology not Replacement Theology

    The land covenants were fulfilled already. Don't live in the past. Joshua 21:43 So the LORD gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. 1 Kings 4:21 And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the...

    In my view, the spiritual walk is about location, location, location. Heb. 12:22 But you are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, Statements such as these show a depth of walk that few indeed will be able...

    I think this is kind of right...but for some issues.....that 1st century Lady is seeing as well. It depends on what you mean by "saved" and "in the kingdom". If you believe a person can be saved in a state of eternal loss...as in naked and shamed...then OK that's still salvation. But I find...

    Spiritual/Earthly Israel

    ...and if God was a respecter of persons then the DNA salvation scheme could have some validity. But it is written...Gal. 3:22 “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.” All Gentiles? Or all people? The word...

    Spiritual/Earthly Israel

    All Israel is a reference to the Gentiles coming into the commonwealth of Israel as Ephraim.

    Many are called but few are chosen

    We could see the talent as the ability to understand the word. Since it is only as one truly understands the word can it bear fruit. But this understanding is itself according to grace. In Hebrew glory is "weight". So the heavier something is....the more glory it contains. (don't let...
