    The Doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

    "JesusIsFaithful, post: 433086, member: 6711"]Sorry. The horses are galloping away. Here is why. 2 Corinthians 11:1Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I...

    Depression

    Rejoice in the lord always. Do it as warfare....do it by faith. And the presence of God will come near.

    Eternal Security

    I think it is rather easy considering how we tend towards lukewarmness unless we are active in our pursuits. Those who are at ease have ceased to watch and pray as they ought. Isn't it natural for water to become room temperature...or lukewarm. So we need to stay connected and vigorous in our...

    The Doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

    Finally after going in and out of the Spirit...on that day...we will go out no more. Rev. 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem...

    The Doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

    Jesus said... John 10: 9 "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. If we enter into Christ we go in...but only the fully mature in Christ can remain...abide there. So then our Christian walk is to seek His kingdom and to abide in...

    The Doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

    If we look at this verse from Rev. Rev. 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Why does John say this? Many people think they are always in the Spirit due to faulty teaching. But John obviously was not always in the Spirit. Otherwise he...

    The Doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

    Hold your horses there pardner. There is quite the misunderstanding about the baptism in the Spirit. I personally don't use this way of saying it for some obvious reasons...being that we don't just have one filling of the Holy Spirit in our lives. At least I hope not! When we abide in Christ...

    Who or What Is the Fire Burning?

    Amen. And this for all believers....not just ministers.

    New heaven and new Earth

    God Himself will be the light of it..and we all know He has no end. So then the future galaxy we will inhabit will never age...since it is eternal. The rest of the universe...not so much? I think the seas are just seas...strangely enough! ;)

    Who or What Is the Fire Burning?

    Works in and out of the gospel? We will be judged..we Christians...by our works. This is called the BEMA judgment seat of Christ. Where every WORK will be evaluated....which includes our words. 2 Cor. 5:9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10...

    Who or What Is the Fire Burning?

    Bad doctrine leads to bad character and behaviour. Bad doctrine isn't true or real....so there is nothing there to burn. It is the effects that bad doctrines have that are the problem. Paul is speaking of works of iniquity. As in...filthy garments. We have to keep our garments clean or else we...

    The Record of Creation

    In a beginning? בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים There is no definite article that would read "the" for beginning. But there may be other reasons.... The way the Hebrew is laid out it can mean..."Creating, God created" IOW the same way that the bible uses emphatic speech...as in, verily verily...

    Who or What Is the Fire Burning?

    Iniquity is a special kind of sin...a sin committed by believers who mix in flesh with the Spirit. Jesus covers this sin, yes...IF it is repented of. We soil our holy garments with the flesh...so that they become filthy. Baby Christians do this unwittingly...but one must "grow out" of doing so...

    Scripture with Scripture

    Faith in Jesus causes us to enter the kingdom...so then the kingdom was where Jesus walked. But we must understand this as a spiritual hidden thing...although it's power is felt on Earth. It is like the wind which is invisible yet we see it's effects. The kingdom of God is the realm where love...

    Scripture with Scripture

    We are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness which is found there. Are we first to seek believers? Not really. The kingdom of God is where the life of Jesus is made available to us...in the Spirit. It is Zion. it is a spiritual realm where the devil and his minions are displaced.

    Who or What Is the Fire Burning?

    "I'm not discussing the Berma Seat of Christ. I'm not discussing 2 Timothy 2:20 and 21." You aren't seeing that the word interprets the word. Indeed the bible interprets itself. You need to look at other verses to get the whole meaning. So then if you are not sure about the Bema seat judgment...

    Blotted out of The Book Of Life?

    Who will be blotted out of the book of life? Those who judge others or refuse to forgive after they themselves have been forgiven. Those who hold others to a higher standard than themselves. Those who exaggerate their claims to knowledge of God.

    Who or What Is the Fire Burning?

    "GodsGrace, post: 432576, member: 7593"]Verse 13 is referring to the workers in verse 5 and 6...Paul and Apollo. It's referring to those who build upon what Paul and Apollo began...and what did they begin? They laid the foundation which is Christ. verse 10 And ANOTHER is building upon it...

    Scripture with Scripture

    Since you said that the kingdom was something the sects sought after. But actually the kingdom of God is in the spiritual realm. A person who is not spiritually aware cannot see it.
