@j_divis Scripture says he is a spirit.

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@Primary_Pianist It’s not a tactic. It’s a scriptural standard.

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@j_divis @Lew541207 The top one yes.

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@Primary_Pianist The test:

Does their teaching land you in rest and assurance in Jesus’ finished work, or does it keep you trying to get “more” acceptance by how you respond?

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@Primary_Pianist If it means “a different gospel emphasis” (what salvation is, faith does, how forgiveness is secured): yes, their systems can function like a “different gospel presentation,” because they can imply different answers to how forgiveness is actually applied and how assurance works.

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@Primary_Pianist If “different Jesus” means “another Christ” (identity, person of Jesus, and the core basis of forgiveness): Calvinists and Arminians are still within historic Christianity. They don’t usually claim a different Christ like Mormons do.

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@Primary_Pianist They’re usually talking about the same historical Jesus—so not a “different Jesus” issue you see with Mormonism. But they can end up presenting a different gospel (and different “what salvation really is”) because of how they define grace, human response, what Jesus accomplished

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@JS_StrngstSldr There are no exceptions to His design. Jesus reiterated this design and He made no exception.

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

Jesus’ disciples were the first recipients of His words—but the New Testament teaches that His benefits extend to believers after them (John 17:20 Jesus prayed not only for them, but for those who would believe through their word.)

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

When Jesus says, “I give you the power,” He’s talking about more than a one-time moment for the disciples. In the New Covenant, that same Jesus lives in you and gives you His life and authority from the inside out.

@Sarahsred7 Did he pass the test of a prophet?

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@Primary_Pianist Who is Jesus?

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@jmbrim3 If you want an even simpler one-liner, you could ask:
“Who is Jesus to me right now—my Savior who already finished my salvation, or someone I must keep catching up to?”

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@jmbrim3 Instead of “Which church should I join?” (which can easily push people toward trying to stay right by aligning with requirements), the gospel question is:
“Am I trusting Christ—His death for my forgiveness and His resurrection for my righteousness?”

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@jmbrim3 forgiveness, righteousness, and eternal life.

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@jmbrim3 A really helpful “better question” would be:

“What has God done for me in Jesus Christ—where can I receive forgiveness and new life as a free gift?”. Because the issue isn’t mainly which group has the right outward label—it’s whether you’re trusting Jesus’ finished work for

[Pilgrim in Progress @The_RJ006]

@RandomLDS The more you study the Bible and how it came to be you understand how perfectly the message was preserved from over a thousand years from dozen of authors. One Spirit inspired the Gospel to be written and it was not corrupted.
