Many would say those who are saved,and those who are unsaved. CLOSE!!! No.Those who are trained,trained by the Word of God becoming saved. And those who are untrained.Speaking salvation, but never knowing salvation! In the trained hand is the Word of God,in the untrained hand, there a drink,a drug, a habit,self.

Many untrained hands teach on the trained,many do not know the difference between them.It is because they themselves are untrained. Where is the beginning of this training one may ask? Where does one start to train? How does one come to believe that the teaching they are receiving comes from the trained hand, and not the untrained one?

This my brothers and sister is known by the very fruit,or result of the training one receives.If you think for one second I am speaking from my own knowledge about this,you would be both right,and wrong.Right that I have been trained but wrong in using my own words.For the trained one does not speak from his own words,but rather by whom he or she was trained under!

The Word of God.Chapter 1- Matt 16:24-27 In verse 24 one would think this was not to long of a verse,that would hold true for the untrained eye.Let me through Holy Spirit in me,and you can judge for yourself whether the words that come from me,come from me, of the Lord in me. "Then Jesus said to His disciples",why His disciples??Because a dsiciple is under training from the Master,even as Jesus is our Master.

"If ANYONE",that is us, anyone," wishes to come after Me,he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me"Follow,stay under training to him who is Master over us.The result of not doing this, is spoken in the next verse. as well as verse 26,and the result of following is finally spoken in verse 27."For the Son of man is going to come in the Glory of HIS Father with HIS angels and WILL REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS!" There are 2 results,one at the start of training,and one at the end of training.

( Rev 22:12)"-Which says behold I am coming quickly and My reward is withME,to render to every man according to what he has done!" DONE!!!! The result of our training. I speak first of grace given to us!( Eph 2:8-9) No man or woman can be saved by works,because in order to have works in the first place,they must first answer the knock,GRACE only given from Almighty God himself!( Rev 3:19-22) Those whom I LOVE, I reprove,and discipline; therefore be zealous( meaning do not just walk to the door to answer it,RUN!!!!To the door and answer it!)and Repent.( while running!)

It is only by God's very grace we can even hear the knock,and we hear that knock because we have build up enough faith to answer it!( rom 10:17)Our ears through Jesus, have heard this! Now we dare open the door! We are not quite sure of what is expected of us though.When we open the Door Jesus enters into us. Jesus is willing to stay with us,for as long as we wish him to stay!Testing comes.( jeremiah 17:10 God searches our heart now,he tests our mind now,why???Again!!! to give to each man according to his ways,according to what he has done!!OR!!! NOT DONE!

Will we stay in training to HIS Word? A promise is given to all those willing to stay in him!! ( 1 John 4:27) The more and more time we spend with our Jesus,the more and more he comes in us to abide!TO STAY!!!( john 14:23) Because we not only say we love Him, we show by our actions as well!DEEDS!!!FROM!!!! GRACE GIVEN!

The evidence of this fruit given can be found in Galatians 5:22-26!! The reward for knowing only Jesus can do this in us,and for us showing this to others!! BY what we not only say!! But do!!( james 1:22) From this my brothers and sisters comes proper balance in our Lord Jesus,and in oneanother! ( Col 1:10-14!!!!)

This leads to your life giving testimony to our Lord,so others may come to know the truth,even as you are set by this truth!( john 8:31-32) Now judge for yourself. And answer the door,but remember!!There is a difference from being trained,and saying you are trained!! May you all come to the same LOVE,the same mind,the same result,Salvation Given by the grace of God,to preform good deeds so others can follow!!Praise God!! There is much more,but this all can see, no matter how long one says they believe,and want you to follow them,because they say I follow Jesus.You will know them my brothers and sisters by there deeds! Blessing all!

the moral of your writings is right on. I believe there is a different way to word "training" because of this. In Adam we are flesh, flesh dies, one way or another. In Jesus we are Spirit- through the finished work of God. Jesus on the cross was'nt to "fix" us. For the bible says the heart is "desperately sick" And the wages of sin are death. Jesus died on the cross to transplant us into a "new creature" thats what the " no new wine in an old wineskin" parable was about. You can't just take in the new wine. It must ALL be new. So training implies that what we have and who we are gets better.
However, it is quite the opposite, what I have and who I am must get less and less until Jesus can fill me so completely that the old me is non existent, we are joined as one, like the bride He tells us we are. This may sound hard to do but its not, because its already been done. The bible says we were in Christ when He died on that cross and that all of our sins were bore on him as well. Our sinful selves died on that cross over 2,000 years ago. We just tend not to fully grasp it yet.

But everything you said was right on, we should absolutely be so devoted to our time with Jesus that we not only hear His instruction but that it moves our tongues, our feet and our hands as well. Its just that word training that seems to blur the finished product.

God bless and keep up the good fight brother.
 
Thanks brother,I agree with John 3:30-31 no question! It is just that in order to be able to do this,we have to allow our Jesus to train us in this. Yes? Thanks again for your love in Jesus brother!
 
Amen, this morning over coffee I see exactly what you are talking about. Training, and discipline to choose over and over again the truth's found in Jesus until God has completed his full work in us.

great post Brighthouse! we are lucky to have you as our brother! :D
