This requires time and discipleship.
Christ has no transgressing disciples, taking their own sweet time to repent of sinning with the devil.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
Neither do His repented holy disciples have fellowship with them.
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
ALL true-born of God believers 'walk' with Jesus -repented or unrepented -
No true-born son of God walks with Jesus and the devil at the same time. Nor do true-born sons of God walking with Jesus, also walk with children of the devil.
(See above Scriptures)
for He said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Only if we continue doing His word by His faith:
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven;
Only if we stand strong for the Lord and resist the devil, rather than having fellowship with the devil.
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.
I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
But He does forsake them that forsake Him, by leaving them alone to themselves:
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
And this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
Your gospel promise to yourself is to never forsake believing you are saved by your own faith alone, no matter how you live.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
The true God and Jesus Christ never made nor make such a fool's promise to any man.
There is no "salvation of the body unto life" until the Lord comes and brings the completion of our salvation: The changing of our bodies in the twinkle-twinkle of His eye.
True. There is only salvation of the soul
and life we now live in the body. The body is not saved until the resurrection of the dead unto life, if our life lived in the body is saved blameless unto the end:
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Separating saving faith from how we live, is separating our soul from our life we live. God saves the soul and the life we now live by the faith of Jesus.
Your personal gospel of saving your soul
by your own faith, apart from your life you live, only lasts until the grave.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Only the Lord's gospel and them obeying it with the soul
and life we live, will see our body resurrected unto life.
The body is not blameless now, for if it were there would be no need for Christ to change it when Christ comes.
Actually, no
natural body is to be blamed for any soul sinning with the body. Even as the gun is not to be blamed for the killing.
Liberalism creeping into Christianity, tries to blame the body for the soul that sins in the flesh.
The body of flesh is as blameless as grass and dust. Natural mortality is not a sin, and especially not to be blamed on Christ the Maker of all natural bodies on earth.
When God speaks of being blameless in spirit, soul, and body, He's speaking of being pure of heart and blameless in life.
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
But God speaks of our lives as being
the whole body of all things we say and do.
The old body of the old man of sin, is the whole old life of sin, not the same ol' body of flesh and blood we still have unto he grave.
All men on earth are living in natural bodies unto the grave, but only unrepented sinners on earth, are sinning with their bodies unto death of the grave.
The body is one part of our trichotomy that is not yet saved.
True. And the unrepented sinners still transgressing in works of the flesh, have no part saved, neither spirit, soul, nor life in the body.
Salvation of the soul without the life lived, is the strong delusion of the ages. It for them that preach their own sinful religion of being saved by inward faith only, followed by some more repentance at their own pace and will.
Yes it is. We are well connected to this world in body, soul, and human spirit
True, you and yours are still connected to this world in
soul and spirit and life, as well as by having natural bodies.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
We are not you, and you are not we. We are connected to the world only by remaining alive bodily on earth, not by manner of life in unrepented ungodliness and unholy living.
Conclusion: We now see the stark differences and utter separation between your gospel of salvation unto more needed repentance, and my gospel of repentance unto salvation, without more repentance needed.
And though you've covered many bases, I've seen them all before. If you want to continue, and you do come up with any new twist on your doctrine, then I'd be glad to see it and respond to it.
And so, thanks now for much! I do appreciate your point by point challenges to my gospel with your gospel.
