Our "new man" is what I was referring to as being incorruptible, and that is all hinged on the fact that God is incorruptible. I believe that our "old man" is corrupted by sin. Are you saying that you believe that God created man corrupt though?

Satan is a corrupted spiritual being. When spiritual beings sin, they become corrupt. However, God cannot sin. He is incorruptible.

SovereignGrace, You didn't include verse 18: "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world." (Romans 10:17-18) God is not limited to human preachers...

God created man in His image as "a spiritual being", but when Adam sinned his spirit was corrupted. When God created us "in Christ" though, He made us one with His incorruptible spirit: But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (1 Cor 6:17)

Coming to Christ indicates a movement toward Him, so in that sense it might be considered "a change in spiritual location". Any movement toward Christ is a movement away from Adam. But I believe that there's a difference between being created in Christ and coming to Christ. I believe that the...

John 3:16-21 parallels coming to Christ with believing on Christ. The passage is "a scriptural invitation", but it also confirms that only those who "doeth truth" choose to come to Christ. Since, naturally, there is "none that doeth good, no not one" and "every one that doeth righteousness is...

A study on coming to Christ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. No man can come to me, except the Father...

Not a test, just a study sheet. But you're right that I'm a newbie.
