If you deny Jesus you shouldn't even be posting here. This is totally uncalled for. Are we not to be witnesses and lights in the world. Who are you to say another individual should not be here at worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you still need to remember that it wasn't really you, but Christ in you. This is the production of fruit that Jesus is looking for. I agree wholeheartedly. Sure, we can save no one. However, God says of those who do share the gospel; "As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" We do not have to be a pastor or evangelist to have a burden for the lost. A bottle of cold water in Jesus's name to the delivery man, is a seed that may blossom some day. That blossom that matured may than scatter thousands of seed. Think on that. Evangelism Statistics; Ninety-five percent of all Christians have never won a soul to Christ. Eighty percent of all Christians do not consistently witness for Christ. Less than two percent are involved in the ministry of evangelism. Seventy-one percent do not give toward the financing of the great Commission. Bible.org "Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him" Some will have no sheaves to bring.....

I should not have to say it's not 9, 7, or 4. I did not write anything about God speaking things into existence. Hi @Peterlag, I had given some examples of "power" that some people may believe they have when being a born again christian. Well, your topic was "We have the power within us of unlimited potential". So, I guessed wrong this power which you are talking about. What power are you talking about then? Can you be more specific?

Hi @Peterlag I am not here to criticize, but truly here for discernment and to care. Thanks for the bible verses, but each one can interpret it differently. I was really interested in your own interpretation of it. If I have to pull the answer out of these bible verses, I may come up with another shoesize 8,6 or 4. What specific powers do you believe are within a believer with unlimited potential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have misunderstood your topic title. And I may have misunderstood what you tried to communicate through your post. "We have the power within us of unlimited potential" We have the Holy Spirit within us. The Holy Spirit has the power of unlimited potential. All glory to God!
