    Many either reject Jesus altogether or follow a false teaching. Either choice leads to a lack of power against the flesh.

    I agree Kerwin.

    So the best advice to a christian who is living in sin of some type, would be to firstly get immersed in water, if they have not been, then repent of following false teachings, and obey the Spirit of God and the commands of God and Christ.

    Idolatry is the worship of anything or anyone as God other than God Himself, and so, I don’t see any of that is we thank God for the things that he gives us, a nice house, a nice car etc. I believe that if we are sincere Christians we know when we have put those things ahead of serving God.

    I think it depends where our thoughts dwell Marty.

    Miia,

    Ask, seek, and knock.

    A human must Ask God for mercy and confess they are a sinner.
    Seek the true gospel of Christ, listening to men to tests if their words are from God as well as reading Scripture and seeking what it really means.
    Knock by following the true gospel of Christ.

    Ed,

    The Bereans are given honor by God for listening to a human being then testing what he said against Scriptures.

    No,

    The Bereans are given honor by God for considering what is being said by testing it against Scripture.

    We don’t listen to humans, we instead listen to God HOWEVER he communicates
    with us. Your idea is right – but the wording is EXTREMELY WRONG.

    Hi Miia,

    And that gospel includes being baptised in the name of Jesus and receiving the Holy Spirit.

    To be a friend of the world is to be a friend of the dishonesty,greed,competition and vain glory whether it be in our worldly affairs or religion.
