Talk about a strawman...where do you get the idea that I am not talking about walking in the power of the Spirit and nothing else?

So far very good. The answer lies in that Christ indwells the one with faith so that He is doing the overcoming in us. If we put to death the deeds of the flesh through the power of the Spirit...we will live!

Yes! true faith is the key that opens the power of God to us to obey God's commandments. God does not just speak vanity when He says what we must do. There is amazing lack of fear of the judgments of God on this forum.

I am trying to save you from condemnation! You are indoctrinated by men into a salvation scheme that does nothing to empower you to walk as Jesus did. You are chasing wind. You are not a follower of Christ unless you are walking by His Spirit. Otherwise you are just claiming a belief in a scheme...

You have fallen into the trap!!!! Peter said that many twist Paul's meaning and condemn themselves. Paul is NOT a gnostic...keep reading! Paul was actually afraid of being cut-off from the kingdom himself. He saw himself as responsible for his own actions. He also said...woe to me if I don't...

If those who only see what men can do understood the power of the Spirit we would have no need of threads like this. The carnal man can only see 2 possibiblities...either we are forgiven sin or else we are trying not to sin. What blindness to the truth! Christ has come!!! We can walk in His...

The thought that we can get away with sin has led the world to it's present state. This is what the people want...immunity!!! So give them a false gospel that grants what ALL people want for themselves....and the churches will be filled. Satan really knows the fallen human heart.

As for the law.... Rom 2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Rom 2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; Rom 2:10 But glory, honour, and...

You sadly continue to ignore the truth. Instead you seek to condemn me who is pointing it out. Who else did this? Hmm!

I do always bear witness of the power of Christ's resurrection to overcome the Adamic nature! :) The gospel of grace is about the power to become sons of God...not a free for all in the flesh through a repealing of irksome laws that tend to limit our freedom of doing what we feel like. :)

Agreed! But that is not what the OP is about. The OP states that we need to do things for God AFTER we have claimed we are saved. That is like saying we can rob a bank if we do the sign of the cross first. The OP is based on a dark understanding that is not at all in the light.

It seems this forum is like a magnet to the lawless ones who reduce Jesus Christ to an anarchist who tolerates sin...even dies to protect our right to sin. In this scheme men don't change or convert...GOD DOES! So the law or anything that shows the truth...is abolished. What a time we are living...

You obviously have been indoctrinated by men against the truth. You have advanced into fables. I thank God that He has hidden the truth from seekers of their own advancement and revealed the truth to babes. It is marvelous and wonderful!!! Hallelujah!

This is hilarious!! :D You have to be joking here! I get the joke!!! Hey, I didn't write this post...my fingers did! LOL

Exactly...obedience proves love!! And love makes one obedient.

But the OP is tickling the ears....as in...you want to make it look like you have salvation???...you can now since you have declared yourself saved!!! So ironically the smokescreen against salvation by works is actually being preached but through the back door. Oh, the games of men! Faith...

It is simple: An unregenarate woman: Questions everything. Does whatever pleases her. A Spiritual woman: Knows that she is to please God not herself. So she only follows the Spirit and does not seek to impose her views on men. Rather she shows the truth by her submissive example. This is...

Quite the illogical statement! :)

You are piling on human efforts AFTER you claim salvation???? That's exactly what the Galatians were doing! There's no...do this and do that under grace. You are doing what you accuse me of doing. Human reasoning is a killer. You condemn the truth and the power of abiding in Christ, then you...

1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. This is most misused and twisted verse in the bible for the self-justifying crowd. John here is speaking of those who take no responsibility for their own sins (sound familiar?). The gnostics claimed to...
