I believe we have freedom in Christ.--not debatable. I believe also that all the spiritual blessings we receive from God come through faith..... not debatable also. However, we must live our faith as believers and that is where the road becomes narrow.

I think it all depends on what you mean by paying for it. Sometimes the meanings we attach to words may differ.

Yea. I hear these things even from the Pulpit But, for me, I do not think we should encourage these kind of questions. I believe that when we stay in the path -- i.e, stay in the light and walk in the light, the Holy Spirit will guide us aright. It is okay to desire to be filled with...

off course. it is a free gift. I have not said otherwise unless you do not understand my meaning in my posts.

The will of God for our life is for us to be holy and perfect as he is. -- so that we can be gathered together with the heavenly hosts ( see my post #119))

We can find the will of God for his creation in Ephesians 1: 9 -10 --- Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself; That in the dispensation of the fulness of times, he might gather together in one all things in Christ...

Yes. But I think for believers the two are tied together. You cannot take the free gift and leaving off the other while calling yourself a believer.

I think this is uncalled for Dino246

Yea. But we must also evangelise the baptism of Fire (of affliction) as part of the Way. It is part of the process of making us fit for the Lord. I have always liked the scripture that says, it was the Spirit that led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted and this happened immediately he...

Off course he was talking about people ---- being baptised with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. --definitely not the hell fire of eternal torment!

I read them but I strongly disagree. Let us leave it at that. Perhaps, when we come to understand the way to Perfection, we may agree.

You see, what the baptism of fire {of affliction) does is to separate the sin of the flesh which is figuratively referred here as the chaff from the spirit ( the wheat) to strengthen the spirit in the power of God to remain firm and steadfast in faith. The chaff is burned in an unquenchable...

Fire baptism is not a judgement but part of the way of the cross every believer will go through.

I tend to disagree. I have gone through some responses on this first page and I think Prigrimshope brought out some important facts that portray the meaning of being baptised with Fire. The way I see it is this: Every believer will be baptised with the Holy Spirit and with Fire. We...

And how does this make you a Christian?

I think, you cannot live with your family in isolation of your neighbour, therefore, we need to temper the understanding of the scripture you are referring to, with the lesson of the good Samaritan.

If your interpretation of that scripture is correct, why would God in all wisdom want to unite all as one in Christ.? just asking. We are perfected in one, the scripture says. In Christ, there is neither American nor Asian, neither European nor African etc. Is nationalism an expression of...

I still maintain my position that the 10 commandments are much relevant and still apply to us Christians. As I have said severally, it is the method of fulfilling them that have changed. --- It seems you are saying same thing in a way, if I understand you well. What I see more in your post is a...

If I may ask, what is your definition of idol? The mistake people make is to assume that Catholics worship Mary. I call it a mistake because I know they do not. And, this is a fact. I do not see anything wrong in honouring whom the father first honoured, blessed and favoured above all women...
