The law of Moses says that if you actually go to bed with another woman and have actual sex with her, you have committed adultery. The law of Christ says that if you simply look upon a woman with lust, you have committed adultery. Much easier to commit adultery in the law of Christ than in...

We are not full of pride because we want to do what Jesus asked us to do. If you feel like you are under bondage to live the gospel of Jesus Christ to its fullest, then maybe you have not been saved yet.

I am a Christian and believe in the victory and freedom of Christ as much as you do. It is not misery to live like Jesus tells us to live. If it is for you, you really have not been saved.

The merits of our works will never save us in the KOG. Only the merits of Jesus' works will save us. However, if Jesus tells us to do something, we better do it, right?

So we believe Jesus, but do not have to follow in his footsteps and we are saved into his kingdom?

All these things, baptism, forgiveness, are all based on the words of Jesus. That is what is meant by being "Jesus based". Jesus said believe, so I believe. Jesus was water baptized, so I was water baptized. Jesus baptized by fire, so I was baptized of the spirit. Jesus said forgive, so I...

No, I believe that is the beginning only. There are many things that Jesus taught us in order to be saved. I want to follow his footsteps and try to be like him and do what he did. That is what it means to be "Jesus based".

Just do a litle test on your congregation. Ask if a person thinks they are saved, and then asses if they obey the Lord? You will find that 80% of the people that say they are saved will also admit that they do not obey the Lord in all things. Salvation is not a one time thing. It is a...

Our religion is not "works based". If is "Jesus based". True gospel.

I also think you are a little naive that people do not reject God for a multitude of reasons, even after they have been baptized with the spirit. People reject God, and according to John 15:2 God rejects people who will not produce fruit for His kingdom.

I am giving you a bible verse (John 15:2) recorded by John the beloved, spoken by Jesus Christ. Are they false teachers?

Sorry, according to John 15:2, if a born again Christian does not produce fruit, they will not have EL. IOW they can go against the will of God, having the pure right to choose this direction and lose their salvation.

If there is anybody distorting and perverting John 15:2 it is the OSAS believers. It is straight forward otherwise.

I ask you if John the beloved and Jesus are false prophets/teachers, and respond to that by asking me if I even go to church???? What has that have to do with: do you think that John the beloved and Jesus Christ are false prophets/teachers? You see, you accused me of following false teachers...

I am relying on what Christ has done and will do, but I also am relying on what the HS tells me to do so that I am doing that which Jesus created for me to do. One without the other is death.

If you read it closely, I am relying on the Holy Spirit to guide me. If I accomplish anything, it is because I listened to the HS and did what God created me to do. You are way to hung up on the idea that somebody can accomplish something. If I listen to the HS and accomplish a task that the...

You left off part of my post for a purpose.

I know you feel comfortable with your answer. I feel comfortable with mine also. As long as the HS is my guide, my accomplishments will be seen as following the prompting of the HS and will be proven to be in the name of the Lord and what the Lord created for me to do.

It is really not nice to use only part of my post. I do not appreciate your tactic.

Your explanation of Judas just does not fit John 15:2. Judas was not a branch IN JESUS. So he was going to not be nourished and did eventually die. But in this scripture Jesus is talking about Born-Again branches who are IN HIM. Read it again and you will see. Especially see the words IN...
