I have no Doctrine for that is Dogma to me and causes force to others and so i see Romans 14 as much deeper than food alone, anyway, love the fact that you do beleive, not necessarily the same as what I see that has set me free, as you are free as well right? you are free from bondage right?
You really do not need anyone elses approval, when you are approved do you?
I think not, for either you will approve of me or you won't. It really is not an issue with me for anoyne else to approive of me or not when God:
Ephesians 1:6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
accepted is the same as approved, so if you are then you are right? Why would one need anyone elses approval? did Jesus ever preach to be approved one of the other, or approved, accepted in the beloved by his work, not ours true or false?
Yes and then see the next verse please what does it say? And what is repent? Is it I have to stop sin, or I need to beleive with no doubt? did Chirst do it all for us as Col 1:22 says he did, and why for what purpose?
Their is a communicating lapse here I see, As you just agreed with me about repent. I went from unbelieving to believing, period in less that 60 seconds, the mystery of the Gospel by Faith (belief) in Christ we are delivered to Father for the new life Father gives in the resurrected Christ in Spirit and truth, by Belief no doubts. Doubt is what started the mess to begin with back at the Garden, maybe, what do you think? You decide you are of free will as well to make the decision how deep is daddy's love through Son to you?
1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
[h=3]Ephesians 3:16-18[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP]that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; [SUP]17 [/SUP]that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, [SUP]18 [/SUP]may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
[h=3]Romans 14:17-19[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP]For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Grace is a period in time when humanity can come to God and directly ask for forgiveness of sins. This period was given to all humanity, with Israel being included. It is a gift that only God can give, since the One who humanity has sinned against is Him. Grace is the opportunity for mankind to not only be forgiven of their sins, but also a time when humanity can experience living in this reality with the guidance of a force that is beyond our imagination, and all it takes is but a little faith.
Faith is living out what you believe. By faith, we will see the workings of God, not just in the past, but also in the present.

GRACE - God's Riches At Christ's Expense.
Like everyone said here,you cannot earn it..its freely given.
However its only available in the Narrow Path to Heaven Jesus said.So when we walks in that Path you could fall into the wide road to hell.So you have to turn back to the Narrow path to be Reconciled through Repentance.In long term we sway less and take pace in the Narrow Path With Abundance of Grace to The Eternal Glory of God.Its all possible when we condemn others less and focus on correcting us more.
Yet we read this...
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

according to the title on this thread, it is incorrect
we are not saved by grace alone
there is no Bible text that says that
it is a twisting of the Bible
one of the 12 twisting grace verses that if used together make people think
they can keep right on sinning and still go to heaven
this is not Biblical and is warned about by Paul and James

Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved
this is true
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
this is tru also
1 + 1 = 2
so saying by grace alone is untrue

and what is FAITH?
FAith is believing every word in the Bible so much that you do all of it
that is what faith is
so by grace, following all the bible
that is how you are saved.
grace comes only by the blood of Jesus paid for our sins
so salvation is through Jesus blood alone by his grace THROUGH BIBLE STUDY BELIEFE AND FOLLOWING JESUS WORD
that is the true gospel;
FAITH without Jesus works in you is dead
so
by grace
through faith
with works of Jesus
there is sanctification

When you hear the truth,you know that it is right(that inner witness) and you naturally want to(repent) change the direction that you were going and come to the truth(preaching of the cross.)
GOD chose the preaching of the cross and it would be foolishness to those that are perishing,but to those being saved,its the power of GOD unto salvation to them that believe.
Actually sir, I wasn't agreeing with you, as it was you who misunderstood what I was saying.
You asked if repentance was changing from doubt to believing, and I said that it wasn't, and that I was just talking about a particular verse in the bible as to what it was saying. This is just one thing we can repent of, but it is not what repentance is. You can repent or turn from just about anything.
"No sir. Repent means to be sorry for and to turn the other way from, whatever you are sorry for. I was just responding to the scripture verse that was being used.
The scripture that was used was, "Repent ye, and believe the Gospel' (Mark 1.15).
It means, to turn from doubting the gospel to believing it. It is not saying to repent of your dead works and believe the gospel. The problem with repentance to receive salvation, is that it would negate or supersede all the other verses that say contrary."
Agreed, and so how is that accomplished or is it already in Christ accomplished, once one steps out of Adam and into Christ?
Love is the greatest of all to all, from God through Son right?
Will all men approve? did all approve Jesus? there is a reality that verses emotions. If one's emotions are in the lead of that one's life is that one's life a mess?
do you see what is said here about the thief that comes to steal, kill and destroy? One's feelings being led by them overrides reality
Thank you
Luke 7:50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
Romans 10:10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Key words, Work out our OWN salvation in fear and trembling and come to see God's unfathomable love to not take for granted, while being forgiven back at the cross of Christ, where the last shedding of blood took place, for all sin, done why?
Now work that out between God and you. now just listen and hear and ask God for all, you hear to see truth beyond error that this world is steeped in, so incredibly, that Christ had to come here in an earth suit to redeem us.
2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2 Corinthians 5:19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
