I dont need to know you I can only respond to your posts. And they are very easy to read and see through. You ran away from our first conversation becuase you were in to deep. But you continued giving out little likes to anyone who would disagree with me on anything. Pretty childish and easy to see through. I never insulted you. But you are insulted. How about stop taking it personal and do what Christ is asking you to do. die to the flesh and stop living for you. If you get hurt. its you who is still alive not christ like your told to do. Paul said it. Its no longer I who lives but Christ who lives in me. ANd I can say the same, how about you? Still hurt and offended? still insulted? Growing up into Christ is a sore thing and costly. you quoted so many scriptures about growing up and here your are acting like a childin the flesh at your age? Christ called us children and nthing changed.
LOL
What age?
How old am I??

OK.
Even though I have no clue what redeemed means,
could you tell me what happens if my child dies and I decide not to believe in God anymore? I lose all faith.

Am I still redeemed? (whatever that means).
You would come back. even if you never you are still redeemed.
Why would anyone turn there back on God cause there child dies? I dont understand your thinking.

Not much I guess.
Paul used the words Justification and Sanctification interchangeably and he did cause some confusion.

It took theologians to sort it all out.

But I have a feeling you don't like theologians.
So I guess you'll have to dig through the N.T. yourself and get the different meaning of the two words.

Just remember, there are TWO words so it must be that they mean two different ideas.

Justification is IMMEDIATE. Done by God ONLY.
Sanctification is ongoing. Done by God and US.

It might take you some time to complete this study.

Are you quite sure it me who needs to study it. You said by your own admission that you dont know it. Even after you tried to teach on it. Now you are saying I need to study them. You clearly still dont get sanctified. And your still trying to teach?

What about the thief on the cross? Apparently he repented of his sins and confessed that Jesus was Lord, otherwise he wouldn't have promised him a place in 'paradise'. This was promised despite the fact that this same thief condemned Jesus along with the other thief on the cross, priests and elders.

(Matthew 27:42-44) "He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. {43} He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. {44} The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth."

What "sanctification" did he go through if this is supposed to be an ongoing process? How long is this process supposed to take?

You dont need anymore. Its all in my first post. attacking or correcting wrong thinking and misquoting scriptures
Oh, I see what you are saying.
Word of faith nonsense.
I should have seen it coming with your know it all attitude.
With your train of thought, you are absolutely right, therefore, everyone else's point of view must be absolutely wrong.
I call that a losers mentality.
You lose in the end.

If I have something to say I give scripture to back it up. I dont have much to say. and if you read the whole thread before bumbing your gums you would have read I never even heard of word of faith. I see your angry and ready for a fight already lol. Stop it. You will end up looking silly. Its started already.

Teach?
Who me?
I don't teach.
I converse.
I leave teaching to the professionals. It takes many years to learn how to teach.

Hey D
It's kinda difficult to go through sanctification when you're hanging on a cross.
Dontcha think?
How dumb do you think God is?
How unjust do you think God is?
How unloving do you think God is?
