Circumcision Without Hands

[1stCenturyLady]

Would that be to learn, come to a deeper knowledge of the Scriptures-and of Christ Jesus-or to try and refute or debunk?
I have a background--I have testimonies, not willing to share on a public Forum.
I would definitely lean toward Reformed Baptist-but not agreeing with the doctrine of election- there are some deeper aleithia/truth to be found-in the Scriptures and secondary resources.
That's all I want to know.

Johann.

I'm a Teacher, but I have learned some things on the forums that are profound.

You seem to not see the logic in what I said about the key word Say, even though John clarified it in the 2nd chapter of 1 John. Are you more a denominationalist and only believe what they say? I'm not. I'm open minded to the Spirit only.

I am a complicated man, with a analytical mindset since I was a lad.
My pathos is to rightly cutting straight the word of truth, the cross, Jesus, Him crucified, Him resurrected, atonement, salvation, justification, sanctification.

I am not lazy in the studying of the Scriptures and put it into practice whenever I can.
I have been in debates with Imams and rabbi's-but mostly Imams-you may find a 6 month debate with them on this Forum, and I am not shy to get my hands dirty in doing the will/boule/thelema of our Father
I don't claim that I walk 24/7 in the Spirit or that I am sinless, the more I come to know Jesus the more I realize my shortcomings-maybe you should read some of the biographies of the early saints and their thoughts lying on a deathbed-a real eye opener.
So far I am not in agreement with you and your beliefs, no offense to you-just read Matt 25 and James-the gospel is not accumulative head knowledge sister-it is DOING and OBEYING what stands written, Perfect Tense.

Even the demons believe, and they tremble [Not saying you are a demon]

Shalom to you and family.

Sister-I am a nobody-and was a pastor for over 30 years in a ministry called "The Ark" in Durban-a ministry the same as David Wilkerson and was in contact with Nicky Cruz-there we put the gospel into practice-daily-See if you can look up David Wilkerson's ministry-the early beginnings in the ghettos-then you will get to know me, if that's what you want.

That was a good book, and I like David Wilkerson. I've got his books.

I was at Jack Hayford's church in California for many years. Whey I would receive a vision, I would tell Jack and he'd tell the congregation. When I received the office of Teacher, Jack and his son-in-law anointed me for the office.

I thought "reformed" was Calvinism. What about reformed do you hold to and what do you not?

Not anything Reformed is Calvinism-Calvinism (also called the Reformed tradition, Reformed Protestantism, Reformed Christianity, or simply Reformed) is a major branch of Protestantism that follows the theological tradition and forms of Christian practice set down by John Calvin and other Reformation-era theologians.

I read everything, even the ancient rabbinical writings of rabbis, folklore, customs and manners-at the moment I don't hold to anything BUT the Scriptures and do a deeper study on the Morphology and Syntax in Scripture-and have met a Dr. Utley, a professor in hermeneutics, and learning a lot from him and his team-so if you want to label me, just a Baptist-and Dr. Utley seems to be unknown in his works and exposition of the Scriptures.
Maybe you know him?

Now I'm confused. You say you are not Calvinist, you are Reformed Baptist, Yet all Reformed is by John Calvin. Huh?

 

[Johann]

Maybe you should retread and reread what I have said to you. I said I was caught up in the snares of Calvinism-but no longer.
Are you trying to ekpeiradzo me with evil intentions?
I also said I am a Baptist-under Dr. Utley.
Are you, as a woman, trying to say I am a Calvinist?
Get your act together before any further dialogue.
Clear enough?
Johann.

[Robert Gwin]

Jesus is God, as He is the embodiment of the Godhead.

Why did Jesus promote Jehovah as being not only his God, but the God of his followers as well maam?

 

[Robert Gwin]

There is also a list in Galatians 5:19-21. Have you read them. I don't commit them either, but it is only because of the Holy Spirit indwelling me that I have no desire to.

I am sincerely happy for you maam, I struggle constantly as did Paul who was certifiably anointed by holy spirit and personally selected by Jesus. I am able not to practice, and very rarely commit a serious sin, since I became a Christian, only once since I made the truth my own, but it is a constant struggle. Since each one of us have our own personal thorn in the flesh, I hope I am entirely in error, but I question your honesty Lady.

You have me wondering now, I have always taken it for granted that each of us struggle against something that draws us, but I have had a few like yourself that state they have no desire to. I have even had many who tell me point blank they don't commit any sin, which of course states the Bible is wrong. There is only one man in recorded history who lived his entire life without sinning.

 

[Behold]

Cut to the chase-what is it you are looking for?
Is @Behold not your rabbi/teacher?
Johann.

Let "behold" answer that....

Behold is a Teacher. So when you are posting with Him, He is Teaching.
When you are on one of His Threads, you are being taught.

Now, that is in a general way...but specifically, .... 1stCenturyLady is not my "student", as you are implying.
For her to be my "student" she would need to be in a private or live situation with me... "one on one"..... that being emails, or literally in my Classroom.

 

[Behold]

Paul means literally free from the desire to sin, not just a covering of the blood of Jesus as we still commit willful sins against the Ten Commandments. Right?

"when you walk in the spirit".....

But, if you try to deal with the old man, instead of understanding that "the old man is crucified with Christ' then sin consciousness will appear., because the Carnal mind, is connected to the flesh.

You can't see why I am confused? You need to be nasty? Looks like your fruit of the Spirit needs pruning!

What about this question puts me in an "evil" category? You are being disrespectful and hurtful.

Go back and reread our conversation-you are trying to "label" me as a Calvinist, and I don't appreciate that.
Thanks

We may see having the Spirit differently. Yes we can grieve and quench the Spirit completely, thereby not always walking in the Spirit.

But we can also never leave walking in the Spirit. I abide in Him, and He abides in me. I guess because the first gift He gave me immediately was hearing His voice our relationship took off like a rocket and just keeps growing. A couple months ago I asked for a new gift, but only if it was from Him. Within five minutes I had it. I now have discernment of spirits by sight. It is a way to "test the spirits." My pastor has a pure white bright glory around him. And once there was a pure white image standing next to him. A couple weeks ago I visited a church with my girlfriend, a retired missionary from Japan. I expected to see a white glory coming off the pastor too when he started to preach, but I was shocked. His was black.

I can't see this around normal people, ONLY a person while they are teaching the word of God, not when they are giving announcements or common things. That is why it is only for testing the spirits. The pastor with the black (I don't know what to call it) was mostly cracking jokes during his sermon. I didn't get anything out of it that was spiritual.

I have.

You wanted to know why I wanted to know what you believed. I said I need to know. I am a teacher to pastors. The church is in the "falling away" stage before the second coming. I'm not trying to save the world, I'm trying to save those inside the church to be spotless, righteous and holy, and especially those who have a platform to teach a congregation. I was in the church for 30 years before I was filled with the Holy Spirit and can hear God's voice clearly. I also write books.

Then don't call yourself a "reformed" Baptist. That's Calvinism.

 

[Behold]

1.) Grieving the Holy Spirit, is not the unpardonable sin, nor will it cause you to lose your salvation.

The verse says the Spirit can be grieved. It does not teach that the Spirit can be lost or cast out or throw away, etc.

Also, "walking in the spirit" is not to walk around, mind turned off, speaking in a prayer language.

Walking in the Spirit, is to STAY THERE..

Where is it?

Its in your Faith...as when you have correct faith, you have the right MIND, and this is "as many as be perfect".

Having the wrong mind, wrong faith, bad theology, grieves the Holy Spirit.
