I fail to understand why you have to make every question you ask some kind of Spanish Inquisition kind of thing. You come across as being very hateful... mean spirited.
It's difficult to take you seriously when it appears that the only reason you jump into a conversation is to hammer someone over some nit-picky point.
Amen..I see the true Christian life as His life that is in us being expressed in and through us by His power and strength. As we grow in the grace of Christ - our minds will be renewed to walk out what is already in us in Christ.
I believe that Christ took away the sin of the world and that we believers have eternal forgiveness of sins because it is based on His riches. How rich is God?
Believing in this does not mean we do not obey Christ. It just means that we have seen what Christ did for us in His death and resurrection and perfect completed work as revealed in the gospel of the grace of God which is taught by Paul.
This does not conflict with Jesus' words when you factor in the cross and the subsequent revelation of Christ's work as Jesus revealed to Paul.
Ephesians 1:7 (KJV)
[SUP]7 [/SUP] In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

There is something new to me..what is "tag a building"? I used to play tag but never with a building..come to think of it..if I did - I would have won every game...
Amen.....there is a difference between the scriptures and the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit is a Person and He lives inside us now. He the Comforter, Jesus and the Father are all in us because we are in Christ in some mysterious way. Well we know that those that have been baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit are one with the Lord.
Scriptures talk about the Spirit of grace being with us. The Spirit of Christ too. The Spirit of God..etc..many different terms is seems are used.

It always helps to get scriptures in it's context...if you wanted to extrapolate a meaning other then what is given from the verse then the rules are = believe in Christ's work on the cross and resurrection and to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus our Lord. Then the grace of God will work in us to effect what the Lord has for us in this life. Phil 2:13
2 Timothy 2:4-5 (NASB)
[SUP]4 [/SUP] No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

Yes..I wonder if the 7 spirits are manifestations of the Holy Spirit as Jesus had these on Him of I remember correctly?..never thought about it..have you?
Paul and John also did say that there are many other voices and spirits in the world.
1 Corinthians 14:10 (KJV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP] There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
1 John 4:1 (KJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP] Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Here is the "rule" if one wants to call it that - for "doing" the work of God. Do we do the work of God by our own flesh or does believing in what Christ has done for us bring about an exchanged life which manifests in bearing His fruit.
What is the "doing"..it is obviously God's work which we participate in when we have our minds renewed to the truth of who we are in Christ. His life flows through and in us which transforms us. 2 Cor. 3:17-18
John 6:28-29 (NASB)
[SUP]28 [/SUP] Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?"
[SUP]29 [/SUP] Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."

I cant wait to hear this one......avoidance of the truth number 88....and .....go
