This is what I was talking about earlier about their words exposing their errors, sometimes ever so subtle. I have heard this mentioned by several others of the hyper grace followers, it's like a recorded message without knowledge of how the Holy Spirit works. They say things like
"we have to realize our identity" or "
we have to understand our identity" or "
we need to know our place in Christ" or "
we have to renew our minds".
It is like "they" think they can take thought and renew their own minds. Or "they" can imagine themselves as righteous in Christ, even though they are wretched, miserable, and naked.
People, you did not give birth to yourself the first time, and you cannot take thought and give birth to yourself a second time and renew your own mind and declare yourself righteous! Proclaiming yourself as righteous is "self" righteousness.
Here is what is written, and notice there is no mention of us, that is "we" "ourselves" renewing our own mind.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed
by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ephesians 4:23
And
be renewed in
the spirit of your mind;
This renewing of the mind only happens when a person is born again from above by the Holy Spirit, this "we" cannot perform "ourselves".
