The continuation to the post; Imputed and imparted righteousness Explained. By Nyron Medina

The continuation to the post; Imputed and imparted righteousness Explained. By Nyron Medina
r. Imputed Righteousness is here presented as actually making us righteous. Why did Mrs. 
White not say “imparted”? Because imputed means imparted. 
“In ourselves we are sinners, but in Christ we are righteous. Having made us righteous 
through the imputed righteousness of Christ, God pronounces us just, and treats us as 
Just.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages Book 1, p. 394. (Emphasis supplied).

Conclusion
62. When a deceived person teach that Justification is by imputed Righteousness alone, and 
does not impart anything to the believer as imparted Righteousness does, it takes only a 
short while for the person to deteriorate in his doctrines to eventually develop a concept 
that states that (a). No change is in the justified person, (b). It is God’s attitude that 
changes, not man’s state, and (c). The man is justified while in the state of sinning. 
Observe these following quotations. 
a. We are told that it is a mistake to claim that justification actually changes the believer
producing any righteousness in him. 
“… the single most serious flaw in trying to understand justification is to suppose that it 
means “to make righteous” in the sense of actually producing righteousness in the one 
justified …” Philip De Courcy, Standing Room Only, p. 320. 
“In fact, justification effects no actual change whatever in the sinners nature or 
character. Justification is a divine judicial edict. It changes our status only …” John 
MacArthur quoted in, ibid, p. 321. 
b. Justification is blasphemously presented as God having to change His attitude and not 
change man’s sinful state. 
“In biblical terms, justification is a divine verdict of “not guilty-fully righteous.” It is the 
reversal of God’s attitude towards the sinner. Whereas He formerly condemned, He 
now vindicates.” Ibid, p. 322. 
c. The justified believer is justified while in the act of sinning, isn’t that spiritually gross? 
“When Paul mentions justification, he means the act of God at salvation whereby He 
declares the believing sinner righteousness while still in a sinning state.” Charles 
Swindoll quoted in, ibid, p. 339. 
63. All these are false and dangerous doctrines, fallouts from a false understanding of 
imputed and imparted righteousness that is today deeply saturated in the so-called 
Christian world. May God help all such people that go through this study to come out of Babylon before it is too late. Revelation 18:1-4.


End.

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...
