Does your scenario for growth apply more of Jesus' cleansing blood to us ?

Where does the Bible say that one is sanctified ONLY through Christ's blood?

I am supposing that you think the chastisements, etc., are for sin...right ? God's sons cannot commit sin, so the chastisements etc., must be for things others than for sin. I will grant that God can and will chastise a brother for getting too close to "the edge", so to speak; or for gett...

Have you considered Hebrews 12:6-11 as a continuous experience? And, that those that are experiencing it are really sons, even though they are still being chastened and scourged and corrected?

V14 were blinded, but we (v18), have had our eyes opened by the grace of God. Phil 3:12 ite...

Why do you believe that humanity "never had" "dominion and authority over Satan"? Besides the fact that they have never shown any dominion over him, I have seen no biblical instances where man had dominion. I know that Jesus fulfilled the Gen 3:15 prophetic reference to it. And ...

The following quote is from a story that Lester Sumrall told about a girl that was demonized. He who has ears let him hear wrote : "There was a raging battle with the girl blaspheming God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit." According to the site in question, this quote is fr...
