Speaking about logic :

If grace through faith
was only for Paul and friends then it is also not for you.
Grace is for those whom GOD decides to give it. If someone gets the same grace as Paul or His friends had....then so be it.

The problem we face in the modern church context is the namers and claimers who are indoctrinated into thinking they have something they don't have. Literally claiming to have something they will say they don't have.

Fake it till you make it may work in human affairs. But God HATES a false witness.

For those who want to remain honest.... my threads are meant to be understood in the context of the WHOLE counsel of God.

If we look at the bible as a whole we discover that Jesus is never mentioned by name in the OT. Does that mean He is not there? Of course not. I see Jesus everywhere in the OT...just not by the name "Jesus". Those who say, dishonestly, that my teaching is not in the bible are no different than those who say that Jesus can't be the Messiah because He's not in the bible until He appears in the NT.

Take that same open minded discernment to SEE that Jesus is all over the OT...and now look at what I'm presenting from that perspective....clarifying the verses to show the depth and meaning of things that are not readily understood.

THEN, a person can remain honest...without saying one thing and doing another. Without hypocrisy.

I know that people don't know the bible very well...but teaching forces people to look at the bible in a way they never saw. Be Bereans not Pharisees...and you will get it.

And so you are not (can not be) sure God has given you grace?

You are full of surprises.
I know more than anybody that God has given me grace. But I also know the deep judgments of God that most will only know on judgment day. That's what qualifies me to warn others. I'm like a spy or a watchman that cries out when God's people are in danger. Only the wise will listen.

Efez 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

So by grace Paul and friends and YOU have been saved through faith, the rest of us not.

Do you realize what you claim here and in other posts, a prophet sent by God speaking with full authority in His name.

In his first letter to the church of Corinth Paul twice said to the congregation : you are bought with a price.

Also only for Paul and friends?

And you of course.

We are ALL bought with a price. Jesus purchased back the WORLD (and the church) with His own blood. That is NOT exclusive to believers.

Jesus paid for those who obey Him whether they know Him or not.

Being saved now is about being translated into heaven to walk where Jesus is, like Paul and his friends and yes, like I did. I have a testimony of Christ.

Inheriting life is based on MERCY for the righteous. You won't understand this verse but it shows both MERCY and TRUTH....for the righteous (Abraham) and for the saints (Jacob)

"Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old" Mic. 7:20
