God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
One person wrote elsewhere … All who have come to Christ as repentant sinners to be saved and to receive the forgiveness of sins are given the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit working in the life of the believer that will produce the Christian life. After being born again we no longer need... -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
Gee, I taught a tulip were a flower. Maybe I'm a 4 1/2 point mini-tulip (guess I'm acronymously deficient) ... for not all BAC "saints" persevere until the end. Paul certainly wants them to ... with all of his copious encouragements, edifications, exhortations, etc. He feels personally... -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
IMO, God chose some humans to receive His free gift of grace-faith-salvation. He chose certain ones because of His own personal reasons. However, these ones must co-operate with God to be sanctified unto holiness. Grace is not a free ride ... these ones need to maintain their great blessings... -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
Yes, I wasn't at all clear ... I meant that man chooses whether to maintain his salvation or not, i.e. he has control of falling from grace or not. You overcome by being obedient to God's commands and by co-operating with the Holy Spirit in your "sanctification unto holiness" process (which... -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
[/COLOR][/B] Yes, it does sound weird, doesn't it? God chooses, and man can reject. -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
Of course. Spiritually speaking ... re: man's free will ... I'm not talking about his choice to accept salvation, or not. God chooses who gets His free gift of grace-faith. I'm talking about all other times. -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
Yes, you are absolutely correct about Gen. 4:6, which says ... So the Lord said to Cain, "I will not allow you to choose to have sin rule over you!" Actually, He says that in Scripture ... all the time to everyone ... including today! Woe is me! ... Alfred Newman had it right all along when he... -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
One very quick note...... I see statements like God cannot be stopped doing this or that. You just don't get it ... man has free will to accept or reject God ... in salvation, in worship, in obedience, in everything! Please note ... God had His reasons for not creating robots! Why don't you... -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
Absolutely nothing, He has done His part perfectly! ... EDITED However, this only has to do with His part in our salvation! The part that you are missing is that we are in a mutual relationship. There are things we must do regarding our part in our salvation! The NASB is widely... -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
Paul majored on instructing the churches what to do about their sinning problems. If thou art sinning, it might behoove you to pursue righteousness ... 1 Timothy 6:11-12 … But you, O man of God, flee these things (sins) and pursue righteousness Paul taught … grace >> belief-faith >>... -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
Yes, and it's a process. -
By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!

By God’s law it’s impossible … it’s only possible by God’s grace!
Then, thou needs to explain (to yourself): "Why am I ignoring all of the hissing sounds in the NT that John is pointing out to me?" -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
I am hoping that this might provide revelation knowledge ... What saves us is ... Jesus' righteousness + our maintained righteousness Romans 6: 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to... -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
Yes, and both. -

God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
Dis is all very sweet and nice, but what I see you saying is ... "I prefer to go along with the party line of the Laodicean churches (Rev 3:14-22). I prefer to not try to obey Jesus' commandments. I prefer to not try to co-operate with the Holy Spirit, who is trying to sanctify me unto... -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
IMO, there is a misconception of who is holy and what holiness is. God’s elect are considered “holy†in His eyes … because He knows these ones will choose to fully co-operate with the Holy Spirit in the “sanctification unto holiness†process! Problem is ... no one knows for... -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
Yes, of course. Would you like to see all of the verses again, which warn that you must keep the faith until the end (i.e. your death)? And I'm getting the picture that ... Keeping the faith means keeping the commandments, which means pursuing holiness, i.e. living a holy life, amongst other... -
God calls you to be an overcomer by living a holy life!
About 90%+ of the American church might kinda want to ... but don't. These folks are not living "holy lives", which is what the Lord requires! To enter heaven, that is. Believe it or not. Everything is always coming back to that "narrow" road and "few will be saved". I used to think that meant...
