Shalom.
The verse here does not say that you must demonstrate the Holy Spirit in order to prove that you have the Holy Spirit.
Shalom.
Jacob
I said
You have a lot of personal rules you go by.
Shalom.
Perhaps this is true. But I do not know what you mean meaning I do not know what you are speaking in reference to, nor do I know what you speak in reference to as I have not thought about what personal rules I have.
Shalom.
Jacob
I said
When you have rules that don't come from the bible, then you have personal rules. contrary to the bible.
Shalom.
It is possible to have rules that agree with the Bible, if you want to have rules. I am not seeking to have rules. If I have any I do not know what they are.
Shalom.
Jacob
I said

This is good.
Shalom.

Well you have fallen from grace then.
Gal 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
Gal 5:3
And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
Gal 5:4
You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
Shalom.
I read the Bible (pretty much) daily. Do you see anything wrong with this? You asked me.
Shalom.

I said
But not the new testament. Because Jesus says not to go by the old testament.
Jhn 10:8
“All who ever came before Me[fn] are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

I believe that you misunderstand this verse.
Shalom.

I really don't care what you think. After talking to you.
