Re: Phillipians 1:17 some preach out of partisanship

beej,
FORGET about man's doctrines and believe what the Lord did.

The Lord died on the cross (this cannot be changed).

The Lord rose from the dead (this cannot be changed).

The Lord rose into heaven (this cannot be changed).

The Lord left us with the Holy Spirit to teach us how to be Godly and respect (love) each other. If we are genuinely humble and willing to listen and learn from The Holy Spirit (God's spirit), we will have a spirit/character of love for our fellow human being in our heart that will determine the way that we interact with other people. Having an attitude of love (respect) for our fellow human being will mean that we will only do what our conscience allows us to do in the name of love (God) and your conscience will be perfect (Hebrews 9:9 The Lord did not just die on the cross for us, but left us God's spirit so that our conscience could be perfected).

God's personality (characteristics/spirit) is so intense,...IT LIVES. If you have genuine love in your heart, then your spirit is holy (salvation hasn't gone to waste on you, has it?).

Man (humanity) loves to draw conclusions from scripture and always will (it's human nature, it gives us control, and we insist on retaining some kind of control because we don't know how NOT to fear God).

Salvation is not OF the bible, salvation is NOT of the church (body of Christ), it is The Lord's providence ONLY (Isaiah 51:6 and Revelation 7:10).

All Hail The White Knight of Salvation.
