Once agan......Im talking to people here who know some verses., who read their bible...who study it.
If you spend more time reading commentaries or someone's Greek Text explanation, then im not talking to you.
If you only know what the Pope said, or how to pray to Mary, or want to talk about how water saved you, then im not talking to you, and you are not going to hear me, unless God gives you ears to hear.
Thats the spiritual reality.
---------------
So, if you know some bible, some NT..... then you are going to recognize that im using verses in the teaching that is to follow....., tho im not quoting or numbering them...
Sometimes when i teach online, a noob, or a carnal baby believer, will say...>"you don't post the verse".....Yet, i just gave 40 of them in the teaching that they dont recognize, because they really do not study the word.,,,,they are just here to try to argue their self righteous POV.
But if you do know some WORD, and you read what i teach, on Forums all over the world, then you'll recognize that i write the verses, but dont quote them, as i teach... usually.
Now,
To the born again, and not to the water baptized (ONLY)< who are not actually born again.... Yet.
Listen...
Jesus said...."without me you can do nothing". and another way to think of this statement ... "without me" is.....= "apart from me".
Saint...... to have a renewed mind, is to walk in the Light, as HE is in the Light and as Jesus IS the Light and Life.
The Light, is the revelation of who you have become, AS a child of the Light, and a Son of God or a Daughter of Christ.
If you do not have the correct understanding regarding who you have become IN CHRIST, then you are not walking in the Light, you are in the dark, and are probably fallen from Grace.
What is Grace?
Grace, as "the gospel of the Grace of God" that is to become an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ..... is the LIGHT of the knowledge regarding the Truth that God, as Christ on the Cross...has made you righteous, and that not of yourself.
God's righteousness is not you trying to be good. God's righteousness is not commandment keeping, law keeping, Shabbat keeping, or church membership.
God's righteousness, is God's death for your sin, in your place, and you receive this GRACE by faith, as it is the GOSPEL, and upon believing it you are born again.
Now, the next step, is not to try to work to stay saved, as if you have fallen into that FAITH, then you are in wrong faith, and you are now up on the Cross trying to save yourself, and Jesus is ripped off the nails.
Understand?
Think about that....as that is what happens when a person who is justified by faith, and born again, .... leaves this Grace of God and starts trying to keep themselves saved, by SELF.
This is what Jesus is talking about, and these are the redeemed he's talking to, when He says....>"without me, apart from me, you can do NOTHING">
See, you can be born again, and be able to do NOTHING..........except not lose your salvation. In other words, you are in the work of trying to do for yourself, what God as Christ has already done for you.
You are trying to STAY SAVED, which is to "fall from Grace"......... As this is a BELIEF issue, whereby a person who is born again, has left faith in Christ, and now has faith in FAITH, or faith in SELF, or faith in WATER or faith in the Law and Commandments. (Works).
Notice that this person has left the simplicity that is in Christ, and is now pursuing "here is how i go to heaven".. "here is how i keep myself saved".....>"here is what i must now DO, to go to heaven".
Notice Saint that Jesus is left out.
There is no Cross in that broken faith.
There is only "me me me me, what i i i i I I I , am doing for ME, to try to save ME".
See that?
That is SELF Righteousness that is trying to be God's Righteousness. = FAIL.....= "fallen from GRACE".
And THAT, is how the born again become..>"without me you can do nothing"....>"Apart from me, you can do nothing" ...Jesus says.
