Counterfeit Christianity

. "Now I say this brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither can corruption inherit incorruption" 1 Corinthians 15:50.

Indeed to your scripture above....that’s why we need to be Born Again.

Before you can see the Kingdom of God.

One must be BORN OF GOD....NOT of man...Born Again/ Spirit gives birth to spirit.


[5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

All that are born again receive the Holy Spirit, who is also the Spirit of truth.

The work of the Holy Spirit is to convict of sin. This is why John said, "If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us" 1 John 1:8.

If you think that you are without sin, you are deceiving yourself and you don't have the truth.

A Born Again is under God’s Grace....now, like Pearl, I am going to walk away, because imho..you are in ignorance of what it means to be Born of God...just being honest....bye..bye..

Being born again does not make one holy and without sin.

Paul didn't really know what a terrible sinner that he was until he received the Holy Spirit. Romans 7:17-25.

 

[St. SteVen]

You apparently are not able to discern the spiritual from the physical.

That saw cuts both ways.

Not really. The teeth on a saw are designed to cut one way.

Only on a two man cross cut saw. There is really only one way to believe and have faith.

When we are Born Again....we are under grace.....we are clothed in the righteousness of Christ, therefore we right before God and he sees our sins no more.

The true children of God, have their sins hidden in Christ....

Clothed in Righteousness (Ephesians 4:25-5:2)​

Online commentary.


Jesus is in heaven with the Father. Yet we are told in Colossians 3:3 that our life is “hidden with Christ in God.” How can our life be hidden with Jesus in heaven, whilst we carry on living here on the earth? Moreover, believers are hidden in Jesus Himself. We are in Him and He is in us (1 John 4:13). We are united with Him by the Spirit He has given to us. What does all of this mean?

A New Life​

Followers of Jesus are given a new life in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). We become united to Jesus in His death and resurrection. Those desires that we used to have for earthly things are weakened as we set our minds on heavenly things (Colossians 3:2). The following verse (Colossians 3:3) says that “you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” Our old, sinful nature was crucified with Jesus on the cross.

Romans 6:6 says “We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.” If we belong to Jesus, we have “crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (Galatians 5:24). We begin to walk in step with the Holy Spirit at work in us (Galatians 5:16-18).

As our new life begins by the power of the Spirit working inside of us, we will look at the world around us differently. In turn, others may look at us differently too. Those who do not yet know Jesus may wonder why our life is different. They may see the love and grace of God at work in us and want to know more.


Hallelujah!!! Hallelujah!!! Hallelujah!!!. ANEN!!!!
