Standing IS a Confirmation.
One is either WITH God or AGAINST God.
There is no "half way", "kind of" standing.
It is "ALL" or "NOTHING".

And one has to DECIDE, first, WHO their God IS.

LORD God the Father, Lord God the Son, Power God the Holy Spirit, Allah, Buddha, Saten, the Moon, Aliens, Animals, Mystical Creatures, Themsleves....whatever the individual Chooses, to Believe IS their God.

ANY person in the INTERIM LEARNING ABOUT any particular 'thing' they may choose AS their God, IS NOT A CONFIRMED STANDING.

A Confirmend STANDING; "IS" an AGREEMENT BETWEEN the individual AND "THEIR" chosen God.

HOW TO Confirm a STANDING between an individual and his chosen God, is Established "by" the "TERMS" of the God Himself.

And the RESULT of an AGREEMENT between an Individual and his Chosen God,
VARIES. And the Varibles are SET, "BY THE TERMS" of the Agreement.

Which IS precisely WHY, an individual has an INTERIM TO LEARN ABOUT the Different "gods"....BEFORE" he Chooses, TO COMMIT to a STANDING WITH their god.

So WHOM IS your God ?
And HAVE you COMMITTED to STANDING WITH your God....according TO your Gods TERMS?

God Bless,

Yes. Those are great scriptures.

But you do not reveal the Terms of HOW one establishes STANDING "WITH" this LORD our God.

John 17:3
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

1 Corinthians 8:6
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

Ephesians 2:4-10

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Romans 8:1-10
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Revelation 14:7

7 Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. (Revelation 14:7)

Trying to under your terminology of Standing...so let me try and write a bit like you would....

I believe all these words from the heart...although words are only so precise..

here a list that comes from my spirit will into my soulish mind

- Standing with God of Abraham, acceptance of new covenant, grace and gift of God for eternal life

- Belief in Jesus by placing faith in who he is, what he did and what he is doing now

- Accept Jesus the Christ for our salvation, to eternal life, to defeat death.

- Knowing he is inside of me now and in the future until the end of the last age

- Faith is based on facts of scripture and the gospel not in fables and philosophies.

- Belief in all scripture, both NT and OT

- Understanding and reassurance of/in scripture, not from personal or majority opinion or renowned men as traditional thinkers

- Positive and life changing experiences in life from God

- Showing the fruit of the spirit more and more

- Knowing faith is growing in the spirit and son of God inside our being

- Continuously seeking and ask for God’s wisdom and knowledge as Jesus possesses.

- Continuously praying to God for his mind that is in Christ, that is designed for us to know.

- Knowing this spiritual lifestyle with God through the spirit of Christ is for all our lives, every day, hour and minute

- It’s a lifetime commitment to favor and use our spiritual will and mind to convince our soulish mind to know God.

Bless you,

APAK

this is how one stand with God is to believe. for a testament is a statement of belief by faith.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:17 "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ONE NEED TO READ THAT AGAIN.

John 3:18 "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 3:19 "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Thank you.

I would say; Speaking specifically OF..
Thee Lord God Almighty...

In the beginning of mankind...we find men being introduced TO...
God....God Almighty.

The TERMS, for one to submit to this God Almighty, was to:
Believe in Him, and agree to Obey His Laws, and agree to DO the Works contained in the Law.

And? At the end of their natural LIFE, "IF" they were a FAITHFUL servant, THEY became accounted as SAVED.

Gods communication with was VIA different methods...visions, hearing a word, an angel, an appearance of a man, effects of His word coming to pass, Etc.

THAT has NOT Changed. Men today can still follow this METHOD that was GIVEN TO the Hebrews and the Jews.

What has CHANGED, Is God revealed HIS WORD, in the likeness as a man, unto men, First specifically TO the Jews, and Gentiles who may have been living among the Jews.

This man, the Word of God, called;
Jesus, Son of God, Messiah, Christ, Lord, Savior, Quickening Spirit, Ever lasting Father, Prince of Peace, mighty God, Power, Light, Redeemer, Holy, Sinless, Teacher, Rabbi, All knowing, Forgiver of Sins, Truth, Life, Way, Born of God, without beginning, without ending, Lord of lords, King of kings, Friend, Comforter, God with us...
....and many other things........

Preaching a revelation that men CAN choose to Believe IN HIM, and subject themselves TO HIM. And the BENEFITS...THE TERMS...HAVE CHANGED....

FOR One choosing to SUBJECT themselves "TO" THE WORD of God, who has come in the Flesh Likeness as a man....

There ARE NO LAWS a man MUST "TRY" to obey.

The CONSEQUENCES for "NOT OBEYING A LAW" have been removed.

There IS NO "WAITING PERIOD" of a mans LIFETIME ending, to receive Salvation.

There IS NO "WAITING PERIOD" of a mans LIFETIME ending, to receive the Seed of God.

There IS NO MORE of a man TRYING on his OWN merits and efforts, to BECOME acceptable and holy unto God.

A man WHO chooses to heartfully SUBMIT Himself "TO" this "Lord Jesus", thee WORD OF GOD...
According to the TERMS....ALL the things the Lord Desires OF this man; IS ACCOMPLISHED BY the INDWELLING Power of God.

According to the TERMS....Such a man, heartfully submitting his own LIFE, to the Word of God, called by the NAME JESUS;

This man FOREVER receives the Lords Gift of Salvation, of a Quickened spirit, of the Lords Keeping, of Sactification, of being made WHOLE and wholly acceptable to the WHOLE of thee ONE Lord God Almighty.

The CONFUSION comes....
WHEN a man, particularly Christians, pay the lip service of claiming they are Submitting their life to the Lord Jesus, but really, really want to Preach and Teach, they are submitting themselves to thee God Almighty; with His rules, His laws, His terms.

Thee God Almighty has His terms and laws specifically given to particular men, Hebrews and Jews.

Thee Lord Jesus has His terms specifically given to Lost Jews and Gentiles.

Any man can CHOOSE to submit to either...
God Almighty or Lord Jesus....and then FOLLOW and ACCEPT the TERMS provided BY each.

Rountinely....NOT the case with MANY self-professed saved and born again Christians.

Stand WITH, God Almighty...and be accomplished IN HIS terms, by your own efforts.
Or
Stand WITH, Lord God Almighty....and be accomplished IN HIS terms, by His power.

God Bless,
