This is how I imagine a legalist sees someone who comes to Christ with a revelation of His grace, or for that matter just a person who holds to the Gospel of Grace. The idea that our sins are taken care of past, present, and future makes them think we can go out and sin all we want. The...

This is a question that I haven't been able to find a sufficient answer to. What is the practical difference between operating out of authority to heal the sick (as the disciples did) and operating through the gifts of healing given by the Holy Spirit? Is there an operational difference? The...

How can someone align such a doctrine with new covenant grace? How can your stubbornness to forgive others make void the blood of Jesus Christ? How powerful is your heart! As if your lack of forgiveness towards others puts a dam up, stopping the blood of Christ from washing over you. How...

"You shall reap what you sow." What if a believer sows something bad, such as hate, can they avoid reaping the harvest (by doing something)? Is the way to avoid reaping hate to sow love? Will it negate the seeds of hate? The principle of give and you shall receive, can it be nullified by...

Is it possible to restore one's innocence? Have you ever felt that you once had an innocence that, through time, you lost? Is God able to restore such innocence to you? Sometimes I think of when I once had an innocence about me... but through certain conducts and experiences got muddy. It's...

Does it ever bother you to such a deep degree in which the way the world views Christians? Does it sadden you, tear at your heart that the perception they have of Christianity is one of hypocrisy? Look to any social media and look to the comment section and you will have a clue as to the way the...

My love is not cheap, as my mind would ponder, but is a love that seeks expression. Crushes coming and going, and yet they are not the one. Is it that my love is given so freely, or is it agony pulling at the heart, by having patience for the "one"? Is my heart seeking expression so strongly in...

I thought this would be an edifying thread topic, one of which, with good replies hopefully, would set free people from a legalistic mindset of working for their salvation(or fear of losing it). Tell me why, according to the Word, you are assured of your salvation. I will start off this topic...

I wonder how many people feel they must work to be in God's good graces and to be repentant to enter into His presence? How many people do not come boldly before the throne of grace, and into the Holy of Hollies because of their sin? Do they not know that Jesus has torn the veil? Or, has...

2 Corinthians 3:18 King James Version (KJV) 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. What do you get from that scripture and what do you feel the image represents?

Are there any other examples of making a whole doctrine based upon one verse, such as with sin confession [for forgiveness' sake]? By "examples", of course, I mean whole doctrines that have been created by the use of one verse (and the doctrine isn't visible anywhere else in scripture). The only...
