They are Christians in the true sense of the term...they abide in Christ. :)

Your interpretation of that one verse goes against the rest of the gospel. You actually don't realize how wrong you are. John wrote his epistle to correct the gnostic heresy that didn't take responsibility for sins committed in a carnal body. In other words, the gnostics disassociated themselves...

Is this from "human wisdom 101"??? Or from the bible? 1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 1Co 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1Co 2:6 Howbeit...

Is the gospel about a word study or power?

Why is it so difficult to accept that there is no sin in Chrsit and those who are in Christ don't sin? It then behooves us to seek the Lord in order to truly enter into Christ according to the truth.....not just claim we are in Christ with the evidence that proves otherwise. In the old days men...

The unity is only in the Spirit. We show our disunity when we seek to understand the bible on our own...or through a method we have learned from men. The truth lies deeper than most are willing to venture. Consequently it is too easy to settle for a gospel that does not contain that...

1 John 1:8 was written to counter the gnostic notion that it is not we that sin when we sin but the body...of which we are no longer responsible. It was never meant as people use it today...to contradict the rest of the letter. One is always responsible for committed sins. But John goes on to...

Actually the faith in Christ is a means of living and acting (behaving). The resurrection of Jesus followed the cross. This means that when we walk by the newnes of life we don't need to be constantly forgiven for what we are still unable to do. Do you believe in the new nature that is without...

And Peter also denied Christ... The church was not born until Pentecost with the resurrection power of Christ being given to men. Don't confuse salvation with the kingdom of God. OT saints did not know the gospel and they were saved anyway. But now that he gospel is available together with the...

You are perhaps confusing mercy with grace. We are saved from our sins by becoming empowered by grace. Mercy means that we are forgiven when we sin. God IS merciful. But God has always been merciful. Jesus didn't die so that the Father could become merciful. That is a backwards Christianity. The...

My doctrine does not come from what is convenient for me. I prefer the truth no matter if it condemns me or not. We are saved to do the works of God. We are not saved in order to become saved. Eph_2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before...

The 10 commandments applies to all as an indicator of what power we are living from. We can't enforce a spiritual law. We, as Christians are to show the way to the world by exemplifying the upholding of the law. We are to show the character and personality of the law through grace.

I think maybe you are refering to this.. Mat_23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Mar_12:40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers...

Christianity is not based on men placing their faith where they will. That is still being saved by works. God has to get a hold of you and translate you into His kingdom. The faith must come from above. Anybody can trust in anything for whatever purpose they wish. But this is not the message of...

We have confidence in God's overcoming provision according to the Spirit...not vain promises of a self-applied salvation through the fleshly understanding of the bible.

I'm about to turn 54 so in approximately 1 more year I'll be able to get a discount at Wendy's!

The truth is that the Holy Spirit is required both to understand the scriptures and empower a follower to experience what is written on the pages.

You are making a carnal argument based on the US as the supreme truth. How misguided can one get?

It is not a salvation by lofty human claims....but by demonstration of the Spirit and His power. 1Co_2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

Believing in Jesus without the power to walk as Jesus is pointless in regards eternity. It might make someone feel good to do so. But why stop at a romantic view of Jesus? Why not enter into Hos grace and become a disciple? Why not? The cost is far too much...we want without surrendering our...
