This conference was held in the spring 2013 in Colorado. It complements the two previous Bible conferences held in Arkansas and Northern Virginia.
In addition to being styled "an apostle to the Gentiles" (Rom 11:13), Paul could also be called the apostle of the Mystery. This "mystery" contained new revelation intended for a new people—the Church—living in a new age or dispensation of God’s plan.
"now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began, but now made manifest, and by the prophetic scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith …" Rom 16:25–26

Ephesians #29

Walking in dependence on the spirit is more than a moral life Gal 5:16-25. "Inheriting the kingdom" (Gal 5:21) refers to awards; salvation is a gift. Not all believers are joint heirs with Christ (Rom 8:17). Unsaved people are living a lie (that they don't need God). We have put away the lie (Eph 4:26) but can live like it - "Do not grieve the Spirit" (Eph 4:30). Five things happen at salvation by the Spirit: (1) baptism 1Co 12:13; (2) regeneration Joh 3:7, Titus 3:5; (3) indwelling Rom 8:9-11; (4) gifts 1Co 12:7; and (5) sealed Eph 1:13. The Holy Spirit is the guarantee of irrevocable "inheritance", common to believers 1Pe 1:24, Joh 14:3. We grieve the Spirit by doing things contrary to Truth. You still can't please God by avoiding the negatives. Doing the positives assures we "Do not quench the Spirit 1Th 5:11-19. Related commands: "Be filled by the Spirit" (Eph 5:18); with what? The Word Col 3:16. "Walk by the Spirit" (Gal 5:16). These are the only ways to "walk worthy" (Eph 4:1).
