Ok but I don't believe we ever repent of every sin because most of them we don't even notice. So God has to be grading on a curve, that is, he is forgiving sins we don't think to confess.

See you are embracing a contradiction. You say we aren't sinless but yet you say we have NO desire to sin. If we had no desire to sin we would be sinless! You say on one hand that true believers are blameless and then say that those who struggle are believers! You can't have it both ways. I...

I was listening to Catholic radio yesterday.. there was a woman on there actually saying that children should not read the Bible for themselves. That we have to have certain people who are qualified to read it to us. And making all kinds of excuses why they kept the actual written word out of...

Go back and read the rest of my post.

Well you said before that you didn't. Again, you would not say you were sinless. Are you know saying you are? I don't think Paul is claiming to be sinless. Some of the people in his churches were pretty messed up. In comparison, he was a holy man, not a perfect one, which he confirms many...

I really don't think you understand my position at all. You say you don't believe in entire sanctification while constantly claiming that we can be 100 percent pure. Sooo, that's very confusing. Like most people that bang that drum, you won't come out and say you are sinless, while again...

I answered, you didn't.

Again you give me verses instructing us what we should do to become more like Jesus. I wonder why Christians need to hear these things if they are already Holy in every thought and action? Accusing me of being a self-righteous judge is making yourself a self-righteous judge and I grow weary of...

Ok, first answer this: Peter preaches to a group of Gentiles earlier in the book and they are filled with the Holy Spirit BEFORE they are baptized. Here people have been baptized but not yet filled with the Holy Spirit. Seems to me you have a problem if you think baptism is what brings the...

Then you don't know classic Arminianism.

And how do you know? You can't know that.

You know that's not unique to Calvinism, right? That parts no different among classic Arminians.

First, lust isn't just about sex. Lust can be many things, as it's just the desire to have one's way. No one totally eliminates this, including the most godly among us. I would venture to say that the most godly admit they still have issues. And of course it's visible if you are around them...

Possible? Yes. Likely? No.

Are we talking about things like the virgin birth, the literal resurrection of Jesus and Jesus being God? There are some central truths that most of us can agree on. I don't think we can just discount all of Christian history and assume we are right and they were all wrong. If you go back and...

I quite enjoy women preachers and I think Paul would too. What he didn't like were disruptive women. And if you read some of his other writings you'll find he didn't like it when men acted wrongly in church either.

Why would Jesus tell Nicodemus that he must be baptized to be saved, even though he was still under the Old Covenant? What Jesus was doing was explaining to Nicodemus his need to be “born from above” or “born again.” When Jesus told Nicodemus that he must “be born of water and the Spirit,” He...

Hey we arminians are real Christians too! It's the Calvinists that get a lot wrong.

No they don't. The first one doesn't even mention baptism. BtW, Being baptized by John demonstrated a recognition of sin, and a desire for spiritual cleansing and a commitment to follow God’s law in anticipation of the Messiah’s arrival. It's not the same as being baptized as a sign that you...

What is the water? I already answered that. The water symbolizes spiritual cleansing. Believers Baptism for Christians was not a thing yet when Jesus talked to Nicodemus. So how could Jesus expect Nicodemus to understand Christian baptism? But he would have understood that water was a sign of...
