Remember the fall of Shebna.We are accepted IN the Beloved. So, being IN Him, IN Christ the Beloved, we are accepted because He is accepted and His offering/sacrifice on our behalf was accepted. HE is the cleft of the rock in which we are hid from God's consuming fire/wrath. But we do have responsibilities. If we love Him we will keep His commands. If we would be His disciples we will deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Him. If there is nothing required on our part now we might as well just throw out a huge portion of the new testament including the teachings of Jesus.
Yes, it is possible to fall away or be spewn out, and it's sadly happening to most of the church in our time.Remember the fall of Shebna.
15 Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,
16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?
17 Behold, the Lord will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.
18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.
19 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day,
well dont forget he beleives one can do this WITHOUT BELIEF IN JESUS THE CHRIST . so while it might sound goodAmen!!..that’s divine heart revelation you have there Epi..imo.
YEAH , AND just what is this falling away , ITS THIS INTERFAITH junk pile of inclusivityYes, it is possible to fall away or be spewn out, and it's sadly happening to most of the church in our time.
Yes!!!....Amen!!heart faith, that moves God and UNLOCKS His grace.
I’m sure we have no disagreement with faith that moves God, and that David had faith and was a man after God's heart. Christ’s power/authority/rulership and the kingdom are delegated to those who have faith, they go hand in hand, but I’m not sure it can be said that power/authority is the same thing as faith itself…? Faith was laid on his shoulder…? Sensitivity to the Spirit was laid on his shoulder..? But the key to the city/kingdom was given to David (government/rulership laid on his shoulder) BECAUSE he had faith, no? All authority in heaven and earth was given to Jesus because He was worthy, and He delegates His authority/power to us His church…..whatsoever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatsoever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven....the keys to the kingdom likewise delegated to the church, His body:The key of David is the kind of faith...heart faith, that moves God and UNLOCKS His grace.
I agree. In all these things we are more than conquerors. Only our conquests are not like David's military ones, they are greater than that, because they are spiritual/heavenly in nature. I'm not talking about a political position either. Christ does not occupy a political position. I’m talking about the kingship/rulership of a heavenly kingdom. David and his earthly kingdom of Israel was only a type and shadow of the spiritual/heavenly…..Christ and His church ruling & reigning with Him (and through Him).There is a certain verse that says that the inhabitants of the eternal Zion...that the LEAST of them shall be as David. This is not about a certain political position....but rather a character that is based on faithfulness to God's heart. A man after God's own heart. Based on heart obedience, heart faith...
The mystery of Christ has been revealed to those who believe (by faith not of our own). No idea what you mean by passing a quiz on judgment day.......that’s not now or ever has been how I "imagine" it.The mystery of Christ remains a mystery to those who just see Jesus as the answer to the imaginary quiz that many think they will pass on judgment day.
Amen brother. Apostasy......the strong delusion. Sobering to remember that it is being sent by God to all who received not a love of the truth. He is on the throne sovereignly ruling even though it may look like the enemy has the upper hand. Interfaith for Christians means being unequally yoked with the world......friendship with the world which is enmity with Him.YEAH , AND just what is this falling away , ITS THIS INTERFAITH junk pile of inclusivity
which WONT dare remind one soul of the DIRE NEED TO BELIEVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST .
oh we in a huge falling away all right . The time has come when many now even believe
ONE does NOT EVEN HAVE TO BELEIVE JESUS IS THE CHRIST . and when i say and talk about this , sadly
i am talking about a very large and growing percentage within christendom . I even happen to know of
a few on this site even . Who might be able to talk about concepts of the SPIRIT , the CROSS
the walk , BUT will come after those who REMIND of the DIRE NEED TO FIRST BELEIVE ON JESUS the CHRIST .
keep that in mind . the deception will continue to grow and to abound and many will buy the lie .
This is your indoctrination speaking.....the way you are so easily captured by other dogmatic head believers. Start a thread on the dire need to be indoctrinated with Amigo. ;)@Episkopos.........I'd like to ask what are your thoughts about those scriptures which say friendship with the world is enmity with God, and that we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers but to come out from among them and be separate? I've mentioned those passages more than once before but you didn't take the opportunity to affirm and agree with them or to comment on them at all. What do they mean to you, and do you agree with them? or would you qualify them in any way perhaps?
I only understand those scriptures by the Spirit, Epi. It is understanding that HE has given me. I didn't receive it from man. Anyone can accuse anyone of dogmatic beliefs and indoctrination without providing any evidence at all. So what is your understanding of those scrips? If you feel you have a better grasp of them, this is another opportunity for you to share your take on it.This is your indoctrination speaking.....the way you are so easily captured by other dogmatic head believers. Start a thread on the dire need to be indoctrinated with Amigo. ;)
The principalities want you to condemn righteousness....in order to justify your dogmatic beliefs. Right now I'm speaking WAYYY over your head. You would have to know about how God works and how the devil works. You would have to understand how the devil deceives the WHOLE world. The fact that you ask silly questions shows the open door to whatever wind of doctrine is blowing through.
I disagree wholeheartedly with ANY indoctrination of the mind. I am a spiritual Christian. I stand against the flesh...especially Christianized flesh. Once you let go of that, THEN you can embrace the truth that is in Christ.
Otherwise start a thread on the "dire need to be indoctrinated into thinking you are saved by having certain beliefs ABOUT Jesus".

I realize you don't understand the content of my posts...and want me to jump through the same carnal hoops that you think are qualifications for "acceptance" by God. Talk about the depths of deception.So what is your understanding of those scrips? If you feel you have a better grasp of them, this is another opportunity for you to share your take on it.
Wow. So you are determined to keep hiding. We can draw our own conclusions as to why that is. A teacher who is unwilling to teach. That is strange because I would have thought this would be right up your alley since you talk about holiness a lot. Do you know that holiness means to be separate? And that this separateness is a requirement to be received by God as His sons and daughters? We are to discern and distinguish and divide between the holy and the common and keep them separate. Because MIXTURE is an ABOMINATION to the Lord. As in "when you see the abomination of desolation standing in the HOLY place......" Dear Lord......we need ears to hear that. Mixture means it is unclean.....unclean because it is mixture......the "unclean thing" we are not to touch.I realize you don't understand the content of my posts...and want me to jump through the same carnal hoops that you think are qualifications for "acceptance" by God. Talk about the depths of deception.
But as to your questions....which you already asked me. I am married to a fellow disciple of Christ. Are you married to an unbeliever? Is that what this is about?
Are you looking for people to condemn in order to justify yourself like Amigo tries to do? Is this an ego boost opportunity for you?
God is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more merciful than you Pharisaical dogmatic head-religion types. Condemn not lest you also be condemned. Very simple Christianity 101.
If if you can't discern what is behind the mind games people play to avoid the truth...they are very apparent and predictable.

Do you know that holiness means to be separate?
Your carnal mind is in a loop. The Pharisees condemned Jesus as either a demonic teacher or else so misguided as to not understand the kind of sinners He was hanging out with.And that this separateness is a requirement to be received by God as His sons and daughters?

This interfaith movement is not of God. It's MIXING the holy with the common and is not HIS righteousness but is the self-righteousness of man. Filthy rags, not holy. Do you agree or disagree with that?
2Co 6:14-18
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Anyone who can't affirm these scriptures cannot be of God.
yes the only answer is Jesus He was given full authority (Matt 18:18) on earth and heaven, people keep saying Jesus is the answer because HE IS;Not at all. How many have been conditioned to repeat that the answer to every question is Jesus? People parrot the word without any understanding of the question. And people get smug over this....smug in a continuing blindness and ignorance.
Jesus says to those who are shut out...I don't know WHERE you are coming from. These are rejected even though they are going TO Jesus.
Now this might be a little deeper than just answering...the answer is Jesus. ;)
Is such an endeavour too difficult? Is it worth the trouble to actually understand the biblical narrative? Or do we just say the answer is Jesus and remain confident?
Any brainwashed person can repeat an answer. But dogmatic types don't know the right questions.yes the only answer is Jesus He was given full authority (Matt 18:18) on earth and heaven, people keep saying Jesus is the answer because HE IS;
John 14:6: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'"
John 4:14. reads:
"But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."
Why are you always making me the subject of discussion instead of discussing the subject? I know why and hope it is evident to others as well. You do that because you can't refute the simple truth that is being brought. But why such unwillingness to receive and acknowledge the truth.....is it that hard for you to accept that you may be wrong about some things?I thought I didn't teach? I think you are unable to learn...always learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth. I explain things in great detail. When I do so, you complain that it isn't a part of your indoctrination from the bible. So there is no moving forward with you. You are stuck in your own mind with it's already baked-in interpretations.
Is that all you have? God is just different? As in, there goes God, different isn't He?
Your carnal mind is in a loop. The Pharisees condemned Jesus as either a demonic teacher or else so misguided as to not understand the kind of sinners He was hanging out with.
Do you think that Jesus was marrying harlots and sinners? Is that what you mean by being unequally yoked? Is your concern for Jesus and His mercy towards non-dogmatic theorists such as yourself? Are you threatened by God's mercy?
And you didn't deny that you are married to an unbeliever. Is that where this is coming from? Are you unequally yoked?
If your concern is for the purity of my ministry....you may have missed my MANY citations about NOT having any companionship with the flesh...especially Christianized flesh. So then I reject your ministry, of course. There is a lot of counterfeit religion going on. And you still think the danger is OUTSIDE the church. Amazing.
And what do all your fears have to do with this thread?
It's the whole point . . . he's a troll. It's what he's done for years.Why are you always making me the subject of discussion instead of discussing the subject?

I hope you were looking in the mirror when you typed out this deviation from the topic of this thread.I know why and hope it is evident to others as well. You do that because you can't refute the simple truth that is being brought. But why such unwillingness to receive and acknowledge the truth.....is it that hard for you to accept that you may be wrong about some things?
