If we're in Christ--in the Spirit---we won't sin.  If we're not, we will, b/c our willpower (in our flesh) will NOT keep us from sinning but rather line us up for failure.  See, I believe that Christ in me is who makes me walk righteously.  All I need to do is spend time with Him every day, and have a GENUINE relationship with Him, and the rest naturally follows.  We get out of His way so He can take the driver's seat in our lives.  So I don't believe we gotta do works to stay saved---I believe we gotta maintain our relationship with the Lord, and that HE does the changing and makes it so we walk in the works He had set out for us before we ever even got saved, for us to do.  So then who gets the glory for transforming us?  Who gets the glory for our good works.  Christ, of course!  :)  B/c there is NOTHING good in me---that is, in my flesh, so I can't be good enough--I can't keep myself from sinning, but Christ in me keeps me from sin.  So MY job is to stay in a close relationship with the Lord, and HIS job is to purify me & enable me to live above sin.  :-)

I think you've said it all Marcia. :o)  For once - I can't add anything, and can't take anything away.  Well I could. With some of the things you've written - and what people say from behind the podeum, it don't quite line-up when you read it for yourself.

I can only give what You gave to me

What do I have that's close to worthy

What have I to give that speaks to thee

Everything I have you gave to me

The best I am you've made me be

I could not pay for that which is free

What I give you gave to me

Your Love for me you give freely

Your love for me is eternally

Your love for me is all I see

Your love for me I give back to thee

By Preston Pittman

I Love you, Jesus

Yes its sad.  Without down-grading your message Marcia, its a bit like buying a product, and when people get back home and start opening things up and seeing and experiencing it for themselves, its not what it says on the packet!  Then people go into the mode of "well he said this" and "he said that." Well...read the small print.  Its a bit like joining the army.  Its only when you join it - you find out what it really means.  And here's a food for thought.  If "preachers" promoted all the bad stuff first, would people be so eager to join up?  Answer: no.  So they promote all the good stuff, but totally leave out the bad stuff. 

Going back to my "product" statement above, read what it says on the packet first by reading into it yourself - and not taking somebody else's word for it that everything is going to be happy-clappy.  There will be times when people feel shot to peices, but "he" didn't tell you about that, did he?  Again, read the small print.

Stevie, 
Funny thing is the (generation of vipers ) is usually ommited and most of the (bad scriptures) like (willful sin) is by-passed in the theology of mankind. 

Grace seems to be the largest print  to many, I found out lately.  They like the feel good message it produces, even though it does not make them grow Spiritually.  I call it a stunted message that produces carnally minded people with no testimony of the true Grace and Mercy of Jesus Christ, because we are indeed tested by the Written Word and only pass the test through obedience, and then and only then, the Written Word becomes a testimony and then and only then one can truly say they know this Jesus Christ and they have a testimony of His goodness and Mercy.

You know what is really sad, people keep going to "their markets", buying the product and eating the rotten fruit, even though the "Fine Print" says they will die Spiritually.  The same fruit that Adam and Eve ate that caused them to be expelled from the garden of Eden.  People forget about Satan, the deciever of mankind.  When you tell them the truth they try to shut you up by telling you to shut up!  Doctrines of demons!  I say let's all overcome our carnal nature and yield to the Spirit of Truth in obedience and that will make Jesus Christ the true Lord of our life.

How dare we say Lord, Lord and do not what He said.

We have read the Word ourselves in order to find the Truth.

When we examine all of the above, this is false doctrine and is ONLY used to please the CARNAL SELFISH NATURE OF HUMANITY.  LOOK CLOSELY MY FRIENDS. SATAN IS VERY BUSY IN THESE LAST DAYS.  MAKE YOUR SALVATION SURE.  LISTEN TO THE VOICE THAT TELLS YOU TO LEAVE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE, PICK UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM Jesus Christ. Follow His Words. He has rules and commands to follow.

 

AMEN! I pray my household will crave the Word.

What a valid question dear Sis...
Great remarks and food for thought...
We need to be stirred so that we will reflect and ponder...

13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?


Thanks...
Blessings In Him... :o)

So many good points here.  How blessed we are to be free to delve into the Word to find our answers...

All I can say is, yup!  And the secret is, when someone says something, look it up for yourself.  In some circumstances, I'm so fed up with having to feed people with scripture - because they can't be bothered to do it themselves.  There are "hearer's" of the Word and there are "doers" of the Word.  In the context of this response, which one are we? because there will be hearer's who only do it because somebody else told them to do it, and then blame somebody else for landing them in trouble - because they never looked it up for themselves before doing it.  So when it comes to the Day of Judgement, what will their excuse be?  Well "they" told me to do it!  Well here's one answer: look it up yourself before doing it.  It will save a lot of trouble in the end.  We are made accountable for our mistakes, not somebody else's.

Barb, I can only pray that we all receive the gift of the Holy Spirit so that we can receive true revelation and with his help, be able to apply this truth to our lives daily.  I pray that you are blessed as you delve in sister.
