Featured Were Men Born Again Before Pentecost? *for all Christians

Jewish believer can be guilty of doing the same thing Gentiles believer were doing in the churches at Galatia; finishing by the flesh under the law what was begun with the Spirit. This is why I see any reproof & edification towards body of Christ, it is applicable towards all.

In Acts, the Gentiles were warned not to be hoodwinked into being pressured to follow the commandments under the Old Covenant. They did give other instructions like abstain from fornication and things offered unto idols. And so the edification and reproofs that Paul had written to the Jewish believers in Christ can be applied to the Gentiles believers in Christ as the Gentiles have been warned about false apostles that wish to bring them under bondage.

Gentile believers need the edification in Hebrews 6th chapter as much as Jewish believers in moving on from the gospel into growing in Christ to perfection by His grace & by His help as our Good Shepherd.

Already, Gentile believers think they can lose their salvation or that once they have gone astray, they can never be saved again when that is not what Hebrews 6 th chapter nor the 10th chapter is testifying about. They read the false teachings into these selected verses pulled out of context without actually reading the chapter in question so as to see what is actually written is not going against any other truths in the N.T.

Let's avoid that train of thought as it does tempt believers to judge one another in regards to honesty. We all prophecy in part and know in part as we are to lean on the Good Shepherd to confirm or reprove us so we can bear more fruit.

As you have posted earlier, some believers holding to errant doctrines do not know they are in error.

One can read the Bible cover to cover, and I have done that at least twice, but that doesn't necessarily mean I can't learn anything new and the same goes for you.

If one reads the scripture one way because they have been taught to read an application in that way, it will take the Lord to help them see His truth the way He meant it to be received.

Example, seeing the sons of God as fallen angels instead of as a reference to the line of Seth as tracing back to Israel's family roots, aka their family tree.

We both have to rely on the Lord to minister to each of us in causing the increase in the progress of our discussion. He is our Good Shepherd. It is not by honestly reading & studying the scripture is how we are shepherding ourselves as if we can when wisdom comes from the Lord.

I am hoping to figure out if that @ symbol next to the name is how the alert system lets me know someone tagged me by doing that. Usually it alert that I have been quoted in a thread, but some of these alert me that I have been tagged in that thread, as mentioned by the @ next to my name, but not necessarily quoting me.

May God bless you to receive sharpening as you sharpen others as well.

 

Yeah.. I think the OP points of truth are enough for edification alone.
