"However, don't rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

As christians, we shouldn't be carried away by the doing of miracles (cast out devils...) at the point of neglecting our personal relationship with God, our salvation. For the casting out of devil ... is not necessarily proof of righteousness and does not guarantee eternal life.

Exactly what the not by works thread is about, because we are DOING works doesn't mean or doesn't totally mean we would be saved. Hence works has nothing to do with our salvation unlike what some people we are not about to talk about said.

I have been to that place not by works. A lot of confusion going on there. I hate to argue about the word of God, so I avoid that. We could discuss to learn rather than arguing to win. Everybody thinks they are right & everyone else is wrong.
One thing that saves is accepting Christ in ones life as His personal Lord and saviour, when u do this you become born again, old things are past away, everything has become new. One does not need to do any works to earn this. This is what Apostle Paul means by being saved by grace and not by works. We didn't merit it, yet Christ did it for us, He took our place
Now you GO AND SIN NO MORE. If one continues LIVING IN SIN after receving Christ they lose their salvation.
They become dead again

I'm happy to report that little Fontina gained 8 grams overnight. Aura gained only 1 gram overnight, but she's a fighter. :) And Ribsy gained 5 grams overnight. Keep these little ones in prayer. :)

You are correct in saying that there are those in that thread that take pleasure in trying to prove that they are right and that others are wrong. What's the point even if you are proved right if proving it hurts others. That is not spiritually edifying. As for myself, I would rather be happy than proved to be right. It is not worth it to me if proving I'm right hurts someone else. I'm not out to prove anything to anyone but would rather let the Holy Spirit give discernment whether what someone says is truthfully aligned with the Word of God.

It's a pleasure to have you here. It may take a little while for you to ketchup. That's our term that means you catch up on what's been going on. We speak our own kind of language here and have our own peculiar vehicular. I am sure that you know that the correct word is vernacular but what would be the fun in that? It's in our lexicon. There's a lot you mustard learn. :)

Good morning peeps. I see tourist, blue and Josie and a bunch of visitors. Welcome to our peculiar "nothing particular" thread. I think you'll find us sane but strange. ErnestQ, I am writing Christian books. What else would I write about. You do what you love.

The first book is about morals and interactions between governments, communities and individuals. Other stuff is covered and of course, both books are non-fiction. The one I am working on now is about prophecy.
