Yes, faith is important, but you didn't explain why Paul wrote "from faith to faith."
What i posted isn't what someone previously taught you and please do not tell us that the Holy Spirit showed you.......as you are the one who was not honest with us about your '"Prayers."""
We are still waiting for you to pray for the Rapture, as you told us that "God always answers your prayers">
So, let Hin answer that one,
@1stCenturyLady, unless you are not intereted in being Raptured.
Or will you tell us that God told you not to pray it?
uh huh.
sure He did.
Your mind is not your spirit.
Listen.
You are a Spirit, and a Soul, who lives in a Body.
You are a "tri-part" being, made in the image of God who is a "Trinity"......3<>ONE
We are the same..........tho slightly different....
We are a SPIRIT... and this is the part that is BORN AGAIN.
We have a SOUL>......and this is your
mind, will, and emotions, and these are not born again
We exist in a "body that is dead because of sin" and will be replaced...... And being that you told us that God "" always answers your Prayers....every one of them, everytime you pray..""...then go ahead and confirm that again, and pray for the Rapture to occur TODAY........so that you can get your new body,
Or you can just keep pretening you are spiritual, when you in fact are just needing anyone you can find, to look to you as some sort of scriptural authority, and you are definitely not that one @1stCenturyLady , according to your lack of faith in Christ to keep you saved.
See, if you can't even grasp this most basic understanding of Etrernal life, then you are definitely not able to discern the scriptures, and your various OLD Pentecostal Theology based false teaching certainly proves that out.
However, if you will repent of your unbelief, and again trust in Christ to KEEP YOU SAVED, and that is not you trying to "abide" or keep commandments or whatever other WORKS you are trying to do, to try to stay saved @1stCenturyLady .........so, if you will repent of all that Self Righteousness, then it can be that God will start to show you some BIBLE., as you could certainly use the instruction, now that you are in your later years.
as long as we keep abiding in Him.
When you are trying to "abide in Christ" as a self effort...... then you do not have Faith in Christ, and that is why you are trying to do that, instead of understanding that the only way to "abide IN Christ", is to be BORN AGAIN, into Him.
You are trying to WORK to stay there, vs, simply understanding the =
who put you there, keeps you there.
Philippians 1:6
You know nothing about me if this is what you think. I am saved,
I know your "old time" Pentecostal Type, very well and ive never disputed your actual Salvation.
Listen...
@1stCenturyLady .
If you had the mind of Christ, as you pretend, then you would be giving Jesus The LORD Praise on this forum for yrs, vs, denying that Jesus keeps you saved.
So, you have a carnal mind, and a false presentation, that tries to "sound spiritual", yet you can't even understand that the Eternal Covenant of Blood created by The Cross of Christ... that is the New Covenant = is an ETERNAL Covenant, freely given to a Believer as "the Gift of Salvaiton".... which is ONLY based on the "one time ETERNAL Sacrifice of Jesus".. on the Cross.
You dont even understand this, and that is 6yr old Sunday School theology.........and yet you are telling us you are saved....what 50 + yrs?
So, as i told you, you are a victim of the "Old time" Pentecostals and their garbage theology that had you chasing the "infilling" instead of studying Romans 3:21-28, and Romand 4:4 -4:6- 4:8, and 2 Corin 5:19, and John 3:17.
You were busy trying to practice "tongue talking" in church, instead of learning what the "imputed righteousness" of Christ
ETERNALLY did for you.
And that's why you have NO IDEA, even today.
You are trying to "abide" to try to keep yourself saved, becasue you are as Paul teaches.. (KJV) "Bewitched" "fallen from Grace" and "in the Flesh".
