I understand that we are to trust and rely on Jesus Christ fully, not a problem for me to understand this. The Spirit is leading me to believe that we have to keep his commandments, even with the new covenent. I love the Lord with all my heart, which leads me to want to keep his commands.
1 John 5:1-3
1* Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ ia born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who gegotten of Him. 2* By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. 3* For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
So the question that I have is, what commandments are we to keep? If we are no longer under the Law(commandments) of God, then what Law(commandments) are we to obey without burden?
Peace cb6mustang5,
I agree we can't be saved by keeping the laws alone, nor by faith or grace alone.
Grace is for past sins, and not for sins comitted after being born again.
Faith with works is dead.
It starts with faith and faith means believing. If our belief is true, then believe means submitting and abiding in Yahshua "the Word of Yahweh" (John 1:1, John 1;14, Rev 19:13)
It's doing everything "our very best and always to show the Heavenly Father that we truely love Him back. He loved us first and proved so much by giving us His very best only begotten son Yahshua.
Mat 22:36 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 And he said unto him, Thou shalt love Yahweh thy Elohim with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second like unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
You see Yahweh is Love (1John 4:8), and Yahshua was showing us the Father within him (John 14:10). Yahshua wants us to do the same. When we love one another, were showing others our Father Yahweh within us.
If your love for Him is true, then you will obey as much of His Word that you possibly can. Whoever told you that were not under His laws is a liar. There is the law of faith, the Royal law, and Yahweh writes His laws in our hearts and minds. When we recieve His Word, it goes into our minds, then we lay it to heart and live by it.
If you break His laws, then you are sinning and there is no more grace, but rather judgement.
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.
Some think the laws are just for the Jews, but I got news for you. Yahshua was a Jew, and we have been grafted into him. We are now Jews of the Spirital Israel, and the one true temple of Yahweh as living stones that build up this spiritual house/place (1Pet 2:4-7), being members of one another (Rom 12:5).
Yahshua is the corner stone that we build on, and the New Jerusalem is the Mother of us all (GA 4:26). WE WHO ARE IN YAHSHUA ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD TO LEED OTHERS OUT OF THE DARKNESS UNTO HIM (Mat 5:14)
2Pet 2:20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Master and Saviour Yahshua Ha Mashiyach, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first. 21 For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.
We can't pick and choose what part of His Word to keep, and that seems what most peope are doing to meet their own understandings.
Whosoever does and teaches the law will be called great in heaven (Mat 5:19)
Yahweh doesn't dwell in sin, and neither shall we. We don't keep the laws for trying to earn salvation. We keep His laws for keeping our temple pure so that He can dwell in us. (1Cor 3:16)

I'm sorry I even posted without having any biblical scriptures. I am very new to Christ and just want to learn. I have a lot of reading and studying of the scriptures to do. I am done posting on this topic because of lack of knowledge and of the Bible. Forgive me.
I applaud your humility, your willingness to admit your inexperience. The "Rapture" teaching (see Mt 24:40-41 & Lk 17:35)you read in the Jenkins-LaHaye books is widely popular, but not universally accepted.I'm sorry I even posted without having any biblical scriptures.

This is so absurd. If grace (Jesus Christ's death on Calvary to pay for our sins) does not include sins after we are born again, then how do we receive redemption for our sins?
Are you telling me you've never sinned after becoming born again?
Are you telling me then we're condemned if we sin again after being born again?
All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. II Tim. 3:16,17
The man of God here is not the pastor it is every believer.
His Child, you greatly contradict yourself. If there is NO grace after one becomes born again, then explain to me why Jesus forgave Peter for denying Him 3 times. What about every other sinner? Your teaching is un Scriptural.
A person who sins after receiving salvation in Christ can indeed by forgiven. Its ludicrious to claim otherwise. Its one thing to sincerely repent, its another thing to die an unrepented sinner who lived a sinful lifestyle without any concern. Two different worlds.
Hi Chad,
Thank you for your patience
I agree that a person who sins after receiving salvation in Christ can be forgiven, however not if they Blasphemy the Holy spirit according to scripture Mat 12:31.
It seems that you do not fully or properly understand what I have been sharing.
I said Grace is for past sins, and not for sins comitted after being born again, and that we would receive judgement for any sins comitted thereafter "and we can't ignore this scripture -->
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.
Then it's up to Yahweh to decide if and/or how much forgiveness He will give. Then I said it might have something to do with love, as scripture says loving one another can erase a multitude of sins.
If someone was to teach that once we have recieved salvation in Christ that we can still sin all we want and still be saved no matter what, then that's clearly wrong teaching that can lead many astray, and it goes against the majority of the Christain church preachings.
Do you believe in once saved always saved?, or am I also misunderstanding you?
His Child
So, if a sinner is repentant after receiving Salvation, then he or she DOES have GOD's grace (which of course is forgiveness in Christ).
Chad,
Well I'm sorry Chad that we can't find agreement with each other one this important issue, as the scriptures clearly say there will be no forgiveness but rather judgment.
I choose to keep following what the Holy Spirit is telling me.
In "my opinion" that kind of teaching encourages people to sin by thinking it's OK to continue to sin, and whenever as they choose, just as long as they are repentant afterwards. Some might then think "I will go out and sin, and have a little fun for awhile, then I will repent on Sunday, or whenever".
What if a Christian goes out and willfully sins for days, like adultery or something else bad, then they die before they get the chance to repent?
How About somebody takes the Mark of the Beast and uses it for awhile to buy and sell everything they possibly can to stock up for survival reasons, then they decide to repent?, or they suddenly decide to repent because they see or hear about Christ returning?.
I also believe that our willful sinning can greatly effect other peoples lives, and for unknown years to come, from generation to generation, and it might even lead them into sin, or hatred, or even revenge type murder.
I hope you can see my point, and I do not believe I have been sharing anything falsely.
Blessings Chad,
I never said anything about Judgment with eternal damnation Hell for all that sin after becoming born again. You misunderstand me if that's what you think.
I did quote two scriptures that shows of many types of sinners that will not be saved, and either because they didn't repent or maybe they died before they had a chance too, but that doesn't apply to everbody who sins after becoming born again, but it may apply to some.
My last two posts clearly show that I believe that Yahweh will judge us accordingly on judgement day, and that He decides if and how much mercy He will give to each of us, and I said a mulititude of sins can be forgiven if we love one another according to (1Pet 4:8).
So I'm saying that we should not sin, and we should do our best for serving Yahweh's will, and we should Love one another.
I hope that straightens everything up.
His Child
