The Bible is full of principles and one of them is: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” In other words, for any one to be saved he must be under the hearing of the true Gospel. Those whom God elected before the foundation of the world are the ones who will respond...

Remember, the command was “the wages of sin is death”. By disobedience, Adam and Eve died a physical death and spiritual death. God said He created everything good including Adam and Eve. God knew however, that they would sin so He planed a salvation before the foundation of the world to save...

I'm sorry for this late response, I've come across this post just a few minutes ago. Are you serious that it is out of the Thessalonians faith, love and hope that these acts and characteristics sprung? How did you come by to understand that the content is very clear that faith itself is not a...

Revelation 19:11 reads: And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. We see that the very essence of faith is Jesus! Here is a test for all who believe (pardon the pun) that they...

I thought I was merely doing the work of the Lord as He gave me a command to TEACH all nations to observe all things that He had commanded as per Matthew 28:20 When a child of God declares the word of God isn't he preaching? To God Be The Glory

For the sake of your accusations that I do not address issues but instead deny them, I will let the Bible speak for me so that you may understand perfectly. Ro 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which...

I hope the explanations below helps. We read in Ephesians 2:8-10: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before...

God only saves those He elected to salvation before the foundation of the world. But if God wishes to save all He can do that. There is nothing impossible to God. God abides by His own rules and He does not have a set of rules for Himself and another for man. John 3:16 is the most quoted verse...

I beg to differ. According to the Bible, FAITH IS A WORK! 1 Th 1:3 reads: Remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father Below is my analogy/scenario. Here is a kingdom and an edict (choose...

I suppose people have many different ways to interpret scriptures. I follow the rules set forth in Mr 4:34 that God spoke in parables and without a parable He did not speak. A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly/spiritual meaning and this makes the Bible a story book. Mr 4:11-12 reads...

Believers are they who have become saved. It seems you are trying to limit the salvation power of God. In fact, God says what He will do and say will be accomplished. Contrary to other beliefs, when God saves someone that person will eternally be saved and will be raised up on the last day...

It is NOT that OSASers insist on using the word “lose” in identifying the doctrine of OSAS, but because the Bible teaches that. For instance, we read in Jo 6:44 that no one can come to Jesus unless he is drawn by the Father/ The term, “I will raise him up at the last day” in John 6 cannot be...

The only thing to do for the NON-OSASers, I suppose is to pray and ask God to give them wisdom and to change their hearts.

The phrase “slain in the Spirit” was coined by theologians and pastors, they feel there is some kind of spiritual significance, especially in the Pentecostal congregation however, the opposite is true. Being “slain in the Spirit” is equivalent to “calling fire from heaven” which MEANS to be...

That's a true statement, ATP. And, how can a saved person lose his salvation if Christ lives in him? That's an impossibility! Ga 2:20 reads: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of...

Fair enough. BTW, scholars call the manifestation of God a "theophony". To God Be The Glory

Ultimately, every sin is willful! There are no incidental or accidental sin. How can a man break free from the bondage of sin? HE CAN'T! Man can only cry out to God like the publican of Luke 18 as he cried, “have mercy on me a sinner”. To God Be The Glory

I'm sorry this response is late in coming, the reason is I couldn't remember the scripture references I wanted to convey however, I did respond but put it in the wrong topic and thread. I suppose this is why I never did get a response or perhaps, you were just busy. The term “NO MAN HAS EVER...

Thank you for your response. I too am bilingual but unlike you did nothing to hone my language skills. In my country there are 300 dialects and in order to communicate with each other we had to study our national dialect in school, and even then have difficulties communicating with each other...
