    The 411 on Judging

    To whomever has been given by Grace of God, spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear, Extracted/repeated from the thread starter; a nutshell definition of sinful judgment, i.e., the condemning kind: "In no case is one human being allowed to judge the motives of another, for only God knows the...

    The 411 on Judging

    "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgement." John 7:24 Sadly, when the heart of the Christian has not been further sanctified subsequent to the New Birth, it still containing such unclean idols as "envy & strife" (KJV), it bends and twists and perverts the Holy...

    The 411 on Judging

    1 Cor. 5:12-13; Jn. 12:47. (Perhaps others too---dunno. I was a bit premature, I guess, having done the thread starter "from memory," so to speak, and am now in the process of referencing all the Scriptures for the various points. I'll repost later with them.) jim P.S. Not to mention the...

    Christian - Christ is the only way to salvation

    Whoever, Still unanswered; how can a Christian who was once genuinely born-again, now know if: 1) the good works that are now coming forth from their life are indeed those referred to in such places as James 2 as being a necessary witness to the genuineness of their conversion (i.e., a...

    OSAS vs. CS (Evangelicals & charismatics)

    Extracted from "my" other thread, "The 411 on Judging": Up until 2,000 years ago, God winked at sin, but ever since has commanded every human being to, 1) Love God with all facets of their being, and; 2) Love every human being they know to exist, even all enemies, even at times to the degree...

    The 411 on Judging

    The 411 on "judging": 1) The Holy Word forbids the Christian to judge those outside the church. --Mt. 7:1; Lk. 6:37; Jn. 12:47; Rom. 2:1; 1 Cor. 4:5, 5:12-13 2) Regarding judging other Christians, the Holy Word gives clear procedures, and confines it to those of our own local fellowship...

    Christian - Christ is the only way to salvation

    Jaynar, rather than waste everyone's time, and so as to not clog the thread with extensive quotes and rebuttals, I'll comment in general: Nothing you quoted answers either of my questions. You did point out a couple good passages that can be used as a witness against someone who is not...

    Christian - Christ is the only way to salvation

    PtL, Jenyar; 2 Cor. 9:12. Jenyar, I'm going to shuffle your statements---hope that's okay. Ummmm.....since you are telling us your opinion of what Jesus said rather than giving us the Scripture, I'm left assuming that you are referring to Jesus saying, "By this will all men know you are My...

    Christian - Christ is the only way to salvation

    Whoever, The above, not true. To wit: "Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin," not salvation. James 4:17

    Christian - Christ is the only way to salvation

    Greetings, AV1611, in the Name of the Lord Christ Jesus! (Hey, the intro. in my new NASB says that the 1611 KJV was a remake/update (I forgot their exact word) of some c.1586 "Bishop's Bible." 'Sup w. dat?) Well, time will tell; we'll see {-_-} Wellll, ehhhh, ummmmm, thanks, but I claim it...

    Christian - Christ is the only way to salvation

    Whoever, The above, not necessarily true---not at all. There are innumerable people in the world of many faiths, likely including satanists somewhere (I at least know such is true of some "white" witches), who do good works. Also, thoroughly ludicrous: if someone takes the Holy Bible and...

    Christian - Christ is the only way to salvation

    Whoever, "Christ is the only Way to salvation," true, but more specifically, and in regards to "ETERNAL salvation" of whom Jesus is the "Author . . .TO ALL THOSE WHO OBEY HIM": Eternal Life is only promised in the Holy Word to those who have received from God, one Grace after another until...

    What Does "Born Again" Mean in the Bible?

    Whoever, Well, the above is actually a Catch 22 of sorts. Without being born-again, someone cannot correctly understand spiritual things, for such eternally profitable Truths "are only spiritually discerned," and until someone is born again they do not have that (S)spirit from God needed to...

    I was wondering

    Yes, of course I've heard it: I've been Pent./charismatic since 1982, when I myself began to pray in tongues, and for hours a day. That may sound boastful, but it is not; it is the everyday life of innumerable such as I. (I cannot myself imagine going a single day or two without praying in...

    What Does "Born Again" Mean in the Bible?

    Whoever, Being born again, or, born from Above (the Greek can be translated either way) is comprised---by implication of the Word---of receiving from Heaven/Above/God a "new (S)spirit and a new heart" (Ezek.), the former instantaneously, the latter in degrees. Part of that new heart begun...

    I was wondering

    While we cannot put God in a box, generally speaking and for the purposes of discussion: There are two main manifestations of tongues---just as there are of each and all the nine supernatural Gifts of the Spirit as are listed in 1 Cor 12. There is tongues that ministers to others, is dealt...

    OSAS vs. CS (Evangelicals & charismatics)

    I almost never get involved in OSAS vs. CS (Cond. Sec.), and in fact it has been so long since I last did so that I was even sure I would never post on one again. Just like discussing charismatic doctrine on non-charismatic or mixed forums, these types of topics are too divisive, cause many to...

    Christian: Can Christians Be Unified?
