Disciple: One who has left everything to follow Christ into becoming fit to attain the full stature of Christ here on earth. Convert: One who believes he is saved based on adhering to a belief that he is trusting in Jesus for services to be rendered.

Welcome to the forum Hep!!! Very good points! I love that battlefield analogy for Romans 7. I think the bottom of your post was lost....or you forgot to post the C option... Blessings to you!

I agree! Disciples are as rare as hen's teeth. One usually needs to do a worldwide search to find any. Converts are plentiful. Many are called but few are chosen.

Heb_10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Thomas doubted because he had not seen Jesus physically resurrected. But after the Spirit was poured out on mankind we have no record of Thomas ever doubting again.

It is not by our own self trust in Christ....but by the receiving of the new nature and dying to the old that we become the righteousness of God in Christ. When we walk as Jesus did then we are an example of the righteousness of God. No pretending... Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law...

Hi Mark!!!! I think that it is precisely this lowering of expectation that causes us to not attain to the fulness of our calling. The race is by faith....and we cannot outrun our own faith. So if we think it can't be done, then for us, it can't be. To teach this limitation (lack of a full...

Are you referring to the thread that Kidron posted about the law being abolished for Christians. I can take a joke!!! You sided with the most absurd propositions ever put forth on a Christian forum. How can you say you are filled with the Spirit and contradict truth so directly is beyond me...

The latest offering for your appraisal!!! :) Mat_10:41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

Basically, yes! But we are learning important things about how God sees us. Are you game for a few more???

There is no profit to the Lord in the unrighteous. We are to be salt AND light. Salt preserves the world. Light shows Christ to the world. So if you can't be a light at least you could have been salt (acted righteously). The saint is the light...the righteous are the salt. OK...here is the...

We don't need faith anymore when we are in heaven...so you don't actually believe in an entire sanctification...This doctrine is partial. I'm partial to it.

Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. He knows when we will die so He can space out the lessons accordingly so that He finishes His work in us in time. At the risk of drawing ungodliness from mockers I will relate a short testimony.. I began my walk in the presence of God walking in...

Kidron...you just may be the main course at the wedding feast of the Lamb!!

You're getting warmer...here is another clue... Mat 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: Mat 25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent...

But you understood the connection. You still have not solved the unjust steward parable. It goes a little farther....the pieces are there to get it...but you must think outside the box. :)

So do I. I think we are divided by a common doctrine.

Some have received a perfect Jesus and others have settled for a part-time collage student type Jesus. The part time Jesus doesn't demand very much at all. Just say...I'm hip with ya babe!!! and the thumb goes up! There is this other Jesus who happens to be sinless and perfect...the Son of the...

KUDOS BROTHER!!!! :)

We enter by faith because God accepted the sacrifice...not us. We are never consulted as to the efficacy of Jesus' blood. yes! No one ever received the Spirit through circumcision or eating kosher. walking in the Spirit does determine salvation...our continuing in the obedience of faith...

LOL
