Thusia (SDA) teaches the real Gospel of Christ concerning Justification by faith that tells us:

a. Justification is a subjective change. (Rom. 8:6; Rom. 5:1,18); Gal. 2:16,20.
b. It is “first-sanctification” or separation from sin. 1 Cor. 6:9-11.
c. Justification is the “point of change”. Eze. 36:25-27.
d. Justification is the new birth. (Jn. 3:5,6; Gal. 3:7-9,14; Gal. 4:6).
e. In Justification God does not impute the past-sins of idols or character past sins of the mind. (1 Jn. 1:9; Acts. 8:21,22; Eze. 36:25-27).
f. This is God giving us Life as Justification (Rom. 8:6; Rom. 5:1,18); (Rom. 8:10; Gal. 3:7-9,14; Gal. 4:6).
g. This Justification is also God giving to us His Divine Nature of Righteousness in the same Faith that Christ used to overcome. (Rom. 4:5; Jer. 23:5,6; 2 Pet. 1:4; Jam. 2:1).
h. In Justification God also gives us a new heart an inner experience (spirit) to replace the idols of the mind. Eph. 4:22-24; Rom. 12:2.
i. This is also God giving His Spiritual Law in our hearts to free us from sin. (Rom. 8:1,2; Gal. 2:16,17; Jn. 15:3,5; Heb. 8:10).
j. This is also God giving to us the Light of His Glory (Love) in our hearts, to carry around in our bodies. (2 Cor. 4:6,7; Isa. 53:11).
k. Through Justification God brings us to keep His Law. Rom. 3:28,30,31.
Thusia (SDA) teaches the real Gospel of Christ concerning Sanctification in the realm of sinlessness. We teach that:
a. Sanctification is by the Faith of Jesus Christ. Acts. 26:18.
b. Second-Sanctification is keeping the mind pure, holy and free from sin by abiding in Christ. (1 Tim. 1:5; 2 Tim. 2:22; 1 Pet. 1:22; 1 Jn. 3:3).
c. Second-Sanctification is resisting the temptations of the flesh that comes to you from without the body, without falling into sin. (P.S. If the temptation comes from the feeling in the body; one has sinned already in the mind). Gal. 5:16,17.
d. Second-Sanctification tells us that when we abide in Christ we sin not. 1 Jn. 3:5,6.
e. Second-Sanctification is through the Faith of Jesus Christ, with which He conquered in keeping the whole Law without sin. (Ps. 119:11: 1 Tim. 4:6; Jam. 2:22; Rom. 3:28,31; 1 Jn. 5:18).
f. Under Second-Sanctification we are washed so as to have no sin at all. Eph. 5:26,27.

Thusia (SDA) teaches the real Gospel of Christ in telling us that sinless-perfection is possible in this life, in this body. We teach:
a. The new birth of Justification makes us sinless. 1 Jn. 3:9; 1 Jn. 5:18.
b. Through Second-Sanctification we can maintain this sinlessness. 1 Jn. 3:6.
c. We can overcome all sin in this present body before Christ comes. Rev. 21:7; 1 Jn. 5:4; 1 Jn. 2:10,27.
d. Christ will come for a people who are without sin, or is sinlessly perfect. Heb. 9:28; Rev. 19:7,8.
Only such people will have their “past historical sins” or “active past sins” forgiven, remitted or blotted out in the Judgment. (1 Jn. 4:16,17; 1 Pet. 4:8).

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we...

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS  EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina Statement of the case 1. Imputed and imparted righteousness are usually seen as different things in apostate  theology; they are presented as happening either successively or at the very same time,  but they are presented as two different salvific functions.  “In this most illuminating paragraph, the writer traces two distinct phases in the process  of our salvation—two complementary aspects of the plan of redemption—which are in a  certain sense successive, but at the same time simultaneous; two different operations of  the same righteousness of Christ, which alone can satisfy the demands of divine justice  and make saints of us. Let us analyze in outline form these two phases:  A. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BY WHICH WE ARE JUSTIFIED.  1. It is imputed to us, which is, credited, granted freely without our earning it.  2. It provides our r...

EGW QUOTE ON SINFUL NATURE

We are told that Jesus had our “sinful nature.” “He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ellen G. White, Signs of the Times, 7/30/02. “In him was no guile nor sinfulness,….yet He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ibid. From what we have just read, we see that the term “sinful nature” for Mrs. White does not mean that the person has sin for she says that Jesus was sinfree. But what does sinful nature mean that the person? A. It means human nature affected by sin not infected with  sin. B. It means human nature weakened by sin, but not resided by sin. C. This is the Mind, Emotions/Passions, Flesh and Experience weakened by sin, but not necessarily indwelt by sin. D. It is quite true that man’s sinful nature, a nature weakened by sin, in the average sinner may have sin in it. So sinful nature for the sinner in sin is a nature weakened by sin, but the man has sin in this nature. E. This means the man has sin in his Mind, Passions/Emotions, Experience, and sin in his flesh is sin in his Mi...
