Dear Davy, You are misunderstanding the "time of the end/end of the ages". Christ's words are spirit and they apply spiritually within a person. The "end of the ages" comes to an Elect believer when they are converted/saved. It is not a far off event for the Elect because it will happen to...

Dear Cyd, The book of Revelation is a spiritual prophecy of the New Covenant. The events depicted in the vision John received are spiritual events which happen within a person. Those spiritual events will be kept by the Elect as they travel to their moment of conversion. Rev 1:3 Blessed is he...

Dear Stream, Here is the verse: Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Before I explain the verse above, it is helpful to understand how Christ teaches the truth of the New Covenant. The New...

Dear Mailmandan, Born again believers are the Elect who have been converted. Conversion requires Christ to give the Elect person both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit, followed by the judgment of the Day of the Lord. This judgment will remove the chaff from within them. Converted...

Dear Davy, I posted many scriptures which testify to the truth that the church will become apostate - but this only happened AFTER Paul's death. Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves...

Dear Mailmandan, Since what you said above is true, how do you explain the past violence and murder that has been caused by the church over the past 1800+ years? Where was their love? Millions have suffered and died by the hands of the "church" during those years. And those same "churches"...

Dear Dan Clarkson, Calvin wasn't any different than any other apostate believer - he taught a salvation of mixing works with faith. The Tower of Babel is a "type" for the apostate church. The confusion of languages represents the many different false beliefs taught in it. But there is one...

Dear Davy, As I said, the apostasy of a babe (Early Rain of the Spirit only) is taught in many places of scripture. The apostasy occurs to a babe because they are spiritually blind and carnally minded. The carnal mind hates the things of God and still prefers the crooked way of man's works...

Dear Davy, You said: Nah... the new babe in Christ DOES NOT have to fall away in order to be under Christ's Salvation. The early Elect did not fall away before they were converted because the spirit of anti-Christ had not come into the church yet - but all that changed Paul's death. Acts...

Dear JLB, A "love for the truth" is a gift from God. No man has this love for Him in their natural state: Rom 3:10 As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity...

Dear Doug, For the Elect, the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Latter Rain) gives a person their new birth as a child of God. The child of God is then gathered to heaven (spiritually speaking, not literally). Immediately following this salvation event is the baptism of Fire which destroys the chaff...

Dear Rockerduck, You said: Wrong. Proverbs 16:1 is stating the same of man's heart. Proverbs 16:9 -That a man's heart plans his way. The tongue is God speaking though you. God will put in your mouth what He wants you to say. I've witness that more times than I can remember. You say I am wrong...

Dear Rockerduck, You really didn't answer my question. I'll restate my question: Why do you believe that man's choices don't have to be in accordance with God's "will"? If the "will" of a person changes, it will be reflected in the choices that they make. The two are inseparable. Here...

Dear Rockerduck, Your understanding of what scripture teaches about "free will" and making choices is confusing to me. At first your understanding seemed to be scripturally correct but then you made this statement: You said: We can't freely will anything, but we can make a choice, like Adam...

Dear Gottservent, God's "will" rules supreme. No one has ever resisted God's "will" because mankind does not have a "free" will ability as many suppose. Rom 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet...

Dear amigo de christo, The faith that is being taught on this thread is a faith mixed with works. That false faith produces a self-righteous apostate believer who is rejected by Christ. Also, when a believer mixes their own works with faith, they are trying to serve two masters; Satan and...

Dear amigo de christo, Do you understand that after the death of Paul, scripture teaches that all new believers (babes) will be deceived by the spirit of anti-Christ and will fall from grace? All the Elect will experience the apostasy in their own lives as they travel the "one way to the...

Dear NotTheRock, God the Father will only be "all in all" when Christ finishes the mission that the Father sent Him to accomplish: 1John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. After Christ completes His work, God the Father's Spirit...

Dear Walter and Debbie, I appreciate your "like" that you gave my post in the "Only one way to the Father" thread but I'm not sure what portions of the post you agreed with since my post stated many things. This morning I found this thread that you started and since the subject is one of my...

Dear MatthewG, You should not believe me but you should believe the scriptures I quoted. Scripture says over and over again that mankind does not have the ability to have faith in Christ apart from the Holy Spirit, nor does mankind have the ability to make free will decisions. To believe...
