The more we alllow Him to purify us now, the less loss we shall suffer at the final purification.

in the scripture our works at the bema seat of christ is judged by the fire
really the scriptures are our authority ..what else is there to go by ?
its only contradictory to you. one is a judgment of works by fire ..the other is the refiners fire we have to allow the dross to be took out by the holyspiritHow do you reconcile these two contradictory statements?
ok then with your 20 years on the forum what is our authority >? readers digest ? national geographic ?I wish I had a $ over my 20 years of Forum life..for every time I see a person write the above. LOL
What it always means is...'according to how I interpret the bible.'
...and...everyone has their own interpretation...and everyone believe that "they are in the right" and the other person is wrong.
That quote of yours is worthless in any discussion.
And so is the game so often played like a cheap party game-
" I can out-scripture you.."

Partially true. When scripture is our highest/final authority we simply mean that we test all things by it; 1 Thess 5. Also when interpreting the bible we should do it in a way where we don't contradict any other part of the bible. Catholics, mormons, jw's have doctrines that contradict scripture all over the place, but they all also have other things equal to the bibleI wish I had a $ over my 20 years of Forum life..for every time I see a person write the above.

Its not worthless. The bible is God breathed. Having that as your highest standard is never worthless. Also i'm not out to 'out scripture' anyone. I want to look at things in context. When there is a difference in major doctrine then someone is right and someone is wrong. Its not my job to convince anyone. Thats the Holy Spirits job. Our job is to share the gospel and defend the faith.That quote of yours is worthless in any discussion.

well then do a study on the bema seat judgement of worksI don't understand. How is 'a judgement of works by fire', not a purification?
maybe but when a person says the Bible is not the only authority they are in error . the are certain Bible doctrines i will not change on .. the bema seat if those who are opposed to it. want to make it into purgatory which is a myth .then i will stand up to it . if one opposes then show why you oppose it using scripture in context . they call it apologetics defenseOur God IS a consuming Fire.

And the fire shall try every man‘s work - It is the property of fire to test the qualities of objects. Thus, gold and silver, so far from being destroyed by fire, are purified from dross.
we are purified while living ..not so dumb out of this world doctrine purgatory..there is no purification process after death .. follow the blind catholic teaching all you wantHolding to such while vehemently insisting that catholics are wrong to assert such is disingenuous.

That is, as fire would consume the wood, hay, and stubble, so on the great Day everything that is erroneous and imperfect in Christiana shall be removed, and that which is true and genuine shall be preserved as if it had passed through fire. Their whole character and opinions shall be investigated; and that which is good shall be approved; and that which is false and erroneous be removed.
