After the Gifts....nothing done to be count toward them, What are your Works.

God gave the Word, the Word was heard, and through Grace, Faith I now have. Gifts from Our Heavenly Father. Then through knowledge preached, accepted, I am a sinner. Without God there is no life, I need to be closer, I want to be more like Him, I break down. I repent, ask forgiveness, and I am forgiven. I, announce to the world, I will be baptized, my official walk will begin. My Lord and Savior will be the leader and inspiration of my live, I shall strive to be like him in spirit, word and deed. So I am baptized, down under the water I go, and to death with the carnal mind and all its earthly prideful ways leading me, and rising up to the spiritually acknowldeged and led one, fruits of the spirit proclaiming my successes to be recognized by the world, I am born of a new spirit, I am new Christian, taking my first steps toward the day that I am spreading the good news. I have been saved, Salvation gifted, justified by Jesus, and in new nature sanctification and sanctification begun. Salvation, a most precious gift, given and accepted. Salvation mine.

God promises claimed, who am I and where do I go from here? God wants my love. How do I show my love? How do I walk in the spirit? How do I discern good from evil? What should I do?

A long road ahead. I start, I throw out Alpha and fall all the way down to the open hands of the Lord. Pride looks at me, I'LL BE BACK. Yet with God I can do anything and I have been truly blessed.

What do you do once you have received the Gifts? Please note, Gifts have already been put into the proper perspective of" NOTHING A MAN DOES COUNTS TOWARDS THOSE GIFTS" Respect God, respect Christian Chat, respect the thread. Please and Thank you

First of all welcome to Christian chat. Secondly, what exactly is your question and please be specific.

IN GOD THE SON,

Welcome to CC.

Like Yoda's, your words are.

everyone sit down at your desk with a straight back

don't cross your legs and swallow your gum

this is a test and no one but yourself to blame if you have not studied for it

failures will go straight to the principal's office, no exceptions and Richard? is that a smirk?

Learn about the ministry of reconciliation. When you graduate, go out on the streets, and teach it and the gifts will accompany.

Why are you unsure about your Spiritual condition? If you died tonight where would you wake in the morning?

For the cause of Christ
Roger

Not entirely sure what the OP is about but regardless, glad to have you onboard. Welcome to CC.

What steps have you made, and what ones have proved best for you? Once baptized, how hove you moved forward? Any books, chapters or verses stick out you would recommend to a new Christian save study?

Exercise them.

Welcome to CC and if you have other questions, please ask by all means.

What specific things did you do to stay on the path? Are there events or situations where you say, I am better than I once was, thank you God, and you attribute that to __________________?

Could you explain?

How? How do you?

Please read Romans 12. As to myself personally, I do what I have to as led by the Spirit.

The Ministry of Reconciliation

2Co 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

2Co 5:12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.

2Co 5:13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

2Co 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

2Co 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

2Co 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

2Co 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;

2Co 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.

2Co 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.

2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

This is what Jesus has done for all at the Cross. No one is left out. But, it’s of no use if others don’t hear it and accept it.

I never heard this from the pulpit or from anyone. This is enough to realize that God is love and loves us all.

If you know this and take this truth to the streets, God will be with you and you will move in His anointing.

So you have the baptism of Holy Spirit and accompanying gifts? It’s needful.

It’s the anointing that destroys the yoke.

Welcome to cc! Blessings you find love and fellowship here!

Hi! I would say to you as a new born babe,desire the sincere milk in the word of God! No other books written by man but not inspired by the Holy Spirit will help! Start slow with easy to digest scripture,Psalms describes the relation to God,as David was a man after God's own heart. Then proverbs describes our relations to man thru wisdom,understanding and knowledge! Be sure you read the four gospels for in them JESUS teaches us how to walk in Him! Please remember your most precious time in the Lord is thru being intimate with Him in prayer,listen also when praying He speaks back! Allow the Holy Spirit to be your guide in the word and thru conviction as you grow,take NO MAN'S WORDS TO CONFORM YOU, ONLY HIS! As you grow He can lead you to study helps that will establish your walk! Blessings in love!
