    Wanting To Work

    Even so and why is then that people, who have come and have believed, hunger and thirst again? It is because they do not keep coming to and believing in Christ. Salvation for men is not a one time occurrence, but a continuing thing based on what we have done and are doing with what God has...

    That is correct!

    @verzanumi24 Give God the glory!

    Assurance of salvation:

    So change the tense: "are Spirit and are Life". "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." Heb 13:8

    Wanting To Work

    I think that you misunderstood my post.

    Assurance of salvation:

    Yes, they were spoken and they were "Spirit" and the were "Life". "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John 1:14 It does not say the Word was made written scripture. My words are...

    Assurance of salvation:

    What you will find out there in many of these churches is that they will not allow you to come in and teach their people in their building without their permission. They do effectively practice as well as teach the quenching of the Holy Spirit of God and any other thing that is not that which...

    Wanting To Work

    Actually though, weren't all of the adult children of Israel saved out of Egypt while only two of them made it on into the Promised Land? Why do we presume that God is a respecter of persons? Those in the OT were lost after being saved but this cannot happen in the NT? God never changes and has...

    Assurance of salvation:

    Perhaps not many, but what can we do to change that? All we can do is our part, which is small enough, but did not Jesus take 5 loaves and two small fishes and multiply them to feed a multitude? What is our part? That is where we need to be and where we need to work... in our part.

    WHY I COULD NEVER CHOOSE TO BE A PROTESTANT. (one stupid thread title is as good as another)

    Following the lead of the Holy Ghost is certainly my favorite M.O. Should it not be preferable to following the lead of any man or the doctrines of any church group?

    Assurance of salvation:

    Yes, to feed on God's Word, but without the Holy Spirit the written words are dead. The Book is not filled with the Holy Ghost. People are filled with the Holy Ghost. Jesus is Life! Books, even Bibles are also dead, but like Jesus dead on the cross they have potential which can be quickened by...

    By Whose stripes you were healed...

    "And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away." Mark 4:5-6

    Assurance of salvation:

    Thanks for understanding my friend. Give God the glory!
  15. amadeus

    Assurance of salvation:

    It is why Jesus said this: "... Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you." John 6:53 His flesh alone hanging on the cross was dead but then the Holy Spirit resurrected that dead flesh. It was not red spilled blood...

    The Return

    Not really a question in spite of the question mark. Sorry! What I mean is people are supposed to communicate with each other as well as with God. One way of communicating is as you indicated: via poetry. God communicates with people through scripture, through poetry, through what we see out in...

    Assurance of salvation:

    Have you said something different than I did? Ah, but you are looking at the written scriptures as the Word of God. I look at them as the dead carcass that needs to be resurrected in a person by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not make mistakes, but the Holy Spirit may be limited by a...

    Assurance of salvation:

    @verzanumi24 Thank you for your kind responses. Give God the glory! We are accountable always to God for what we have done with what He has provided us. We are like those left with talents, one with 10, one with 5 and one with 1. Failure to properly use what we are given may mean a permanent...

    Assurance of salvation:

    I have no problem with that. I do understand the difference between Easter and Passover. I still use the KJV as my primary English Bible. It has always been my Bible from 1976 to date. If we are really led by the Holy Spirit, will the errors of men cause us real trouble?
