No, my last name is Samuels (but I'm not Jewish). No, don't even know of such a group! No, never think about TORAH. No, Jesus was talking about His commandments. Gee, I feel all no'd out.

Sorry, I missed the first thread on this topic (before it was locked), and I don't know if anyone presented these verses ... John 14:21-23 (NKJV) "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest...

Is posting NT verses heresy, friend? The OP gives the verses which say: those who practice righteousness are righteous. So, are you righteous? Or are you making excuses for living unrighteously?

Sorry, but when John talks about "the world", he usually is referring to "the world of unbelievers". So yes, BACs have overcome (risen above, etc.) these poor people. Here is Jesus' definition of who an "overcomer" is ... "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I...

IMO, his children fell away because they did not have true faith, enduring faith. Nothing can happen that will cause one who has true saving faith ... to fall away! Example 1 ... The NT says works must follow faith for one to be saved. Example 2 ... The NT says the habitual sinner must become...

Well welcome, Simon, and your 1st post is good one! The NT teaches us that we are saved by grace initially, but we must co-operate with the Holy Spirit as He tries to sanctify us unto holiness (I say "tries to" because we are not robots, we have free will.) E.G. see Romans 6:16 and 6:19. Yes...

It would be wise to consult the NT Scriptures and use them as evidence for your claims. UPON is found in 7 NT verses re: the baptism with the Holy Spirit, and in 3 of those verses, speaking in tongues is mentioned. How many people do you know who spoke in tongues whilst they were initially...

These 2 passages are specifically about “baptized with the Holy Spirit”. “And being assembled together with them, He (Jesus) commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but...

'Tis NO wonder that you never fit in with Pentecostals/Charismatics! You don't believe any of their beliefs! ... Just great.

C'mon, we're talking about the necessity of ... -- you hearing Jesus' voice -- Him "knowing" you -- you following Jesus ... in John 10:27 ... These are the conditions for one to benefit from John 10:28-29 Deadly filtering Don't filter the NT through whatever denomination you're involved in!

The KJV has been used way beyond incredible over the years by God's people. Butski, the brethren need to be wary of such little nicities as this: Matthew 24:25 KJV says, "before" ... as "in the past, previously". WRONG Matthew 24:25 NKJV says, "beforehand" ... as "in da future". CORRECT

Dey iz conditions to be met, obviously ... to benefit from da next verses: 28 and 29! Hey, I just decided to send you a NT, but I'll need your address. It's far more important that any denomination or spiritual experience!

Yes, as described in the NT, and which is still applicable today. I guess at this point, one could say, "God does not change!" (Malachi and Hebrews 13:8) You've been there and done that (according to you) ... in some kind of false congregation, and you hit the road, Jack. But, please don't...

Aaaah, you like my "habitual sinner" terminology. But, dost thou understandeth that there are multitudes in the churches today who are habitual sinners?

Yes, there have been myriads of so-called "believers" throughout the years who were NOT faithful, i.e. obedient.

Please forgive me if I don't have them all here, but these are my 3 favorites ... 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 • “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor...

Sorry, for offending your sensibilities ... I just didn't realize that you are a spiritual guru, expert, genius, etc. Again, sorry, SIR. (Aaaaah, best not ask what SIR stands for.)
