461 | Isn't believing Christ for salvation suf | John 3:3 | Ken hepting | 90900 | ||
But that has to do with seeing the kingdom of God not one's salvation. Please make the distinction between seeing the kingdom and the provision for salvation that requires nothing from you/us except to receive it.. Think of the many people who have never heard the name of Christ yet will be in Heaven....See Rev. 20.12 This is no trick question. | ||||||
462 | Isn't believing Christ for salvation suf | John 3:3 | Ken hepting | 90899 | ||
Isn't believing Christ for salvation su....Completed should read:'Isn't believing Christ for salvation sufficient?' Now would you care to re-respond to the question? |

Sure, why not. Nothing we've said has done injury to the other. There will be times when we reflect back on words spoken that they may be helpful when in a quandry and need an answer.. I'd like to think I've given good Biblical reasoning that will challenge you to go deeper to see the kingdom and come away from subordinate issues that only clog up the works. There's much I see differently having seen it and understand what the "Pearl of great price" is. Believe me, I never knew and had no idea....and there hasn't been much fellowship around since. Do you read Oswald Chambers? |

Where does it say that Ken? The whole new Testament, in context with itself. |

Oh Boy, where to begin? Agreement? Between who? The disodedient with the obedient? How about disobedient with the disobedient? Of course you don't know who is and who isn't. First lets be clear about Satan and what he can and cannot do then you might want to re-examine what you saw as healings. Understand, I believe in devine healing. I am from Pentecostal persuasion. Satan can't heal. Satan, with God's permission, can afflict. He can also lift the affliction when people pray thus making it seem a healing from God. God also, in some cases, heals when the name of Jesus is invoked. He is honoring His Son's name regardless of the condition of faith of those who prayed. But that is His good pleasure to do so when He sees fit and not because of anything on our part. In Matthew 7 it says what: V22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never 'knew' you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 'Knowing' you/me in this case equates with intimacy. To know Him is to have His mind. If I came to you for healing and we both agreed for it do you think I should receive my healing if I am secretly living in adultery? If not, why not? We agreed didn't we? Perhaps the whole church was in agreement for that matter. Ok, lets assume God does heal me. What does that say to my mind/heart concerning my adulterous behavior and relationship to God? Now lets go beyond that to assume the whole church finds out about my adulterous behavior. Where does that leave them with God concerning their own untoward behavior? No, sorry, can't agree with your explanation of "unconditional" agreement. The examples you posit aren't valid either. Both were before Jesus and the cross and both from a different functioning of the Holy Spirit. If you are going to use Naaman as an example why use use Elisha? How about the floating axe head miracle? Seen any of that kind of thing lately? And the woman who needed healing but wasn't a Jew? How about the one who was who had an issue of blood for twelve years. She came to Jesus and He healed her. Her faith was no greater than the Syrophenician woman, was it? Why then should Jesus not heal them both? Both happenings were before the cross. Point is those healings had to do with a display by Jesus of the wonders and Glory of the kingdom of God Jesus spent 3 1/2 years explaining. "If you ask anything in my name you will have it". Really? Does He mean all we have to do is agree OR reside -abide in Him- in His Kingdom? At the center of Christianity is perfection and that by a discipline of the soul made possible by the healing of our spirit by Jesus' vicarious death that gives access for the Holy Spirit to quicken our mortal bodies but only as the Father sees fit to do so for His purposes and that Jesus Christ be glorified. Our responsibilty in the matter is to handle properly what God trusts us with, no matter what it is and it doesn't seem to be much, these days. Having His Mind in our daily lives is what that is all about. 2 Tim 4.2 "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine." Long suffering can come in may flavors, I'm afraid. But keep your face washed at all times. |

Very Good. But it only applies to those who reside in His Kingdom learning to become 'son's brought into Glory'. Otherwise if God healed because we pray, with no regard to our "becoming" it would be an indorsement/condoning of our unrectified conduct/soul, thus damning us to a Spiritual death. A very permanent action. The physical being only a temporary one. Ken Hepting |

why do we make God' word so complicated? Because we attempt to justify and own way of living while calling ourselves “Christian”. We claim Christianity yet are so blatantly ignorant of the reason for Jesus Christ aside from redemption….which is something we had nothing to with except need it. Prov. 13; 15 tells us that the way of a transgressor is hard. God' word is true and the truth shall make you free. One thing we must realize is this; we must be sincere in what we do for Christ and remember only what we do for Christ will last. And when we read Gods word we won’t understand everything now as we read, but one day we'll understand it better by and by................ Yes but the transgressor mentioned hear applies to the one has entered into something and then violated it. In the Christian’s case it has to do with not entering the kingdom of God as He desires -See Jn 3.3,5- while attempting to have the benefits of His kingdom. Won’t work! He,the Christian, violates the word of God. Jesus says “Come unto me”; and then, "Take My yoke upon you”. We go to Him for salvation and then no further. We don’t take His Yoke because we really don’t desire His “Government” -Yoke- to be something in/on our lives. Consequently we live a contradiction when we say we are Christian that brings confusion and difficulty when trying to understand His word and be blessed by it. God’s word is indeed truth and we can be ‘sincerely wrong’ about that truth if we don’t appropriate His provision for finding it. Since it can only be found by the Faith OF Jesus Christ and that Faith to be found in His Kingdom, where we ought to find ourselves if we are “rightly” sincere? It is the Mind of God that is found IN the Faith of Jesus Christ. Paul said “Let this Mind be in you……” Jesus said: “Be perfect as your Father in Heaven”. When His Faith is in you will begin to see that it is the ONLY Faith that is pleasing to God AFTER you become a Christian. -Heb 11.6- And without faith -*that Faith- it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him…..with Himself! Then “works should follow based on the Mind of God; the Faith of the Lord Jesus. What did Jesus say but “I only do what I see my Father do…” So we can readily see that without His Faith it is impossible to please Father since it is with His Mind that we do so. -Jn 17.11- “…that they may be one, as we are”.- The responsibility lay with us to continually be found pleasing to Father in the way of perseverance in overcoming in this life. And how do we overcome but by the Blood of the Lamb! It’s a Love affair initiated by Him. A man’s works will reveal what faith motivates him. -James 2.20- -*that Faith-emphasis mine- It is NOT so much what we do for Christ that will last since we can be functioning from “self-motivation”. We must be as Jesus, the man, and then the doing will be a giving of ourselves as Father moves, by His Holy Spirit, upon our hearts. One can’t ‘do’ without, ‘being’. |
