1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2*That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God."
Romans 8:14 clearly states that only those that walk in and are LED by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. How on earth do you tell yourself that you are being led by the Holy Spirit of God while committing a sin??
If you'd read my post on the previous page, you'd know I'm not preaching this whack "sinless perfection" that you accuse me of. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ I am proclaiming the hope of Glory which is Christ in me and you try to quench the fire and passion that burns inside me and accuse me of heresy, the fiery passion within me is the Lord Jesus Christ the hope of glory, pure and unquenchable.

All the works of the flesh will cause destruction of some sort to all of us and we will fail to experience the life of God that is already within us in the new creation - including slander.
I say "sinless perfection in the flesh" is where one never give in to the works of the flesh which is obviously not true at all. Knowing the difference between "sin" and "sinning" in Romans 6 & 7 will answer those questions for you. I have posted this link a few times.
So, you tell me how you can be a son of God and still slander others? All believers that are a child of God are being led by the Holy Spirit - because they are sons. Whether they can hear the Spirit is a different story but they are still sons because they have been born again of Him..
I am not trying to stop your passion for the Lord - that's ridiculous. I believe you have a part of the meaning in Romans 6 & 7 but your "application" of it is not correct. To believe that you will never again give in to any work of the flesh is foolishness as has been show that indeed is not the case.
We are to walk by the Spirit so that we don't do the lusts of the flesh. Religion gets it backwards - don't do the lusts of the flesh and then you will be walking by the Spirit.
