It's really much simpler than that. It's a continually surrendered life, and living a life inspired by such surrender. That's our part, " Faith and faithing", God will do the rest!

Okay Coop! Hope we'll get to meet on the other side.

Okay! What do you trust in Christ for?

I hate to re ask the question, but I will one more time. What happened when you received the " mind of Christ"? And what does it feel like to live with it every day. The reason I'm asking is the scriptures tell us what happens when we receive the Spirit of Christ. But it doesn't tell us what...

Not to be persistent, but define " following". Faith applied is an act, based upon a Belief, sustained by confidence. Christ is the object of this Faith. What is the act, what is it based upon, and sustained by what?

Since you brought it up, just curious! What happened when you received the mind of Christ? And what does it feel like to have it ?

Yes I get that, following Christ! But what specific acts of Faith would you fulfill to follow Him?

What are you talking about? Every Christian discussion site is nothing but believers in God and His word! Unfortunately, believing in God's word by itself will avail nothing. Strong's: "pisteuo means NOT just to believe".

When we begin the Faith life towards God, we are making specific decisions that make that Faith and the application ours. Specifically by courage and endurance. But as Christ perfects us, I think our Faith becomes less of us and more of Him. What is your understanding of what we do...

It boils down to what your understanding of what Faith is compared to mine. Lots of things happen when the Spirit of Christ is sealed into a faither. So in a short paragraph, what specifically is your understanding of how saving Faith is applied that results in recieving the Spirit of Christ?

No, just proof that were in that time in history the scriptures warn about. 2 Tim. 4 "There will come a time when they will not endure sound doctrine."

You and your household that is.

Talking about Christ and the only way to connect with Him is never a waste of time. Your worth the effort.

It was here two weeks ago. We both had a question for each other. You demanded I answer yours first, I did, then you bailed on me and left me hanging. So keep on your current path. Let someone else have a chance.

Ah, no! You have your group of like minded " believers ", so go be with them. You have nothing to challenge my understanding.

Whenever I try to have a discussion about pisteuo, you disappear on me! So good luck with just believing in God's word.

Then my reply is good luck to you!

Not one is righteous, not even one! Rom. 3:10.
