We are risen in Christ, and walk in the Spirit, by faith. A new and living way.
Sure sounds like Charismania to me, sir! [Linked Image] Contrary to all your strawman arguments and false accusations, the writers of the WCF and all of us here, at least 99.99% of us, believe in Justification by Faith Alone but not by a faith that is alone. We believe that a believer walks by faith and not by sight. But we also believe that Jesus Christ has taught us the truth and that you err when you contradict His perspicuous teachings.

Therefore, could you kindly exegete 3 specific passages for us. Many of us are Greek savvy, so feel free to extrapolate in that language if you so desire and if you feel it will make your case, but take into consideration that the majority aren't schooled in the original languages as you probably are. Here are the passages that I would have you exegete:

John 14:15 (ASV) "If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments. . . . 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him."


John 15:9-10 (ASV) "Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."


1 John 5:3 (ASV) "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous."


Thank you! grin
