Immature fruit is what 2 Peter 1:5-7 is talking about. 2 Peter is part of the Bible in case you didn't know. Do you believe that in 1 John 1:7 the sins that are automatically cleansed as we walk in the Spirit can be a sin unto death like murder, stealing, lying, or adultery? Did you read...

Immature fruit is still sin, but NOT UNTO DEATH. You implied you agree with the Reformationists that "sin is sin" and its not according to God, otherwise in the Old Testament breaking the commandments would have a sacrifice to cover them instead of stoning to death. That is like "flesh is...

So then you believe we are automatically mature in all the fruit of the Spirit when we first become a born again Christian? Then you think that Peter in 2 Peter 1:5-11 and especially verse 8-9 teaches the maturity of all those in 5-7 are all matured at the same time? "Sin is sin" came out of...

1 John 1:9 is the same as Acts 2:38. And 1 John 3:4-5 tells us which of the two types of sin it is that is taken out of our sin nature, leaving our nature clean/righteous. John 15:3. There are no sins unto death found "in Christ." Don't lump them all together like Luther and Calvin and say...

This is your post about the rich young ruler where you said Jesus declared that He never knew them. You can see the source of my confusion... Enough said. What does the word 'never' mean to you if not 'forever'? If something needs to change, it should be your doctrine and not the Word of God.

10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Looking at Revelation 22:11 at our...

Where in the story of the rich young ruler is Jesus referring to those as "workers of iniquity"?

Getting back to our riches, what do you think about seeking prosperity? Will they be kept out of heaven? Remember when the church started everyone sold their assets and pooled it. Everyone was equal. Is that what Jesus is going to judge us on today?

Of course, I am serious. I looked up all the accounts in the gospels and read them, and am just telling you what I noticed for the first time. Remember when the church started everyone sold their assets and pooled it. Everyone was equal. Is that what Jesus is going to judge us on today?

I don't see "workers of iniquity" in any of the accounts about the rich young ruler. Also, these are the only teachings in the NT that say the rich cannot enter eternal life if they don't sell all they have and distribute to the poor. When comparing Revelation 13:8 and Revelation 17:8, 13...

I took them at their word seeing as they were not called liars about those abilities. Like 1 John 1:8 says that those who say they are without sin are liars can only mean they know they willfully sin so saying they don't is a lie. It is not what some churches say that "we will always sin, and to...

The people portrayed were once baptized in the Holy Spirit, otherwise they couldn't have done what they claimed. I've thought about this like you have and came to the conclusion that in the end their name was not written in the Book of Life. It had to have been erased.

Matthew 7:19-23 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them. 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say...

Walking in the Light is a continuous action. We do not go in and out of the Light, but we can commit sins that are liken to a dog's vomit. Think about why it would have been better for that person after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior...

Staying on the path to salvation is done by abiding in Him. You can leave Him if you want to. Abiding in Him also means growing in the fruit of the Spirit. Those without the Spirit and just spout false doctrines were never on the path to begin with.
