A biblical definition of the word ‘testify’ s in the immediate context following the phrase “bearing witness” v.27, thus we have the witness. The witness is to tell the truth about what he has seen firsthand. The role of the Holy Spirit is to attest to the truth and his disciples at the same...

John 15:26 KJV — But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: John 15:27 KJV — And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. Who shal testify or...

And yet it is the will of the Father to believe. Well, those who want to enter with their own efforts or their own ways or works cannot do so. The context saying of mere professions as many claim , hence qualified by Christ as workers of iniquity. What lesson being learned is that they have...

Well, correct if i am wrong, tge text us not about the drawing, illumination or conviction but testifying as the other passages would tell us. Thanks

Umm, you might try to re read the context. The given text is not what being said of what you are to convey. While it is true he is said to be a comforter, he is also the Spirit of truth, bearing witness as the disciples have to bear witness of what Christ did. To whom the disciples and the...

Not to be argumentative here but this is not what you have quoted as good proof text, 'afterall, trying' is not ' believing'. Big difference, unless you redefine faith as work. ;)

It is because many try to enter with their work so that they could not enter. However, we enter by faith, that is when we believe on Christ.

Subjective.

John 15:26 KJV — But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: The Holy Spirit proclaims Christ as something that one believes.

Yes, the Holy Spirit is working once we hear God's word. We beed to response by faith. Thanks

They were called so that they could come in faith. It is a public invitation.

The context is somewhat a description of a matured, tested faith which has been added with diligence like virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience and godliness etc vv.5-7 being acquired like of the apostles, hence, called it precious. For salvation requires faith ( no descriptive word) as in 1...

Called to be saints because of their faith in Christ

Yep, tulip ends when the scripture begins.

Yes Jesus Saves! not tulip saves

Thats it! we have to believe in Christ to have life 1 Timothy 1:16 KJV — Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

Apples to oranges. We are of course discussing interrelated words which is thw work of thev Holy Spirit and sonthing lacks in your comparison. Here is better: I ran and fell to the ground. So that running inherently implies movement in the ground and the fact when you fell is still in the ground.

The word " and" refuted your claim that it only refer to the earnest which comes in the heart.

Again you ignored what Paul is saying about the gospel of salvation in the first part. Then again your wrong about sealing that goes outside.Pauls says it goes inside the heart. 2 Corinthians 1:22 KJV — Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

I have to admit that I just failed to see your counterpoint. Obviously, vv 1-4 presents the unregenerate state of man or describes the past manner of life of the Ephesian believers being dead on trespassses and sins vv1, 4 and were before the children of disobedience or wrath.vv 2-3 Yet...
