    Galatians 5

    The hidden message is still hiden to most who claim to be Christians. That is the power to walk as Jesus walked. As He IS so ARE WE in this world. This is completely foreign to most since they have not yet seen anything.

    Falling from grace

    It's not about trusting in Jesus for your salvation. That is a human past time that has nothing to do with the eternal reality of the kingdom. It is about abiding in Christ daily and walking as Jesus walked. We are to conform to Christ through the death of the old man and the release of the...

    Falling from grace

    1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1Jn 2:3 And hereby...

    Falling from grace

    There are many spreaders of fables that declare that a Christian can sin without penalty....an immunity from prosecution from sin by God. We are held irresponsible and unaccountable. But this is the opposite of the truth. The Holy Spirit makes us more responsible not less. To whom so much has...

    Falling from grace

    A believer in immunity??? Jesus Christ sets us free from the law of sin and death through the cross...we die in Jesus so that we can be raised in newness of life in Jesus according to the power of the life to come. Anything other than that is based on fables.

    Falling from grace

    no and yes This is not what the gospel is declaring at all. Diplomatic immunity is a human invention that has no bearing on reality. Nobody has immunity from any law including gravity. So this is one of the fables we were warned about that men would adopt when they cannot receive the truth...

    Are Christians sinners?

    Sin separates men from God. Carnality is walking in our own strength and understanding and opinions. When we are empowered by the Spirit we walk the same as Jesus walked. In the OT this walk was called the "highway of holiness". In the New testament it is called "The Way". It is impossible to...

    What exactly is Non-denominationalism

    To denominate means to divide something from the rest by giving it a name. This of course goes directly against he unity of the Spirit. Our name is in Christ...no other division is required or commanded. So any group that names itself is a denomination. When we do this we practice heresy (division).

    Who is Israel?

    So you are saying that you have not yet encountered God and since that is your present experience you choose to read the bible as a book of people who don't know God other than reading a book?

    Falling from grace

    Gal_5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. I think very few Christians understand this verse. they think this doesn't happen to Christians...in spite of the fact that Paul was writing this to a new testament church. It...

    A serious major doctrinal change after the apostles

    People get hung up on labels. A church can be called something it isn't. So because a church is called "apostolic" does not mean that any other church cannot be or even that the one naming itself apostolic actually is. Oh yeah!!! :)

    Are Christians sinners?

    Anything less than 100% is still walking according to the flesh. We are not trying to sin less and less, as desirable and wise as that might be...since we are still missing the big picture of a complete victory in Christ. Rather we are going from a complete trust in God to a partial trust in Him...

    Are Christians sinners?

    A Christian is one who is learning to abide in Christ and walk only by the Spirit. One cannot sin when one does this. But in our time the superficiality of the gospel message presents a portion of the truth but without the power of the gospel. So it is not commonly understood in modern times...

    Non-Resistance and Pacifism

    Amen!!!! :)

    Who is Israel?

    Israel is a man (Jacob) who had a personal encounter with God. He found what he was seeking for. So everyone who finds God (or vice versa) in a personal encounter is of Israel.
  16. Episkopos

    Explanation sought of a verse from the Gospel:

    We do teach the law....but we teach to DO the law according to the Spirit.

    Faith without works is dead

    A new legalism entails making any system based on the reading of the bible. The only difference between claiming to be disciples of Moses (as the Pharisees) and claiming to be disciples of Jesus ....is semantics...unless one is actually walking in the power of Christ. Otherwise we are building...

    A serious major doctrinal change after the apostles

    Amen! In the words of Mr. Tozer... "We must have a new reformation. There must come a violent break with the irresponsible, amusement-mad paganized pseudo-religion which passes today for the faith of Christ and which is being spread all over the world by unspiritual men employing...

    Races?

    Actually God is against any unity that is not of Him. All of us just getting together is humanism. Jesus came to bring fire and a sword to divide out a people for Himself.

    Faith without works is dead

    Which law is more powerful...that we sin in Adam....or that we are set free (to not sin) in Christ? Most would say the latter but actually mean the former in actual practice. Is this not hypocrisy? Jesus did not come to bring a new legalism to bear on the problem of fallen man. He was...
