    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    Here are a few "Twists". 1.) "cult of Mary" 2.) John Calvinist's 3.) JW's 4.) Mormons 5.) "im a denomination" 6.) I can lose my salvation 7.) I have to confess sin that Jesus already paid for 2000 yrs ago 8.) Water Baptism saved me 9.) Keeping law and the 10 commandments is...

    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    Paul said to us..both. "Be a follower of Me, as i follow Christ". He didn't say "worship".... so, dont get in a twist about that... He is explaining that the mysteries of Christ and the Doctrine for the Body, is "FROM Christ through me" almost 100%. So, when we study Paul's Letters, we find...

    Eternal Salvation is not a "do over" situation. Its The FINISHED work of JESUS on the Cross. You took Jesus by Faith. God took you by the Holy Spirit, Birth. "done deal". "ETERNAL LIFE".... is not Temporary. Jesus said..."" All that believe in me.. (by faith, one time)...I give unto them...

    Is there any "sin" or "condemnation" in God's Righteousness? And we have been given.., "The GIFT of Righteousness" "the GIFTS and callings of God are without repentance'."" A.) "without repentance" = He will never take them back or end them for any reason.

    What you've become in Christ... is not a work you do.

    We all die one of 2 ways. "in our sin" or "forgiven". And being born again, is the only proof your sins are forgiven. water can't do that for you. Why? Because WATER BAPTISM, did not die on the Cross for your sin, Dev553344.

    So, you are taught that if you are in the middle of the Desert, (no water) you can't become a Christian. That's interesting, isn't it. And you are taught that the Dying Thief (next to Christ on the Cross) who is in Heaven now, and not water baptized.... is.... Ummmm. Hummmm. welll. Ok...

    When your mind of faith is God's perspective of the born again as a "made righteous" "New creation in Christ" then you have the renewed mind. When you understand that the born again Christian is always this.... "I am the righteousness of God, in Christ"...... Then you have God's "mind"...

    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    Actually Paul said that His Gospel was not given to him by any person, but He received it from Jesus, Himself. Paul said that "the Gospel of the GRACE of God", that is Paul's Gospel, that came from Christ is "my Gospel". He said this 3x in the New Testament "MY Gospel". And He said that if...

    What you've become in Christ... is not a work you do.

    The Holy Spirit is not given to anyone until they do this, dev553344 A.) Jesus said..,"you must be Born again". See that "BORN...,= again"? That is birth #2..... in the Spirit........as you already had birth #1, and you can thank your mama for that ONE. Now each of us has to have a 2nd...

    What you've become in Christ... is not a work you do.

    Correct. We of ourselves are not good, we are definitely not righteous. So, as this is the case, why would anyone try to falsely believe that they can change that by your "self" effort? See, the eternal issue it this.. God is Righteous. and we are unrighteous. God is Holy, as we have SIN...

    Taking the Communion : Worthily

    "Christians" are "born again" That is how you know. Jesus said..."you MUST be born again"...., and that is not water baptism.

    What you've become in Christ... is not a work you do.

    If "doing all that" can't "save you to begin with", then "not doing it" won't impact what God has given that is our Eternal Salvation. If you can figure out that works, water, commandments, and law, can't save you, then you'll be able, hopefully, to understand that not doing any of those has no...

    Exactly See, the born again, ... is not your body or your mind. Its your Spirit. Your mind is "where you THINK", and so we have to align our understanding regarding who we have become as "a new creation in Christ" with GOD's understanding of this Spiritual Realiy. When our mind and His mind...

    A verse like this.. "being now translated from Darkness... To Light"... or, "Christ has redeemed us from the Curse of the Law" or "Christ is the end of the Law for Righteousness, to every one who Believes" or "being now transformed from glory to glory into the image of Christ" or "Lest the...

    Jesus is the living HOLY Seed of God, come down from Heaven, who was wrapped in Human flesh, born of a virgin. He didn't get His "Blood Type" from a man., because GOD is HIS FATHER.
