Explaining the disastrous “grace-only” doctrine

Here's my approach to walking in the Spirit.

“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” (2 Corinthians 10:5) (KJV 1900)

We censor every impure thought or imagination. And change the channel in our thinking on any thought that does not conform to obedience to Christ.

And we replace it with:

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8)

Knowing Jesus is God and God is love. So Jesus is lord of our lives when love rules our thoughts and actions.

What I take from this is, if I stop thinking bad things and start thinking good things, that’s enough to sustain my salvation.

Is that correct?

No, but if you are saved, you will walk in the fullness of the Spirit by doing this.

Are you saying that is something you do because you’re saved? Or do you do it to stay in a state of grace?

God saved me through the New Birth. But the fullness of the Spirit comes from repentance at the New Covenant level of holiness (Acts 2:38). But NC Holiness begins in the thought realm and defeats sin while it is still temptation, before it turns into outward sin.

So do you let sin run uncontrolled in your thinking?

What causes you to ask such a question? Of course I don't. I'm a new creature in Jesus Christ. I recognize the enemy of my soul and order him out in Jesus' name.

Why do you think censoring sinful thoughts is malarkey?

I cannot figure out how that pertains to my post.

You're injecting new information. My comment was about the contents of your post - a voluntary confession.

I didn't say that. You're so busy with yourself you have a problem with what people say. IOW you're disconnected.

You told Hamster the same thing. Maybe you need to slow down.

Need further information in your question so that I understand what you (Timothy) are saying.

Timmy speaks Truth w/o making it obvious
that he's disagreeing with you.
IOW, if the Spirit doesn't reveal the Truth
of what he's saying, you won't get it.
