    the law of faith?

    And so it goes. So many it seems consider themselves safe... So they say [OSAS]. Egypt was not even salvation but rather the temporary covering God provided when they were found naked. Then they were "saved" out of Egypt with a real Hope, if they only followed Moses as he followed God, the...

    the law of faith?

    Yes, we work in the daylight so that we are able to see. Blind men cannot see and cannot do the work of a sighted man. All dead men are blind. How many among us are dead? The Word of God will quicken hearts bringing men to Life, but as the famine of the Word of God spreads all around us what is...

    Endless Pet Doctrines

    While I do understand, the only thing some people are able to do in their carnal nature is to work within the system. This is the bottomless pit, if you will, and the only way to get out of it or around it is through the Way that God has provided. Unfortunately too many people expect what the...

    Non-Tongue Speakers Roll Call Poll Survey

    @JesusIsFaithful Well I have immersed myself again in this thing and again God simply says to leave it alone one more time. I would guess that you are a good Christian man working to do God's will. So am I, whether you believe me or not. God is the most important thing in my life. A person does...

    Endless Pet Doctrines

    Of course children do need to be growing, don't they? But if the parents withhold the proper chastisement, instruction and food, what is the likely result?

    What Does It Mean to be Dead in Christ?

    It is as I have said. You have decided what you believe is right and that no one else can be right when it conflicts with what you have decided. You advise me to pray according to your prescription but you refuse to even seriously consider any other way. How many people will you cause to stumble...

    Endless Pet Doctrines

    Even a song with wrong words can be sung in the right Spirit. Perhaps you could not sing the song you quoted above because of what is in your heart about it, but everyone doesn't have the same understanding on it. You may even attempt to explain it to person whose heart is right, but when they...

    The Problem With The Trinity

    Do we need such a clear explanation for ourselves or for others? If we do and we are sincere and we are searching, will God not provide it? Ask the average believer who says he is a Trinitarian and probably he will be unable to say why other than it is what his ministers or his friends or his...

    Non-Tongue Speakers Roll Call Poll Survey

    God can edify the believer as He will. We should not presume to tell God how He can or cannot work His work. It is His work even if it happens to be in you or me. We simply need to give Him access. This permitting Him to come in and work in us is what really is the free will of men. What is...

    What Does It Mean to be Dead in Christ?

    We will never hunger again because we are eating His Body and drinking His blood. Do we stop reading the Bible and talking to God and listening to God after we have repented that first time and begun to serve Him? Remember this parable? "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh...

    Non-Tongue Speakers Roll Call Poll Survey

    You keep on using that phrase "for private use" as if God never gave a gift to one person to encourage that person, to edify that person for his selected function in the Body of Christ. God gives whatever is necessary to each person who is to be a part of the Body of Christ to accomplish the...

    Non-Tongue Speakers Roll Call Poll Survey

    Because someone gave you bad advice so then have you decided that everyone else should follow your lead instead following the advice of this Don Reed fellow or perhaps even the lead of the Holy Spirit? To me that is what you are saying. Probably others here are reading you the same way, whether...

    “I will shew thee my faith by my works.“

    Or could we say it is up to the Holy Spirit in a person to harmonize James with Paul?

    The Emperors New Clothes

    And who is the Bride of Christ and who are the guests? "Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with...

    Scripture with Scripture

    I have never had that interpretation of tongues, but my wife has. I remember when she first started to do it, there was no doubt in my mind that it was real because she would sometimes quote a verse of scripture verbatim which I knew she did not have memorized. This being able to see it both...

    A different concept....

    Some of those old habits are what have been leading people repeatedly back into sin as I see it. But people also like to find a resting place in a church group and its beliefs rather than simply resting in Jesus. The mouth may say the words, but it really takes more than words, doesn't it?

    A different concept....

    Amen! How many of the Scribes and the Pharisees, supposedly Masters of the Law were right in line what Jesus had to say? On the other hand how of them did He line up with...?

    Scripture with Scripture

    I purposely said final judgment because I was thinking in line with your clarification. Every place I have been with one exception maybe I have been out of line with the official stance. The exception was when I was a practicing Catholic and then I was also out of step but did not know it at...
