I don't believe as new creations that we have the power to sin. I believe the power to sin was broken at salvation. Now we have the power not to sin. We do have the *temptation* so sin again, but I believe the power to be broken completely.<BR/><BR/>Also I think in sanctification it is important to see that we are drawing from a huge swimming pool with a big straw with living water that gives us strength. Actually we are not drawing as a spring continues to bubble out. Anyway I think Peter said it best when telling us we are given everything we need in the Divine nature and to add to it in earnest; faith, self-control and so on.<BR/><BR/>We are Baptised with the Holy Spirits power. All the Old Testament saints though they were justified the same way we are, were not converted and Baptised by the Holy Spirit in the sense that we are. They lived in a prepatory work of being called to repentance, but did not experience the New Birth as we do. They did when Christ died and rose again, but they were kept in holding in Abrahams bossom. I don't fully understand how the Spirit worked back then in O.T. but I know he came and went and acted sporadicaly.<BR/><BR/>Israel was called to forsake sin, repentance and repentance and repentance. N.T saints are given the power now to repent by the power of the Holy Spirit. I believe this is what most today are missing. The new saints had to come to an understanding of the differance between the Baptism of repentance and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. I am not speaking in the charismatic sense. I mean God gave us the power to believe as well as walk. I really believe many are missing this. It takes from us and places it on God. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is simply saying that I don't need Him. I can do the work of God without him. It is attributing the Holy Spirit to being evil and yourself to being good.<BR/><BR/>I think people today are so paranoid of the Holy Spirit because of charismatics that they lose sight of His whole purpose of giving us what we lack.Bhedrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08091896907803479900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13376296.post-1119455877400022182005-06-22T11:57:00.000-04:002005-06-22T11:57:00.000-04:00I'm confused.
