1 | True disagreement? | Eph 1:13 | charis | 27822 | ||
Dear Joe! Greetings in Jesus' name! Thank you for a very respectful post of disagreement. :-) I am not as worried about those people that have been used 'most powerfully' as I am about the people that have been used the 'least powerfully!' I see many as saints that don't manifest completed saintliness. Are they saved? Or not? I see that the Word describes the baptism of the Holy Spirit as both instantaneous and progressive. I cite the observation of our colleague Tim Moran that the word pledge used in Ephesians 1:14 and 2 Corinthians 1:22 is a promise toward a future completion. You seem to be stating that it must be only one or the other. Friend I agree with you about the 'dreaded' two-tiered Christianity, but I am also wary of 'monomaniacal' dogma. You said that you agree that all the work is not done at conversion. It this progressive sanctification? If so, then I would say that we are more in agreement than you think! :-) Blessings, my brother, to you and yours this good season. May the Lord enrich your ministry to the lost and to the saved. In Christ Jesus, charis |

2 | True disagreement? | Eph 1:13 | Mommapbs | 28123 | ||
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ! Since I believe there is more agreement among us than disagreement, let's get this unanswered question off the list! We are unified in Christ . . . But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it says: "When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men." Ephesians 4:7,8 whether we choose to recognize them, use them or not - they are ours! Thanks be to God for His matchless gift in Christ Jesus, our salvation! Blessisngs to you all - Momma |
