terrarica,

None of those passages say that receiving then Holy Spirit means you are baptized in Jesus and one even says the Holy Spirit on Jesus himself.

Terrarica,

Jesus was tempted even as we are but without sin so perhaps you might want to consider the words of James and Peter in that light.

Nick,

Is that a serious question?

The words self control means your enemy is yourself and thus the need to control yourself.

Satan and his agents are tempters and abusers but it is yourself you are commanded to control.

@admin,

Things seem to be running smoother.

Nick,

Please consider your words before you post.

Yes a person is their own enemy as “sin in them” battles against their conscious beliefs.

25 While Paul was discussing righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “Go away for now, and when I have a…

Terraricca,

We do not instigate temptation.

terrarica,

After thinking if it for a while I have come to the realization there is more than the unconscious mind that makes up the flesh. It is only one element.

It is my understanding we are chained to the nature of the flesh, which includes those things of the unconscious mind as a result of the nature of this world since the fall.

Terraricca,

Receiving the holy spirit means you are baptized in Jesus ,

Look for those words you used and you will not find them written in Scripture.

Terrarica,

hi all

Concious mind vs unconcious mind (flesh?)

in my understanding they are both active in the spirit and in the flesh ,so they can both be either good and bad

I was thinking more of Paul who stated in his mind he loved the Lord but in his flesh he rebelled against him.

There are certainly those who do no love God…[Read more]

Nick,

If you do not stop putting nonsense in this thread I will report you to the administrator.

Nick,

Did you read the passage I wrote?

Nick,

Your word reveal a lack of both understanding and interest in understanding.

You clearly do not believe that nature testifies of God or you would understand more than your words reveal you do.

Stop using carnal as if it were a holy word. Use a word you understand.

terraricca,

Cornelius was baptized with holy spirit before he was by men baptized in water ? tell us what would have happen if Peter would have not baptized them with water ? was it for the Jews that he run to the water to get them baptized ?

1) the bottom line is he was immersed in water so there is no evidence water immersion is not part…[Read more]

Nick,

You fail to address the points but instead choose to attack the messenger with reveals you are living by the flesh and not by the Spirit. You know how to do what is right so do it and stop acting like a man that instinctively swats at a bee that is bothering him.

To all that Jesus did not mean baptist all nations.

There is not one shred of evidence to support your claims and yet you choose to hold to them. You invent stories.

Very simply, Jesus commanded the Eleven to immerse all nations.

It is an elementary teaching.

Why don’t you believe him?

Nick,

You answer to me is still babbling as it testifies of your lack of knowledge. Seek understanding and stop following the ways of the world who loves to be ignorant of the truth.

t8,

I agree he was the Son of God before he was resurrected from the dead.

He I am not sure what you mean by he is Son of God in power but I believe he was declared in power to be the Son of God and he is the Son of God as of the Spirit as are those who follow him.

The as of the Spirit is contrasted with the as of the flesh.

Jesus teaches us…[Read more]

t8,

You are correct that Paul says there are different types of flesh and yet some assume there is one type of flesh when they hear 1 Corinthians 15:50 even though other see flesh and blood being an idiom and therefore not to be taken literally. The mystery is why did Paul choose to use words that were open to interpretation, even at the time he…[Read more]

Nick,

Your are babbling nonsense again. Please try to focus.

Nick,

A double minded is a natural man and they double minded in all they do.

Multi personality disorder may well be demon possession.

James 6-8 speaks of a double minded man but his context is more limiting that Paul’s. Paul speaks of his conscious mind’s battle with his flesh and therefore his instinctive desires and traditions that have…[Read more]
