The Holy Spirit even rested temporarily on Saul. 1 Samuel 10:10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. 11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he...

That is good, but so too do the devils have this basic belief. James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. God is love, which means God is your love. Most people have material goods as their love/god. 1 John 4:8 He that loveth not...

Ezekiel 3:23 declares that if someone who is sinner changes his ways to being just, and complying with the Lord and His ways, that individual shall then surely live. These repentant individuals from the OT times would then seem to me to qualify as part of the sheepfold with eternal life...

The difference between your perspective ForestGreenCook as to how the Lord cleanses us from our sins is that you see it as an immediate act upon accepting the Lord having died for your sins while you continue to sin; whereas I see it as the Lord having died for my sins should I ultimately choose...

If they care about their cat, maybe they have potential.

I hope you are not offended by this, but it is because we all serve two masters, Mammon and God, as to why we cannot lay on hands and cure people. We do not have a full faith in God, if we also trust in mammon. Peter, head of the church in Jerusalem, who when the lame beggar asked him for alms...

Hello ForestGreenCook, If I sin, which I do now and then, I then do not deceive myself by claiming to be born again, as scripture clearly indicates the born again in God are incapable of sinning. Likewise, if I see that I continue to sin because I do not have the faith of Christ in love, truth...

Accusations and insinuations; are these believing in/on Christ/His Way?

You were asking whether I was referring to the noun faith, or the verb faith. Was yours not a baited question for an ulterior motive? Once again I repeat, I provided my definition for what faith in/on Christ truly represents; can you now provide us with your noun or verb definition for what true...

I think what you are trying to get at is your being justified while you are still sinning, and thus not believing sufficiently in Christs Way of love, truth, faith, justice, and peace, in order to keep you from sinning now and in the near future. I also am in this current lack of faith position...

I elaborated on what I believe to be true faith in/on Christ is. Maybe you can elaborate on your version.

Hello Pisteuo, I am referring to the verb, as in the action of placing ones faith in something and thereby acting upon it. Jesus believed in love, truth, justice, peace, and other qualities/actions, and went to the cross conveying His faith in these. We too need to believe in Christs Way, His...

Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins, so that those of us who wanted could repent and change direction away from sinning toward the Lords Way (love, truth, justice, peace, etc.) We are delivered away from death for our sins, when we believe in Christs belief (His gospel), of love...

The law is put aside whenever someone puts their faith in love, truth, justice, humility, as that which is Christ's faith, His Way. When we put our faith in Christ's Way, the written law becomes irrelevant, as our actions will fulfill the law through our new nature.

Is it that Christ had to have faith in order for us to be justified, or is it that we may become justified in our faith as that which Christ had? Which makes more sense; that Christ, the Word, the only begotten son of God had to have faith in order for us to be justified in Him, or that we...

I hope you don't mind my interrupting here ForestGreenCook, but Ephesians 2:8 terminates in a colon, with Ephesians 2:9 completing the statement: where "that not of yourselves: Not of works, lest any many should boast." This therefore does not mean what you have stated that it is not our faith...

If someone believes in truth, justice, humility, love towards their neighbor; are they then not going to have corresponding acts towards their neighbor? As such, one who then has these qualities displays the obedience of their belief in Christs Way. Romans 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by...

The just shall live by their belief in being just. Habakkuk 2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. Galatians 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

It's interesting to see how many here do not believe they're going to have to give account for every single derogatory remark they have made here, many of which against the Holy Ghost. Do you actually believe you believe in Christ with your contradictory behavior? Matthew 12:36 But I say unto...

What faith on Christ means to me is to believe in what Christ believed and preached and lived, which was and is to love ones neighbor, be just with everyone, be truthful with all, be humble with one another, and especially with God. To simply say you believe in Christ, and then do not believe in...
