1 Corinthians 3
11For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

amen we walk in victory over the flesh, "we crucify the flesh" by following the spirit its the only possibility, is us following the spirit
I think this is the problem with grace versus legalism..

The disciples followed Jesus until their new birth and Spirit baptism. Then? They became one with the Spirit of God. As Grace 7 has repeatedly said...it's our identity that is different. Our spirit has become alive in Jesus which was formerly separate from God.

So what needs to change? Our actions? Or our mind? Wouldn't you think that our thinking is what will control our actions?

Not picking on you follow...I've grown quite fond of you.

Ariel, for your consideration:

Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, [SUP]2 [/SUP]of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. [SUP]3 [/SUP]And this we will[SUP][a][/SUP] do if God permits.

So, the inner man in Christ created in righteousness and holiness
cannot sin - not even once. Sin done in the flesh does not affect the inner man in Christ.
I knew I wasn't the only one. Amen brother!

Nonsense Jason - you just don't like what is being preached about the saving grace and love of God and your church teachings are making you blind to what the gospel of the grace of God in Christ has really done for us. I encourage you to ask the Lord about it. He will be faithful to you.
Nonsense! Telling people you don't even know what they don't like!

Nonsense! Telling this man it's his church's fault for making him spiritually blind!

How dare you use such malice & slander, first slandering the brother, then slandering his church?!?

Who gave you authority to judge such matters?!?

Are you so self-righteous that you think you can judge a stranger & his church?!?

I see a good thread and then the SINLESS one pushing his SINLESS rhetoric.....so, Chris....do you keep the law 100% of the time 24/7/365 days a year...YES or NO, Do you 100% of the time DO everything that the scriptures require to maintain a SINLESS state...YES or NO.....??
Do you remain pure & perfect when you judge members of CC to hell because you think they're "works-salvationists?

gb9 said:
and who is saying that it is fine to persist in deliberate sin?? who is saying that is o.k. ??

I wish you guys would post some actual proof of these things you constantly keep saying that others say, or just stop saying it.
These posters are saying that those who hold to salvation as being eternal and that God will secure the believer somehow also believe it is okay to sin:

Chris1975 alludes to it in Post #34

MattforJesus says it in post #62 – followjesus agreed with MfJ in post #65

samuel23 in post #64

Roughsoul1991 in post #123, Post #147


However, I have not seen anyone on the eternal salvation side saying this. In fact, I see wholehearted agreement on both sides that sin is not okay for the born again believer (or for those who are not born again yet for that matter).

When there is the continual rhetoric that those who believe in God to work out the salvation of the believer (just as He promises to do) are giving license to sin, it reminds me of this section of Scripture:

Romans 3:8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come?

There were some who followed Paul around and told people Paul taught "Let us do evil, that good may come".

Did Paul teach that? No!

Did people claim Paul taught that? Yes!

So, I am in agreement with you, gb9, that those who claim we are saying it is okay to sin should provide proof of who is saying that. Provide the post which corroborates the claim.

Because from what I have seen on numerous threads, it is only those who believe salvation may be lost who are the ones saying that. However, they are not saying it is okay to sin. They are saying that we're saying it's okay to sin.

This is why we should check the entire chapter. For it speaks of our freedom from bondage, adoption/sonship, and confirmation also of God's everlasting love for us, that NOTHING can separate us from His love.

Romans 8:15-17: "For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him (confirmation), that we may also be glorified together (confirmation also)" - because as children we will suffer but we will also be glorified. Confirmation of both happening to a child of God.

V11: "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you"

V28-30: Confirmation of future completion (glorification)

Only drawing attention to these, so I don't take over Bruce's thread.
John 3:16, "For God so loved the world ". Can't be separated from His love, but CAN be separated from HIM.

Everyone that lives in sin is separated from God in the end.

If you ignore a few scriptures, twist things slightly here and there you end up with
the HG faith. It has the same form and words but a different walk and meaning.
Yeah, HG has a "form" of godliness, but denies it's power. Understood. :)

and if you pluck verses out of context, leave out parts of verses when you quote them, change the meaning to suit you, then you come up with a load of garbage. which is what you do every day.
Wrong guy. That's G777.

Exactly, when they start claiming this... you know they have been indoctrinated by false grace teachers who do not understand God's Word because they are part of that group "Cherry Pickers R Us"
amen, but theres more to it bro, in my hunmble opinion. rather than assume a person is a bad guy and teaching a false doctrine, its important to Know whether they are growing out of the false doctrine that maybe has them deceived. Bruce, g777 actually does have some good things to say , to me, its Just that the good things He says are negated because they direct away from the truth of the context. theres a big differencs to me anyways in these two statements

" God is good, he has forgiven our sins, He has shed His grace through the Lord Jesus Christ who suffered and died for our sins...Hallelujah!!"

and " God is so good, we dont need to hear and obey His word, salvation is by grace the end, we can never be held accountable for our sins, and the 4 gospels are the law of moses, we need to divide the things He said, and only believe the things that sound good to our ears"

i for one cant determinem though lately its appearing to me that its intentional. i cant say its my place to speak and say He is a false teacher, or whether He is just coming to some deeper truth slowly. He and i have had alot of conversation and He has actually moved more towards the truth than a year ago. which is what all of us are doing no matter How sound we think we are, Gods word will always reveal that we still need to grow and learn more, He is good because he will reveal things as we are able to handle them.

im not at all judging g7, im sincerely and have for more than a year trying toi get Him to see that theres a difference in saying Grace cancels out the gospel, and saying Grace is a very important part of the gospel, but there is also the truth that works with Grace to bring salvation and teach us how to Live upright Lives.

im not at all in any way attacking Him or saying hes a false teacher, sincerely want to understand him. for instance, when He is talking about the new creation, thats biblical stuff and true. when Hes saying other things theres also truth in some of them, my concern is that its avoiding things that are essential, and actually aiming to teach things totally unbiblical such as " Jesus taught the mosaic Law 2.0 and His words will destroy your lives if you put effort into following them" im not sure if its ignorance to the truth or opposition to it knowingly, I suppose God Knows.

I would Love to see Him make some adjustments based on scripture that is clearly there in pauls letters as well as the grace belief, because He does have some good value in areas i just want to see Him let go of the omission part and directing people away from the gospel to be more effective. rather than share teachings of the popular worldly understanding of grace, id Love to see Him go with the Gospel. anyways God bless and keep you in all things Jesus Christ.

I have told you this many times but I will again as maybe it will help a reader of the thread. Jesus taught the law of Moses 2.0 and elevated it to those who were depending on the law of Moses for life and living in order to expose their need for a Savior.

Jesus taught the grace and love of God to those that knew they needed Him. Jesus was the greatest law of Moses teacher and well as the greatest grace teacher. It all depended on whom He was talking to at the time and for what purpose. Don't take someone else's medicine.
"At the time" refers to this HG doctrine that G777 believes in, that every single teaching of Jesus before His death on the cross is OT, & we don't obey it because it's OT.

Gee, G777, I woulda thought you would tell them this to clarify that statement.

You know, there is an answer for everything in scripture. This is what is lazy..

~Heb 6:12  Then, instead of being lazy, you will imitate those who are inheriting the promises through faith and patience.

our mind doesnt change unless we Go to the gospel of Gods Kingdom. its actually what puts to death the actions, through the changing of the heart where sin is rooted in every man " the law of sin within our members" as i have said earlier, he does have good things to say, but he also negates very important things and perceives them as a bad thing, actually teaches people things that are not at all correct.

lol nawim not a thin skinned person bro, i havent fekt picked on ever so no worries there, i have had rocks thrown at me litterally because of the gospel, so disagreements on a christian forum kinda slide right off, ive been trying recently to be much more aware that others arent that way and easily take offense.

theres a difference in an imaginary new creation, and what the gospel creates in us prpared and zealous for good works, rather than teaching that good works are a bad thing. God bless you though either way

There is no salvation apart from grace. Use care not to allow "hyper-grace" so called to negate the grace of God that saves men from their sins.

What was the first sin?
What the consequences of the first sin?
When that happened what plan was put in place?

Was that plan exacted?
If so how so?
What are the consequences of buying into that plan?

this may sound a bit cryptic but maybe it's not.

Lets ta go back to the start and look to the end.

***

What you need to know is what does it mean to have a foundation in Christ.
a foundation of Christ

matthew 7: 24-27 "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

this is what paul is saying about the foundation no one else can lay. its why paul taught this as well

1 timothy 6:3-5 "If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

why John taught this

2 john 1:9 "Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

all because of the many , many things Jesus taught about hearing His word and keeping them, doing them and why Jesus kept repeating " My words are not my own, they Belong to the one who sent Me"

things like this
john 7:16-17 "Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

and this

john 14:23-24" Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

now consider 2 john 1:9, and 1 timothy 6:3....and really its this way with all of the apostles teachings they each and all come from what Jesus taught them, and none were ever teaching people to not have the foundation of the gospel according to Jesus Christ because thats the only foundation God has or will ever Give. a common misconception, is that churches were founded on pauls few epistles, those were letters He sent back to churches to correct belief and behavior he heard of after leaving them, he had never even been to the church at rome, when He wrote romans. those epistles are not the foundation of anything, the church is only founded upon Jesus and His gospel of Grace and truth.
