So since you don't have your glorified body, you are not saved. Enjoy your ambiguous status.

Therefore your reply here refutes the title of this thread. Your glorified body does not determine your salvation, but the reverse is true.

Now you are putting your unbelief on display. Just remember that even Balaam's donkey could recognize an angel when she saw him. But there were no donkeys taking the messages to the seven churches.

You could always ask any atheist if he prefers to be a fool rather than a wise person. That should get their dander up. Then follow through and tell that person that God sees you as a fool whether you believe in Him or not. And leave it at that. If you want to take it a step further you can add...

These comments show a gross misunderstanding of the Rapture and what it means for the saints of God. Neither Satan, nor the Antichrist, nor the unbelieving world, have anything to do with the Rapture. But you also have some bizarre and weird interpretations in that post, so such strange comments...

Why would a donkey be involved when Christ sent seven angels to seven churches? Or don't you believe that that actually and literally happened? Just as an angel appeared to Peter to release him from prison, angels took the messages to those seven churches and delivered them.

Not *uncomfortable with* but clearly identified ad those belonging to the apostolic period. Signs, wonders, and miracles were primarily for the apostles and their companions (Hebrews 2). You can walk into any church of any denomination today, and this is exactly what you will see. All those who...

This was happening in the apostolic churches while the apostles were alive. Paul aksed Timothy to bring along "the books and the parchments". Peter was acquainted with all of Paul's epistles (51% of the New Testament). By the 2nd century, there was already a list of almost all the books of the...

In that case just make sure that your local assembly preaches and practices what is clearly revealed in Acts chapter 2, and the numerous injunctions in the New Testament. But it all begins with the full and true Gospel of the Grace of God, and Christ Himself is the Gospel.

The one true Church is the Body of Christ. There may be churches around the world that hold to New Testament truth and practice. But there is no monolithic and visible *one true Church* (as some would have us think).

Even though I refuted your nonsense in post #73, you persist in your error. That is wilful blindness and resistance to the truth. And there is a price to be paid for that.

Why don't you study Scripture properly and carefully? Hebrews 8:13 says that God has made the Old Covenant OBSOLETE. ἐν τῷ λέγειν, Καινὴν πεπαλαίωκε* τὴν πρώτην. τὸ δὲ παλαιούμενον καὶ γηράσκον, ἐγγὺς ἀφανισμοῦ. *Strong's Concordance (3822) palaioó: to make or declare old Original Word...

There are not just those two options (as you seem to think). There are many people who are self-employed, many others who are entrepreneurs (without being millionaires). As you say, the idea that hard work at a job will be well-rewarded is not necessarily true. There are politics in every work...

This is true but at the same time we need to be aware that our natural abilities can be used alongside spiritual gifts. Also the appropriate measure of faith is given for the exercise of those gifts. And *Spirit* should be capitalized. And since we are on the subject of spiritual gifts we need...

You should try and show which components are defensive and which are offensive. The soldier both defends himself and also goes on the offensive. Further all Christians are likened to soldiers, and clearly told that they are engaged in spiritual warfare. At the same time, Paul tells us that the...

We need to be perfectly clear that (1) there are no contradictions in Scripture and (2) all Scripture can be reconciled with (a) the character of God and (b) the character and teachings of Christ. PERSONAL ENEMIES -- "the command is to love your enemies and turn/offer the other cheek" ENEMIES...

You continue to INSULT Non-Calvinists and display the arrogance of those who think they are the elect. Well I will be reporting you to the mods for (1) trolling for Calvin, and (2) reviling Non-Calvinists. We have seen enough of your garbage.

Yes it is a fine line. Self pity (or *wallowing in self-pity*) is simply feeling sorry for ourselves, which leads to depression and despair. Not a very healthy thing. Self-compassion is not being too hard on ourselves after we have done everything we can to deal with the issues that face us.

All of this was simply Left-Liberal propaganda to create apprehension rather than a desire to focus on the real issues. The world is NOT over-populated, but those at the top in every country have grabbed all the resources for themselves, while allowing their countrymen to suffer. Frankly...

So I take it that you are presently in your *glorified body*. Do tell.
