I believe my conviction is of the Holy Ghost as I believe the true Gospel of Christ according to Scripture, am born again, I have a new spirit and nature which is a work of God and that God dwells in me and I can have fellowship with, and know, the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
That STILL does not answer my question. I am not sure why you are dodging the question, but I have asked it specifically several times. How do you know that your “conviction” is better or more correct than the conviction of anyone else?
You can believe what I say or not, but that is my testimony, that I am saved by faith alone in Jesus Christ, His atoning sacrificial death for my sins, His shed blood that cleanses all my past, present and future sin, His burial and His resurrection.
It is not a matter of believing you or not. That has nothing to do with the question you keep dodging. I am certain that YOU believe you are saved, though, according to Paul, being “saved” is an ongoing process. It does not just happen by saying, “I believe”
I believe anyone who denies Jesus Christ and His true Gospel is led by a false spirit that is not of God and any claim they make of ‘conviction’ is not of God.
Again, nothing to do with my question that you keep dodging. I said nothing about denying Christ.
I believe therefore that the conviction I have comes truly and directly from God and from the Scripture that God uses.
And you believe that God sits up there and reds the KJV? Does He use the version before the 7 books of the OT were removed by Luther?
Anyone contradicting God’s word cannot have God’s conviction.
Again, that evades my question. I have asked a specific question about other Christians who believe differently than you and use a different version than you. How is your conviction better and more correct than theirs?
No works can save us - sin is the issue and the only thing that takes away sin is the blood of Jesus Christ - God’s own blood. Good works cannot take away sin. To believe on the Saviour takes a humbling which most people will not do - they resist the conviction of the Holy Ghost:
So, then the KJV is wrong when it says that “faith without works is dead”?
‘For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.’ Ephesians 2:8-9
Matthew (KJV) 16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
hmmmmm
I believe people are deceived by the world’s false religions (which all teach a system of faith and works) which satan is behind:
Really? Even though James is very clear that Faith AND works are required?
(KJV) James 2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
(KJV)Roman 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Now, maybe you can answer my question…finally…
