882 | Problems w/ Carnal Christian Teaching? | Rom 7:14 | Radioman2 | 92052 | ||
'The Lordship Controversy and the Carnal Christian Teaching (Part 2)' 'Ernest Reisinger' 'Let me give a short review of our last study on the Carnal Christian teaching: '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching is primarily based on an erroneous interpretation of a single passage of Scripture (1 Cor. 3:1-4). '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching perverts many other doctrines of the Christian faith. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching separates the two main doctrines of the Christian faith--justification and sanctification. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching separates the new covenant by making the act of submission to Christ optional--what God has joined together let no man or teaching put asunder. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching makes holiness, obedience and discipleship optional. See John 10:26-28; 14:21-23; 15:10; 1 Pet. 1:155,16; Heb. 12:14; Titus 2:10-14. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching breeds antinomianism and gives a false standard of what a Christian really is. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching is the mother of many of the second-work-of-grace errors. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching actually teaches two ways to heaven: one, the carnal-Christian way and two, the spiritual-Christian way--whichever your prefer. '. The "Carnal Christian" teachers ignore the biblical distinction between the grounds of salvation and the grounds of assurance. '. The "Carnal Christian" teaching breeds a false spirituality and Pharisaism in the so-called "spiritual Christians" who have measured up to some man-made standard of spirituality. There ought to be no professed "spiritual Christians," much less "super-spiritual" ones! George Whitefield, a man who lived very close to his Savior, prayed all his days, "Let me begin to be a Christian." And another Christian has truly said, "In the life of the most perfect Christian there is every day renewed occasion for self-abhorrence, for repentance, for renewed application to the blood of Christ, for application of the rekindling of the Holy Spirit." 'Many are comfortable living sinful lives while hiding behind a teaching that is not biblical, comfortably going to hell on a false teaching.' ____________________ The Lordship Controversy and the Carnal Christian Teaching (Part 2) Ernest Reisinger (To whom it may concern: Please do not ask me to explain what Reisinger means.

886 | Psalm 37:24 | Rom 8:1 | Radioman2 | 77718 | ||
He who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life. Revelation 3:5 "It is unfortunate that this passage in Revelation has become a focal point of controversy. The result has been a fixation on what the verse does not say rather than what it does say. This verse was never intended as a warning. Within its context there is nothing negative or foreboding about these words. In fact, it makes a strong statement in favor of eternal security. It is a passage of encouragement and praise. "The comments are directed to a group of faithful believers from the church in Sardis. Unlike the majority of the folks in their congregation, this handful of members had remained unsoiled by the world around them. The verse in question contains Christ's commendation to this group for their consistent walk. "To assume from what is said here that God will possibly erase names from the book of life is to read into the text a concept clearly not present. At best, it is an argument from silence, for the verse simply reads, "And I will not erase his name from the book of life." If this statement raises doubts for some about eternal security, they would do well to search the Scriptures for an answer. But to base one's answer to this important question on this verse is to adopt a method of study with the potential of leading to all kinds of problematic conclusions." (...) "The good news is, God's pencil has no eraser. Before you breathed your first word, God knew how you would respond to His offer of grace. According to His foreknowledge, He wrote your name in the book of life. And there it shall remain forever. Jesus said it this way: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. John 10.27-28 "And as if that were not clear enough: "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. John 10.29 " (To read the entire article, which I suggest you do before you post questions, go to: http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html) |

887 | Psalm 37:24 | Rom 8:1 | Radioman2 | 77725 | ||
In a previous post (ID# 30239)someone wrote: 'The question has been debated, "Did Judas go to hell?" It seems to me the question could have been better resolved had it been considered from the perspective of whether Judas lost his salvation or whether he [n]ever had it to begin with. The weight of evidence in the New Testament points to the latter conclusion. Judas never "backslid" because he never "slid forward" -- he never was a truly regenerate disciple of Jesus Christ.' But I say unto you: Judas was definitely saved. Following are the Scripture passages that prove it beyond a doubt. NASB Luke 22:3 And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve. NASB John 13:2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon, to betray Him, KJV John 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? NASB John 13:26-27 So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, [the son] of Simon Iscariot. After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. AMPLIFIED John 13:26-27 So when He had dipped the morsel of bread [into the dish], He gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son. Then after [he had taken] the bit of food, Satan entered into and took possession of [Judas]. KJV John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition [Judas Iscariot -- the one who is now doomed to destruction, destined to be lost (AMPLIFIED)]; that the scripture might be fulfilled. KJV Acts 1:25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. If you will carefully read the entire book of 1 John, you will see that all of the above verses about Judas show that he possessed every evidence of geniune saving faith. NOT! |

888 | Where is "backsliding" in the NT? | Rom 8:1 | Radioman2 | 77726 | ||
Can you find any form of the *word* backsliding in the NT? My question is not: Can you find the *concept* of backsliding in the NT? (The word Trinity is found nowhere in the Bible, yet the concept is Biblical. By contrast, we cannot say the word backslide is not found in the Bible. It is in the Bible! Backslide is found in the OT, but not in the New.) My question is not: CAN YOU FIND *SYNONYMS* FOR 'BACKSLIDING' IN THE NT? My question remains: Can you find any form of the *word* backsliding in the NT? Can you find the English word 'backsliding' (b-a-c-k-s-l-i-d-i-n-g) or any of its forms (e.g., backslide, backslidden, backslider) in the NT? If you can, show me the book, show me the chapter, and show me the verse where any form of the word backsliding appears in the NT. |

Hebrews 10:39 (NKJV) But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul. 10:39 "draw back to perdition. The writer expresses confidence that believing readers ("we") will not be counted among "those" who fall away to destruction" (MacArthur Study Bible). 1 John 2:19 (NKJV) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 2:19 "They went out from us...none of them were of us. The first characteristic mentioned of antichrists, i.e., false teachers and deceivers (vv. 22-26), is that they depart from the faithful. They arise from within the church and depart from true fellowship and lead people out with them. "The verse also places emphasis on the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. Those genuinely born again endure in faith and fellowship and the truth (1 Cor. 11:19; 2 Tim. 2:12). The ultimate test of true Christianity is endurance (Mark 13:13; Heb. 3:14) The departure of people from the truth and the church is their unmasking" (MacArthur Study Bible). |

What we have here is a failure to communicate. Nowhere in Matthew 24:12 is there any form of THE ENGLISH WORD b-a-c-k-s-l-i-d-i-n-g. I say again: If you can, show me the book, show me the chapter, and show me the verse where any form of the word "backsliding" appears in the NT. - - - - - - - - - - Once again, nowhere in the NT do we find the *word* "backsliding". What we do find in the NT is the English translation of the Greek word for "apostasy" (Apostasia (Strong's #646) defined as "a falling away, defection, apostasy." The English translation of the Greek word appears twice in the KJV New Testament. It is translated "to forsake" in Acts 21:21 and "falling away" in 2 Thess. 2:3. Apostasy defined and summarized: "Apostasy, Summary: Apostasy, "falling away," is the act of professed Christians who deliberately reject revealed truth "(1) as to the deity of Jesus Christ, and "(2) redemption through His atoning and redeeming sacrifice (1 John 4:1-3; Philippians 3:18 ; 2 Peter 2:1). Apostasy differs from error concerning truth, which may be the result of ignorance (Acts 19:1-6) or heresy, which may be due to the sphere of Satan (2 Timothy 2:25,26) both of which may consist with true faith. The apostate is perfectly described in (2 Timothy 4:3,4). Apostates depart from the faith, but not from the outward profession of Christianity (2 Timothy 3:5). Apostate teachers are described in: 2 Timothy 4:3; 2 Peter 2:1-19; Jude 1:4,8,11-13,16 . "Apostasy in the church, as in Israel (Isaiah 1:5,6; 5:5-7) is irremediable, and awaits judgment (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 ; 2 Peter 2:17,21; Jude 1:11-15; Revelation 3:14-16.)"

893 | Holy Spirit | Rom 8:9 | Radioman2 | 77838 | ||
Question:What are the Conditions for the Holy Spirit to Dwell, to start working in ones heart? - - - - - - - - - - Answer (short): 'C. CONDITIONS FOR BEING *FILLED*. '1) *A dedicated life*. '2) *An undefeated life*. '3) *A dependent life* Answer (full): The Holy Spirit -- baptized by, indwelt by, filled with 1) Upon salvation we are *baptized* (placed) into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit. NASB 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. AMPLIFIED 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by [means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit. 2) Also, at the time of our salvation, we are *indwelt* by the Holy Spirit. NASB Romans 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. AMPLIFIED Romans 8:9 But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God]. [Rom. 8:14.] NASB Ephesians 1 13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory. AMPLIFIED Ephesians 1 13In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit. 14That [Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance [the firstfruits, the pledge and foretaste, the down payment on our heritage], in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring [complete] possession of it--to the praise of His glory. 3) We are also commanded to be *filled* with the Spirit. Eph. 5:18 NASB Ephesians 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, AMPLIFIED Ephesians 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be filled and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit. [Prov. 23:20.] While all believers are indwelt by the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:9), it is obvious that not all believers at all times are *filled* (controlled and empowered) by the Spirit (Eph. 5:18). ' X. THE FILLING OF THE SPIRIT. (...) 'B. CHARACTERISTICS. 1) Filling is commanded (Eph 5:18, the verb is imperative). 2) Filling is repeated (Acts 2:4; 4:31). 3) Filling produces Christlikeness (Gal 5:22-23). 'C. CONDITIONS FOR BEING FILLED. '1) *A dedicated life*. Yielding to the Spirit's control, though commanded, is voluntary and necessitates an act of dedication. This includes two aspects: initial dedication (Rom 12:1-2) and continual dedication of one's life (Rom 8:14). 2) *An undefeated life*. Victory over sin in daily experience is necessary in being controlled by the Spirit (Eph 4:30). This means responding to the light of the Word as it is continually revealed (1 John 1:7). 3) *A dependent life* (Gal 5:16). 'D. CONSEQUENCES. Being filled or controlled by the Spirit means: 1) A Christlike character (Gal 5:22-23). 2) Worship and praise (Eph 5:18-20). 3) Submissiveness (Eph 5:21). 4) Service (John 7:37-39).' (Page 2064, the Ryrie Study Bible: Expanded Edition, Moody, 1986, 1995.) Eph. 5:18 "be filled with the Spirit. Paul has taught in this epistle that all believers are sealed with the Spirit when they believe (Eph. 1:13-14; 4:30), but not all are filled, since that depends on yieldedness to God's will (5:17). 'Filling' describes an experience that can be repeated (Acts 2:4; 4:31), and here, as in Acts, it is connected with joy, courage, spirituality and Christian character. Though contrasted with drunkenness, the filling of the Spirit compares the idea of control, either of wine over a person or the Spirit over the believer" (Ryrie Study Bible: Expanded Edition, note at Eph. 5:18). |

Romans 9:5 NIV Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of CHRIST, WHO IS GOD OVER ALL, forever praised! Amen. (Emphasis added.) Focus your witness on the deity of Jesus Christ. This is the main issue. Do not be sidetracked by such issues as blood transfusions, saluting the flag, and the like. Denial of the deity of Christ is the foundation upon which JW doctrine is built. After the deity of Christ, all else is secondary where convincing JWs is concerned. A well-trained JW will tie the average Christian into a theological pretzel in about five minutes. You must be prepared. There are several websites that will help you to prepare to witness to JWs, some of which are listed in this post. 'The first thing you say to a JW before you study with them is that you [do] not accept anything from the NWT as authoritative. But they won't accept any other Bible in their heart, even though they might allow you to use one. 'The NWT is so extremely biased and perverted, it is questionable if any Hebrew or Greek scholars worked on it. It is nothing more than a sectarian paraphrase, not a translation. 'No one uses the NWT except the JW's. 'JW's on the other hand will use nothing else! 'It has undergone many revisions. 'It is not a translation, but a corrupt sectarian paraphrase' (www.bible.ca/Jw-NWT.htm). Here is a list of related online resources. This list does not necessarily imply endorsement of all the contents on all of these websites. However, I have found these websites to be very useful. www.carm.org/witnesses.htm (Highly recommended.
