I'm going to guess by saying, you've been taught that doctrine by your church and/or pastor, right? Yes, it is simple and easy to understand, unfortunately it's not scripturally accurate or biblically true. I'm sure, like you, this doctrine was hammered into my thinking for years, until I sought...

Salvation does not take place because of anyone's repentance of sin, but because of their repentance of doubting the word of God, by believing the gospel, and acting on that belief to receive Jesus/the truth, personally,

Question. No offense intended, but if he's lost and you call him bro, short for brother, what does that make you? I too question many people's salvation here on CC, because they failed to see some of the simplest of doctrines, such as WOF. And I believe this in part because of what Jesus said...

Even as Jesus could do nothing without the Father, neither can we do any works of God without Jesus. Joh 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. Joh 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of...

But as I said, it doesn't matter what one believes, even the demons believe those things to no avail. Until one acts on that which they believe in their heart, nothing will happen. Faith without a corresponding work is without power and effect.

What about, 2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. ? Isn't that written to the believers in Christ? I have another scripture of question. The bible says, both Jesus and the word of God are the power of God. Both of which are said...

That is the question. So you do believe we have been given some power from God, whatever that may entail and however small it may be. God said both DEATH and life is in the power of OUR TONGUE. Is it therefore the will of God for us to use His power to cause death and/or destruction?

The bible says, they would receive power AFTER the Holy Ghost comes on them. Was that referring to being filled with the Spirit or simply being born again? Specifically, what power have we received? What can we do with this so called power?

Jesus as Lord of your life, and that God raised him from the dead, like it is written.

One corresponding work for a specific belief. Speaking what one believes in their heart, would be an example of a corresponding work for a specific belief.

Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Do we have the same Spirit they received?

Answer, NO. It doesn't matter what you believe. If it doesn't become personal for the personal AND ACTED ON, nothing will happen.

Luk 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. Luk 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Luk 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the...

Other translations of vs 22 say, "Have the faith of God" or "Let the faith of God be in you". Even as our righteousness is not our own, neither is our faith. It is of and from God. Vs 22 is basically about Jesus telling Peter, "This is how you use the faith of God. This is what I did to kill...

Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. You either haven't read the above verse, failed to see it, didn't understand it, didn't think it was meant for you, ignored it, or didn't believe what it said...

That would be me. I am of the name it claim it crowd. If it wasn't preached by Jesus and Paul, I wouldn't believe it. But it is a truth of God and I certainly am not ashamed to say I am one of them who not only believe it, but know it, and because I have experienced it first hand, many times...

I hate to break this to you sir, but many here on CC consider me a heretic. One who teaches false doctrines and lies of the devil. One who twists scripture to make it say what I believe. None of that bothers me, because I know different. I know me, and what I am like, and if my conscience is...

Even though I tell people, faith is having a confident assurance, that what we ask for will manifest, I don't actually see it that way. I tell them that because that is what they understand it to be. Which is what I use to think as well. I believe the KJV interpreted Hebrews 11:1 correctly, in...

"I'm not advocating bypassing God's will. We should pray IN LINE with God's will BY PRAYING ACCORDING TO HIS WORD." The above statement is a direct quote from my post you replied to. You misunderstood what I was saying. I'm not against knowing and praying for the will of God to be done, I'm for...

Faith is not just of and from God, as you pointed out, but it is a spirit of and from God. It is one of the gifts given to us. And because it is given to us, we call it our own, but it came from and is of God. According to the law of genesis, everything produces after their own kind. At least...
