Featured Christ's Blood Sanctifies !

Where does the Scripture state that you are to believe that you are presently in heaven and in a seated condition and "in Christ"??? If you take this "by faith" then what scripture commands you to believe that? You cannot claim Epheisans 2:6 as such a command as that is circle reasoning.

 

When one is born again and in possession of a clear conscience before God and man, I would believe the Holy Spirit would be the one to testify of the truth of being seated in heavenly places.

 

Why would you believe that and why would the Spirit bear witness to that if there is no Biblical command to embrace that "by faith"?????

 

I like the answer I have heard, that if the Bible says it one is simply to believe it. :thumbs:

 

Paul does not say in Ephesians 2:6 that it is a matter he accepts "by faith" but rather simply asserts it as fact whether a person believes it or not! So where does the Bible instruct us to accept it "by faith"????? Why would God tell you to accept "by faith" something that LITERALLY is false???

 

Misuse of the quote that you gave!

Author of hebrews refererred to those who were tempted to go back to the "Old system" of OT sacrifices as a means/ways to be right before god, and he warns them to forsake jesusa as the messiah and ultimate sacrifice that came would mean going back to saved by law, which means going back a now dead system no longer in use!

So god describing the SIN of not believeing that Jesus was messiah, final and only sin sacrifice, trampling underfoot precious blood of Son of God..

refers to sinners staying lost, NOT even addressing the saints!
