    Not By Works

    Not long ago there were a bunch of supposed messianic Jews who were posting in here, but they were denying Jesus' diety and preaching works for salivation. Saying they accepted the 4 gospels but rejecting the rest of the NT.

    Yup we did beach projects every summer thru what you guys call CRU. The thing about it though was it was run by Americans.. and they had their own way of running it which was grounded in the Word. Once they left back to the States.. the club took on NZ leadership not as mature/grounded and...

    How do you know you have the holy spirit

    The Book of John is about how you can know you have eternal life. It's about knowing that you have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Not looking at emotional experiences or feelings..but whether you believed Jesus is God..that He lived sinless, died and rose again. That by believing in Him...

    Presuming on the Blood

    Context will determine whether a passage is about eternal salvation or daily service. Daily service is the right response to having eternal life given to you, but is not the means of receiving eternal life. So verses about judgment for sin.. you gotta ask... is this judgment of being sent to...

    Sound Doctrine Based On God's Word

    Hebrews 10.26.. The context of Hebrews 10 is the Hebrews offering up animal sacrifices as part of their old ways under the Old Testament covenant. So.. 'where there is remission of these, there is no more sacrifice for sins'.. is about not being able to sacrifice bulls and goats anymore as a...

    They wouldn't fall into the 1 co 12:8-10 category. The others I mean are more like helps, administration, evangelism, teaching, discernment. Some listed further in 1 co 12.

    Is a child of God always in the grace, love, and kingdom of God?

    Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit when a person is born again, they are kept by Him with a place in heaven reserved for them. So, with this, usually the response is 'you are teaching a license to sin' What this response ignores, is this indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit that...
