[Steve asked you for chapter and verse. You say, 'how about common sense.' Since this is a StudyBibleForum, let's stick with chapter and verse. Do you have one to offer Steve on the subject he requested? --Hank] There is no chapter and verse many times that speak with specifics when explaining ones understanding of scripture. Most of the time it is scriptures that paint the picture and must be taken in context. Chapter and verse for what he asked is silly. How's that? She said strength...I said it should be wisdom. That's my opinion based on the scripture[s]. Now what's the need for "chapter and verse" except to be disagreeable...That's sad. And as far as me pontificating to Steve... He's presented himself to me as one who is arrogant. |

[Evangelica was more correct concerning gifts. Consider the following] Context, Steve, context. I don't believe you know how to "discern" when you read to learn what the scriptures are saying. Consequently your "wisdom" and word of "knowledge suffers. For instance: It is the Grace of God, not Graces. It is the gift from God, the Holy Spirit.. who gives gifts to men. If you wish to say being an Apostle is a gift of God you would be correct but it is an Adminstration and not a gift in the sense of the Holy Ghost who adiministers gifts to edify the Church and build one up in the Holy Ghost. Get my drift? [Romans 15:13 (ESV) May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.] Yes...And. The above mentions joy. What "joy" would that be, Steve? [Ephes. 3:16 (ESV) that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,] .....In your inner being. Do you know how that happens? When you see it [with your spiritual eyes] you will understand it is His power of Himself in you functioning and not power that He gives you...And no you are not made into a robot because the Spirit is always subject to the Prophet.1 Cor. 14:32 (NASB) and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; Read 1 Corth 14.(NASB) For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries......The One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself...." I.e., builds himself up in the Holy Ghost. It is Him in you and upon you that is the strength, not just something He gives you should you be lacking the Mind of God. [Maybe you'd like to correct me for saying Mind of God instead of Mind os Christ?] [You said: [Strength should be a "Wisdom" as to when to speak combine with what to say.."word of knowledge".] Chapter and verse? How about common sense when reading the text in context? You should know what the context is by now. I don't know anyone who needs strength to speak except the one with larengitis [sp?]. Therefore I conclude wisdom be the thing that is needed as to when we should speak the word of knowledge. |

"The Holy Spirit does not give us "powers". He gives us gifts." All of the Holy Spirit is given to us as the "Unction to Function". He is the 'Linen Garment' spoken of in Esk.44.17,18. Jesus baptises with the Holy Ghost and with fire. See Acts 2. That still happens today. "The gift of discernment",...yes "the gift of understanding",...I think no. "the gift of teaching, or preaching, or encouraging, or serving...ect.....None of the these are gifts and serving is more of a fruit. "The Holy Spirit also empowers us to live for God No. That you do because you love God. The love you have for Him should be sufficient. "by guiding and teaching us what scripture says when we are reading it..... Yes. "He also give us strength to tell others about the gospel message and helps us remember the verses to share with others." Strength should be a "Wisdom" as to when to speak combine with what to say.."word of knowledge". Can you see why the baptism [per Acts 2] is so important? Nine Gifts: 1 Cor. 12:7-10 (KJV) But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. Word of wisdom Word of knowledge Faith Gifts of healing Working of miracles; Prophecy Discerning of spirits Divers kinds of tongues Interpretation of tongues: Five administrations: Apostles, Pastors, Teachers, Evangelists, Helps. Three offices; Prophet, Priest, King. Hope this has been a "Help" to you. Ken |

I believe MH deserves another reading. "When any person is converted to God, then the veil of ignorance is taken away." ...Meaning: when the job is finished that he/she is fully converted "The condition of those who enjoy and believe the gospel is happy, for the heart is set at liberty to run the ways of God’s commandments. They have light, and with open face they behold the glory of the Lord." ..Commandments...things to be followed and adhered to that we become what?...Perfected? "Christians should prize and improve these privileges." ...Until what happens?...Perfection? Matthew 5:48 (NASB) "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. .... "And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing"...James. "We should not rest contented without knowing the transforming power of the gospel, by the working of the Spirit,....... [is he going to say a journey?] ..BRINGING US to seek to be like the temper and tendency of the glorious gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and into union with Him."....Matt. Henry Into what? UNION did He say? Is that anything like "Joint heirship"" |

Matthew Henry's theology is good. If you understood it, you would realize that he equates salvation with conversion, even as I do. Well then you if you understand him you should realize we are saved to be converted into something we weren't before we were saved, right? I mean one can't even see it before he's saved, right? That's the implication of MH's wording. He speaks of one succeeding in the journey, not failing. It is a journey in your thinking, isn't it. [Therefore the change from glory to glory is as a son along the entire course of our Christian lives. It is not a change unto future sonship.] Hmmm...? That's interesting... John 1:12 (KJV) But as many as received him, to them gave he power TO BECOME the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: |

108 | Is the sin nature a substance or mindset | Phil 3:9 | Ken hepting | 100738 | ||
[To say we came out of a divine nature would require a vestige of that divine nature to be in each of us, thereby making us already gods in a certain respect and worthy of worship, glory, and praise. This is not the case. We are created beings (Gen 1:27) with no divine nature or tie to a divine nature beyond the Holy Spirit indwelling us when we believe.] That's an overkill to be sure. "Because we have come out of the divine nature, which chooses to be divine, we must choose to be divine, to be OF God, to be one with God, loving and living as he loves and lives, and so be partakers of the divine nature. Otherwise we perish." See John 17 because that's all McDonald is speaking of here. "Man cannot originate this life. It must be shown him, and he must choose it" ....by his own freewill that the Holy Spirit can direct. John 14:26 (NASB) "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. John 15:26 (NASB) "When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness of Me [Wrong. Again Jesus is not the Father of it. He is the Author and Perfecter as you have stated. There is no Scripture saying He is the Father of sonship. Only God the Father can be that father. As for Jesus being the vehicle of sonship (i.e. the one through whom we receive sonship), I already gave John 1:12. I would also add Eph 1:5.] You're tough to keep from warping... Who is the "everlasting Father" in Isaiah? Who is Emmanuel with us? [#3. If I'm understanding you correctly, you are saying that Jesus is the Son only because of His finished earthly work. And that God, foreseeing that completed earthly work, was willing to say Jesus was His son.] Sure. As I stated somewhere, there is no time in God's thinking. Everything with God is in the present tense. He KNEW Jeremiah before he was born, etc. This places the foreknowledge of God at His disposal that He give direction to accomplish what He wants done to whomever is "adandoned" to Him. It's not pedestination as you may think I mean. Just foreknewldge. He knew the outcome of Jesus' life beforehand..Yours and mine, also. Remember Proverbs 16:9 (NASB) The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. The mind of man in this instance was Jesus' mind set on the purposes of God because of the ..."JOY set before Him..". God directed His steps. That said, where should our minds be set that we find favor with God that we become son's with new bodies? .....Pharaoh's mind was also set in Exodus. What did God do with him? Can't you see freewill in this? [Again the answer is no. The Son was given to mankind. He was always the Son as His relation in the Triunity of the Godhead. (Romans 8:3; Galatians 4:4-6; 1 John 4:9-14)] The Son eguals the "Word" who laid aside His heavenly attributes to become Jesus..."Thou shalt call His name Jesus..."....no longer the "Word". I don't think it necesssary I repeat my above refutation of your thinking. Jesus, the man is the new habitation for the Word. Now the [Word] has a Glorified human body to dwell in. [#4. You are confusing the work of sanctification (which is a learning process) with our adoption as sons (which is already accomplished--Romans 8:15; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 1:5).] I'm not confusing anything. If it's a learning process then it's not finished is it? Seems you're the one confused. Why is the whole world groaning and still waiting for that to happen...Hmmm? Chambers is deep, too deep for those who don't understand the Kingdom of God and what becoming a son means. Lewis I never read that much of Him to have an opinion. |

109 | "My witnesses?" | Acts 1:8 | Ken hepting | 100732 | ||
I understand, Mom.. In light of what you just wrote, i.e., believers who don't pursue, can you see something in that as it applies to John 3.3,5 and the consequences of such neglect? Check your statement with:Hebrews 2:3 (KJV) How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; [Note the word is neglect and NOT reject.] |

111 | An Arminian Consensus in the Forum? | 1 John 2:2 | Ken hepting | 100709 | ||
I've stated this in another thread using others words. It makes a lot of sense since Jesus died for all in the world. I think in reverse when I say all are saved as a consequence but damnation comes in when you are told about Jesus and you walk away from it. John 9:41 (KJV) Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. |

[Other spiritual gifts, such as healing, love, joy, prophecy, and answers to prayer, also make up Pentecostals' experience of God.] The "Handbook of Denominations" is off on the above Mararios. Love and Joy are fruit, not gifts. That surprises me they could make such a mistake. |

115 | Who are the Pentecostals? | Acts 1:8 | Ken hepting | 100705 | ||
I'm a Penetecostal in as much as I believe in what happened at Pentecost is still pertinent and necessary to today's Christian life. For one to be made perfect in God and do that which God purposes in our life i.e., become a son unto Him, the power to do so must come from the outside. Read Acts 1 [the whole chapter] if you're just saved. See where the Lord gives instructions to the disciples [who are born again in John 20] then make some comparisons with what I've posted below. Now Ref. with Ezekiel 44:17 (NASB) "And it shall be that when they enter at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and wool shall not be on them while they are ministering in the gates of the inner court and in the house. Because: Ezekiel 44:18 (NASB) "....... they shall not gird themselves with anything which makes them sweat. In other words God won't tolerate our self effort [represented here by "wool"] mingled with His Holy Spirit activity [Linen]. Oil burning here and not wick burning. Now what does Acts 1 say about being "clothed/Endued"? |

118 | Was this man saved without Baptism | Luke 23:40 | Ken hepting | 100693 | ||
That's right, I did. That's how I read him in an objective way. You read him your way. I think I'm right and have proven it so in my own life. [What do you think Matthew Henry meant when he said "converted?" A few clear sentences will do better than a long string of murky ones, Ken, if you please. --Hank] I'll do my best, Hank. Converted can't mean "just saved" because too many "saved" aren't. Is that deep enough not to be "murky"? Too many "saved people" who claim to be His Church are going to be in for rude awakening at Rapture time. It might well be the "Greatest Awakening". If you still think I'm wrong about that consider that Jesus is coming for Church without "spot or wrinkle".....Know any? |

119 | Was this man saved without Baptism | Luke 23:40 | Ken hepting | 100680 | ||
[We were all baptized. It is completed. Not one is left out. Your interpretation of John 1:12 as a gradual process from belief to sonship is invalid.] Nope..From glory to Glory He changes us. 2 Cor. 3:18 (KJV) But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. "When any person is converted to God, then the veil of ignorance is taken away. The condition of those who enjoy and believe the gospel is happy, for the heart is set at liberty to run the ways of God’s commandments. They have light, and with open face they behold the glory of the Lord. Christians should prize and improve these privileges. We should not rest contented without knowing the transforming power of the gospel, by the working of the Spirit, bringing us to seek to be like the temper and tendency of the glorious gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and into union with Him."....Matt. Henry Notice Henry is saying "when a person is converted"...Not just saved. A saved person is made innocent. Now he must be made pure. Surely his theology is ok in your estemation? I think you are invalid, Steve. You don't know what imputation and impartation mean. If you do then you should see that one is immediate and the other as you can handle it. |

120 | Was this man saved without Baptism | Luke 23:40 | Ken hepting | 100663 | ||
[When we are saved we are baptized by the Holy Spirit, inwardly ... it is automatic (Romans 6) ... then we have the option of the outward baptism.] I'd have an easier time of this if you said we received Christ and Him by means of the Holy Spirit at the time of new birth; Our being born again. [See John 20.22] But that isn't a baptism into something but a receiving of a divine nature. Jesus then baptises us with the Holy Spirit per Acts [2] for the purpose of becoming His Church. Are we baptised into the Body of Christ at the new birth? I believe so but Paul in Romans 6 links the two as normal Christian experiences. The first one as a necessity to being a part Christ and the second unto the ability to becoming a son. See: John 1:12 (NASB-U) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, Unfortuately not all seek to become...Only to be saved. |
