ok everyone, I lnow this person does not get it (we can pray)
The postor says this is a foolish thing, this is not a one time event, you must EARN the right to get these things, When God says otherwise, He calls jesus a liar. Lets all pray he wakes up, and finds Gods truth. Because there is hope for us all.
EG -
You cannot accept I both get it and am not saying what you claim I am saying.
Why do you build straw men and then burn them? Why do you lie about what I write?
Now we have to stay in faith with Christ, abide in Him.
When you are growing in your mothers womb, can you leave and stay alive?
Is this growth a one off event, you are conceived and you are a fully grown human?
No you have to abide in your mother until the right time and be born.
You must then stay with the family under their protection until you grow old enough
to be mature.
And you are saying Jesus does not tell us these things?
I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
John 15:5
You are my friends if you do what I command.
John 15:14
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Matt 7:24
Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Gal 6:8
Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
James 3:8
Our walk is a walk of many events, much testing and proving the foundation of
life in our hearts as it grows and develops.
Now easy believism followers think they have it all by going through a special event,
and they have arrived.
It is like thinking that winning the world championships in the 100 meters is just turning
up to one race and running it. That is all you need to do.
If we are talking adding a bauble of religion on to your activities, that is exactly what
religion and token faith is, but walking with Jesus is entering eternity and growing in
the Kingdom of the Living God.
Now some will stay in their delusion, imagining the painting themselves with some group
allegiance is entering heaven, but the testimony of both their behaviour and confession
of sin which does not change day in day out, shows the level of victory or not they
actually have.
It is like an alcoholic saying they are now completely dry, except for the drink they have
in the morning, afternoon and night, every day of every year since they can remember.
And they will weep and moan at this struggle, and say they are just being honest, and
everyone else is just like them, yet they are falling apart and dying while they speak.
Paul describes the walk of a believer like this
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Cor 3:18
Are you living in the glory of Christ, rejoicing at His blessing of your life as you walk
in His ways or are you needing fellowship and being lifted up, to have a helping hand
in your life?
It is in Christ we have the victory
