The Bible says, we're to be ready to give an answer of the hope that's in us. When
we're asked. (Paraphrased)
we're asked. (Paraphrased)
How is it that you can call yourself a "Christian"?
Why are you here?
1 Peter 3:15 "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:?
What else should I call myself?
To trade and gain with those who have.
Are you placing your total trust in Christ's finished work on the cross for your right standing/justification before GOD and trust Him to carry you across the wire of eternity, or are you placing some of your trust/faith/confidence in yourself, foolishlessly thinking that your puny attempts at personal righteousness could possibly help in any way and add anything to what He has done? To believe so, is to say that Christ's blood was not good enough.
Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
No flesh will climb up a ladder to heaven and then boast of what they have accomplished. To even imagine this brings despite to the Spirit of grace.
1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1Co 1:29 That no flesh should glory[boast] in his presence.
Like the time you offered to fistfight JohnW? That was you wasn't it?
When you lie, I call you a liar. Would you rather I say this to you?
Acts 13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
You have just admitted OSAS is wrong.

"We" is a plural pronoun....not a singular one. It isn't presumption for members of the body to know they are IN CHRIST and have the mind of Christ. It isn't something we need to prove, nor should we bother to try. It's like trying to explain the color blue to the blind.

You've just proved you are wrong as usual. :rotfl:

Or, should I say you just proved you are a liar? :think:

It is presumption for those who are not in Christ to think they are by reading scriptures, when denying Acts 2:38 being required.
LA
You are the one who threw all of the spears when I shared the vision which the Lord gave me.
LA
The Lord did not give you a vision. That you claim He did means you are delusional. You're in the cult club....certainly not the first to make such claims.
Acts 2:38 was a murder indictment to 'you men of Israel' and them alone.
A person today cannot legitimately inject themselves into that unique historical event.
Paul is the Apostle to the nations.
