Correct.
Evidence for a born-again Christian being in the Holy Spirit:
(1) Those of this world are not longer able to predict behavior (John
3:8).
(2) Ability to perform signs/miracles in Christ Jesus' name (Acts 1:8
and 2:4 and 5:12-16).
(3) Demonstrating an amazing understanding of Scripture (Acts 4:8-20)
(4) Demonstrating a knowledge of what the world considers to be
unknowable (Acts 4:12 and 6:10).
(5) Hatred and fear from those who are of this world (Acts 5:17 and
6:9) leading to false witnessing being borne against them (Acts 6:11)

May GOD continue to heal our hearts by filling them with HIS love, dear
Alacrity whom I love unconditionally.
Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,

As for knowing who are the very elect, these you will know by the
unconditional love they have for everyone including their enemies
(Matthew 5:44-45, 1 Corinthians 13:3, James 2:14-17).

I have read several posts claiming that you are insane. I'm very very
interested to know if you consider your knowledge of God perfect. If
Christ is the standard for sanity, then I'm quite convinced that I'm
insane:) How about you, Andrew?

Purify my life; I want to be your instrument.
Teach me how to live, and I will follow you.
I want to preach about your mercy!
I want to preach about your love!
I want to see my friends coming to you.
I want to see your presence over my city!
I love this one too:)

sensi:
Sounds like music to my ears. Do you know the artist name and if it's
available for purchase?
That rules you out, then.
That's because of (1) and (5) above.

No. It would take the rest of eternity for my knowledge of GOD to be
perfected in truth and in love.

Just a HE is not of this world, we are no longer of this world... just
passing through.

The fruit of the Spirit is. . . .????
Galatians 5
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things
there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the
sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit,
let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited,
provoking and envying each other.
God bless,

hehe, I just posted the verse from Galatians 5 on the SINGULAR, fruit of the
Spirit. It's a package deal - His Holy Spirit produces that fruit in us as
we are surrendered to His will for our lives - we see it as numerous, see it
as "fruits," when in fact, it is singular, but nine-fold.
interesting, eh?

She's back!!!!!!
G'day!

Yep!
Amen.
Now for the context which is one of comparison:
"The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity
and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy,
fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy;
drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that
those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of GOD."
(Galatians 5:19-21)
The latter (hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition,
dissensions, factions and envy and the like) is what is observed among
usenet participants who are brandishing swords. While many of these
would also deny being HIS brethren, there are some who sadly claim to
be HIS brethren.
"Those who live by the sword will die by the sword." -- LORD Jesus
Christ
May GOD continue to heal our hearts by filling them with HIS love, dear
Feather whom I love unconditionally.
