DO YOU WANT TO CONSIDER JOINING THE 24/7?
Kat:
Hi rocky,
I think someone knows that they are seeing the truth and overcoming sin.
I will say I understand things I never did before, I am able to resist temptations like never before.
I know I am not able to do any of these things, but by Him in me.
Paul referrs to those he was teaching as believers, brothers, and chosen.
1Th 1:4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you,
1Pe 2:7 So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,"
v. 8 and "A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
v. 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
I will also add, we may see that we are among the believers now, but we have to endure to the end. Of this we have no guarantee, that we will remain faithful.
Rev 17:14 They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful."
mercy, peace, and love

Rocky that is what I am trying to say. There is scripture for that too:
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Matthew 5:45-47
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 9:10-12
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

I agree. I know many believers/brothers who see their sin, and cry out for mercy for Christ to heal them, yet don't believe everything that Ray teaches, or for that matter haven't been enlightened yet to UR. We are not special because we have had our eyes opened to UR, we are special because we see our sin, and our inability to overcome it, by the grace of God.
I desire mercy not sacrifice. That to me is the key. When the light shines, and we have gotten to the end of self effort to gain rightiousness, and cry out for mercy; what a great place to be.

While it is true God is not a respector of persons and their works on their own merit He does love some more than others,
Mal 1:1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
Mal 1:2 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother?
saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
Mal 1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
Rom 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Rom 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness93 with God? God forbid.
Rom 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
This seems to say not all are loved equally in this age.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe

I think this comes down to relative versus absolute again.
