We think too highly of ourselves. And as a result... we think too lowly of God... and of His holiness.

Aquila · #2 04-04-2013, 12:38 PM

If we who profess to be "holiness" truly understood GOD'S HOLINESS... we'd cling to the doctrine of GRACE like it was our very breath.

Aquila · #3 04-04-2013, 12:43 PM

I'm not saying that we are not to do good works. Oh no, we are called to! But I'm saying that we are saved by grace TO DO good works. All that we do for God must be done in the very shadow of grace... else it is nothing but a vile and detestible attempt to elevate self attained "righteousness" (self-righteousness) to Heaven, standard by pathetic standard, like the very bricks of the tower of Babel.

Try to build a tower to Heaven with the wood and straw of performance and religiousity, I dare any of you. The LORD of Hosts laughs from the Heavens at such vanity. And He will visit their iniquity saying...

Matthew 7:22-23
King James Version (KJV)
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and [B]in thy name done many wonderful WORKS?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Yes, all their "wonderful works" are counted as INIQUITY.

We who will be saved... must fall in absolute surrender to grace...

Romans 4:5
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Selah... such peace cannot be known unless one kneels in the very shadow of God's grace.

14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

Somebody say, "Whoop! There it is!"

Go back and read the rest of the post... it was edited as I felt led...

Is there any such thing as "holiness" apart from God's own presence???

True "holiness" is strictly an attribute of God... imputed to those in whom He dwells, through faith.

Oh, we can be "holy" in the sense of being "different" or "separate" from others. But this kind of religious holiness isn't any better than that found in Islam, Hinduism, Catholicism, or any other religion. In fact... it's no better than those separated by wearing tin foil hats.

Why would a child of God not be concerned about what they wear? It's common sense to show forth on the outside what is on the inside. " argument...But you don't know my heart " but if the heart is right, it will show forth on the outside.

A true child of God would be concerned about what they wear and a true child of God will obey God's Word concerning what they wear. Those who are just playing church and love this world will do as they want and what is right in their eyes.
