The passage itself: (Mat 7:15) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Mat 7:16) Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? (Mat 7:17) Even so every good tree bringeth forth good...

Of course not.. Devil's don't and can't entrust their salvation with Jesus Christ!

Filling.. is different to indwelling. This is again being empowered. When the believers spirit is more yielded to the Holy Spirit.. they are more filled. Put these Acts verses alongside Romans 10 and John chapter 3.

Well.. the disciples were empowered at Pentecost.. but was this indwelling? The passage has the Holy Spirit as a rushing wind that came 'upon' them. This is quite different to 'believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall receive everlasting life .. all through the book of John. John 3:16...

The will of the Father is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. That all may believe on Him

The people whose 'by their fruits you shall know them' in this passage, by context, are false prophets! The passage is about identifying false prophets. Not Christians in general.

Faith without works is dead in James 2 has context of people who are using faith they already have. Abraham, Rahab both did acts out of having been converted by God much earlier. So the works they show.. aren't hooked onto their eternal salvation. They are a right response to having been...

I do.. but the fact remains the context leading up to Hebrews 6 is of believers who are being admonished to go on to maturity. So whether Hebrew or Jew.. they were babes in Christ.

Yes.. Hebrew believers, going back to old ways.. the sacrifices etc.. treating Jesus' one sacrifice as something to be trodden under foot. Hebrews 10 shows this also with there being 'no more sacrifice for sins'. This sacrifice is animal sacrifice.

Another scripture that people often come to the wrong conclusion on is in Hebrews 6, (Heb 6:4) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, (Heb 6:5) And have tasted the good word of God, and the...

Yeah there is other application of the verse in Matthew 18. Such as the Holy Spirit being 'in the midst' of the congregation at a church service. But the primary application isn't christians gathered anywhere for any purpose- but dealing with a sinning brother.

Conversion is sincere.. from conviction on the soul. So.. it would be unlikely they would continue in habitual sin, because of the conviction on their soul of that sin. There will be fruit from someone being converted. But the conversion is instant. The thief on the cross did not have to...

A demon inside them? Well.. if they had that.. they would never have been saved in the first place.. because a demon cannot co-habitat with the Holy Spirit, who indwells a believer at salvation.

The demons knew OF God. They knew God existed. They obviously hadn't entrusted their salvation with him.

Salvation happens the moment someone places their faith in Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins and receiving eternal life. Almost the entire book of John says this. Also...baptism after death? Where is that in scripture? I haven't got some things quite right but baptism I've never seen after...

Ya I am a bit mistaken there..but hagars descendants did become synonymous with a troublesome line of people.

I should say.. Ishmael was not the product of illegitimacy. .but surrogacy through an ungodly parent to be precise.

Ishmael was the product of illegitimacy. Isaac was not. Isaac was the true heir.. the true 'only begotten' Jesus is referred to as 'only begotten'.. but Jesus was never not existing.. so for Jesus, this is more like 'supreme heir'... so it is with Isaac.. 'supreme heir' of the only right...

Point is.. it was primarily thru Isaac the promises came. And Israel in the wilderness is thru this descent.

Ishmael's exclusion: Luk_13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. Luk_20:37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth...
