[CS-FSLUG] Study Bible

[Keli of Coxsackie]

You can not have "total submission to the teachings of the Bible itself "
without "living a Holy Life"
So is the Holy Spirit given to those who obey or disobey?

A murderer or adulterer with good doctrine CAN NOT have the Holy Spirit..

Are you a Nicolaitan?
