If you ever become born again, you will see that what you are puishing at FR amounts to yoyoy salvation, on again off again, JUST LIKE the catholicism apologists push, ignorantly.
Ay-men, MHG, amen!!! No amount of works will get a person saved. NONE. In fact, to presume so would be to say that Christ Jesus’ atoning death is not enough, and that would be blasphemous.
But until that moment we are already alive in spirit forever more because He is abiding in our newborn spirit, and HE cannot sin so our newborn spirit cannot sin...
I wonder how many of these people in Matthew 7 thought the same thing? “But, but, but, but Lord, the Holy Spirit was indwelt in me and I was told (by MHG and his friends) that I cannot sin, that the Law does not not apply to me because I’m not under it as a saved Christian. No one can be expected to keep it. That’s the Old Testament. Commandments? You were serious about that? (and all of those other excuses).
God’s response: 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’…
Unrepentant sin is lawlessness and all of your jibber jabber with my “Spirit can’t sin but by flesh/soul can”, will not work as an excuse with God. If you say you love him for what he did for you on the cross, and you don’t keep his commandments, you are a liar. Plain and simple it is.
Christians who “say” they love Jesus (saved), but don’t keep his commandments, are called LIARS by Jesus. Liars will not be in heaven.
Oh, look, here’s commandment keeping and liars in the same 2 verses. God couldn’t really mean that, could He?
Rev 22
14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
