it is easy to judge as you do...but get your bible out... I have shown from the bible the mercy of God...which you have not known.

Your prejudices deceive you if you think you understand grace so much...when I have not seen you ever employ it on this forum. You are obsessed with your own sense of righteousness and exhibit no love. So then read back your own words....and ask others what they think. A person that claims...

prove it....Prove that you are not just religiously indoctrinated....use the bible.

The second one is biblical. The other I think you are trying to make a weak argument??

Actually a full surrender can be a fleeting thing. As soon as our lives improve we tend to get distracted in the world again. After all, a living sacrifice tends to wiggle off the altar.

"1stCenturyLady, post: 439987, member: 7883"]I see justification and sanctification as at the same time. People believe that sanctification is a process. I don't. I see it always referred to in the past tense. It is both an event AND a process. One is a gift from God...a gift of purity. And...

I am speaking far beyond what you have been indoctrinated into believing here... There is eternal life...now. And then there is the judgment of the world at the end of this age. Did you know that there is a difference?..because you are treating everything the same. So then only in Christ do we...

OUR righteousness is as filthy rags...it is imperfect and very lacking. But is the righteousness of God ALSO filthy rags? Many believers think so. But the righteousness of God has no sin whatsoever. Under the shadow of His wings we are made perfectly clean.

He who abides in Christ is holy as He is holy.

"1stCenturyLady, post: 439954, member: 7883"]When we truly repent from all our past sin, Jesus takes away those sins, nailing them to His cross. Yes! We are sinless of sins unto death and have received Christ's righteousness. Actually we can still be found to be sinners...unless we seek the...

As Christians we are justified by the life of Jesus....IF we are walking in that life. That's the catch. Jesus died for the sins of the world. But He was resurrected so that we might partake of the same kind of life (the eternal kind) that He lived among us. He who says he abides in Christ ought...

I have both the bible and the Spirit. it is better to have more than one reference when taking a bearing. if you took the time to check out what I'm writing you would see that it is biblical....and spiritual. A lot of people write biblical sounding things....but there is no life in it. one must...

It's not the churchy religious grace, that's for sure. ;) I testify of grace that has power. We who have been given grace are to walk in that power. But we are not to judge others. God judges these. What we do judge is how people mishandle the word, not making a distinction between the world and...

To you it seems that way because I'm not religious. God is looking for spiritual fruit not religious nuts. ;)

"justbyfaith, post: 439829, member: 7886"]It is false doctrine to say that saving grace is extended to those who haven't put their faith in Christ and His shed blood (Matthew 7:13-14, John 14:6, Hebrews 9:22). You are confusing grace and justification. Just because words sound biblical doesn't...

Those who have known surrender...full surrender to God...will realize that there is a keeping power of God...but that it is very difficult to remain fully consecrated in every situation. Consequently we will come in and out of the Spirit during our lives. And this is not a bad thing...IF we...

That's called eisegesis. You are trying to read in a conclusion in the face of the text saying something you don't like. Nobody can force you into bible literacy. You are responsible for your beliefs.

The iniquity was woven into their ministry. It's everywhere in our time.

="Enoch111, post: 439786, member: 7853"]If it's true it's not new, and if it's new it's not true. Which Pharisee said that? Not one of the more open ones I would think. Jesus was seen as an upstart bringing in new-fangled ideas....much like His followers today. We have a whole bunch of...

Word of knowledge. Useful when breaking the kingdom ice with non-believers. Prophecy is for believers...as is the word of wisdom.
