"Officially today" , doesn't matter: as you I think noted the 'denomination' has gone astray.
At the start(centuries ago) and for a while, Calvinists* would murder Anabaptists without a second thought, so we didn't get along with Calvinists any more than with r*me's ilk. (i.e. not at all)
The Calvinists I've met in person have been struggling for decades to be saved; there is some kind of 'block' or 'hurdle' they can't cross, they can't "take up their cross to follow Jesus any day" yet. Same with those others I've met in person all my life - they can't "break free" to follow Jesus. Oh, a few have.... the results are ANGELS REJOICING THROUGHOUT HEAVEN !
but not many..... (God takes no pleasure in loss of life, anyone's life)
*not just Calvinists, not by a long shot, and millions of lives(some Anabaptists) slaughtered by other denominations and mostly by
But LORD , we were never in bondage to any man.....
HOW then do you say we shall be made free...
any who serves sin is a slave to sin.......and the slave shall not abide in the house
forever.....but the SON abides in the HOUSE forever.......if the son shall set you free
you shall be free indeed
IF any man has not the spirit of Christ , he is none of his
and if he has the spirit , then the body is dead because o sin...
either a man is a servant to sin , or a servant to Christ
a slave to sin, or a slave to Christ....
their is no middle ........either one has been made free by the power of the grace
of GOD.......by Christ we have access into this grace wherein we stand
or a man walks in darkness of sin.......
Their is no middle......either we have been made free IN CHRIST
or we know him not...
I have spoken to many , and they have no idea, what I speak .
Christ did not come that we should abide in darkness
but HE is the light ....by which a man can see and walk
IF a man says he loves god or Christ......yet walks in darkness of sin
he lies and does not the truth.
FOR in CHRIST the messiah and savoir , those who walk by the SPIRIT
shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh..........
Awake my peoples of the lord , arise and Christ shall give thee light
yeah I say awake unto RIGHTEOUSNESS and sin NOT
for the grace of God , which brings salvation has appeared unto the world
TEACHING us , TO DENY all ungodliness and wordly lusts
to be living RIGHTEOUSLY , HOLY and godly in tis present world
IF ONE has CHRIST............they know , if they truly are of HIM
the power I speak of.......
for the spirit is not darknesss , nor leads us in darkness
IT LEAD US IN RIGHTEOUSNESS , HOLINESSS and godliness
IT IS OUR GUIDE, and by the Spirit we have the power to be ye Holy
as he is holy.......his righteousness , his sayings, his guidance SHOW US HOW TO WALK
HIS LAW is on our heart, for his law is SPIRITUAL
he fulfilled it , his sayings full fill it , and by it we live it ....the new man created unto
GOOD works..............amen.
