Good News: Non-Christians, too, are in the Body of Christ!
False. Non-believers and make-believers are not
indwelled with the Holy Spirit (Eph.
1:23). They are dead spiritually (Jn
3:7). Not mostly dead (Jn
10:27). Dead dead--unable to see, hear or
understand the things of God (Jn
8:37).

7:20,
Ro 8:13-14).
There are many high theologians on TOL.
They tell you what to believe but are not indwelled with the Holy Spirit,
themselves (Mt
15:14). They saw brain surgery being done in a
magazine so they walk into surgery and tell the brain surgeon what to do:
"Excuse me, move over. I saw this being done in a magazine." They saw Law &

lawyers: "Excuse me, pardon me judge. Pardon me lawyers. Here's how it's done (Jas
3:1)." Winfrey.
That's not your job. What if you're wrong? That's the Holy Spirit's ministry (Ro 8:16).
I believe and accept it to be my responsibility...
Believing a thing doesn't make it so.
You examine yourself. They examine themselves (2
Co 13:5).
...I tell people to believe they are already in Christ (grace-based salvation) instead of telling them to believe to be In Christ (works-based salvation).
Men are justified
by faith.
