Paul is speaking to the Church at Galatia.
He is exhorting them to walk in the Spirit, so that they do not practice and fulfill the works of the flesh.
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:16-21
How can unbelievers who do not have the Spirit, walk in the Spirit?

Can you see through your computer who your talking to, what's in their hearts and what their doing? Maybe you should humble down. (See Philippians 2:1-11)
The only deceiver on this post is the one posting in bolded.......^^^^^ nothing but a false working for dogma......
Argueless quote:
Wrong. Everyone knows that DECEIVERS are LIARS as it is written;
.. We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. 1 John 2:3-6
But for you and your group, even lieing to the Holy Spirit is acceptable because you are OSAS.
...The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. Timothy 4:1-2

AMEN Blue.......the simplicity found in Christ.....and then twisted......by more than a handful on this site......also Twisting Galatians to say something it does not say..........it is tragic how Paul can write to saved people and discuss LOST people and how they live and or how the saved used to live and then it get twisted to say that saved people can lose salvation by applying the words that are directed at lost people unto the saved.......some of these views make me want to spew!

The Children of the Devil
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” John 8:42-47

...He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you HYPOCRITES; as it is written: “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.’ You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.” And he said to them: “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions! For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’ But you say that if a man says to his father or mother: ‘Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God), then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother. Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.” Mark 7:6-13
NOBODY here is gonna bother to read your wall of text.. ^^^
