I Have learned after 10 years of this that debating with people with closed minds is not worth my time. That being said, I have been clear that the Catholic dogma of venerating the saints is heretical calling it the dirty bath water. Protestantism was reactionary religion, and some of the worst...

Fair enough, Unity is a unity of the Spirit, and comes when Man has fully surrendered to the Spirit, and they are no longer fighting for their pride and Old nature for the things of this world such as fame and fortune and self aggrandizement. When we put to death the Old man and put on the mind...

Instant sanctification. We are declared righteous not by our works But by His work on the cross, because his blood is an atonement for sin. When God sees us he sees His son and his righteousness, not our sin. Progressive sanctification comes after salvation and is the process of the Law being...

Being a sent One is a totally different thing than a saint. A person who is sent is given the gifts of the Spirit and called to one of the fivefold ministries in the church. Someone who is Sent can also be called to be a saint, But not all who are sent are called to be saints, as was indicated...

Your Putting words in my mouth that I have not said. Please stop that. Sanctification is for all both faithful in Christ Jesus and the saints. Both instant sanctification and progressive sanctification. But much like the Prophets bear a burden so to are saints called to bear a distinct burden...

And then the confusion perpetuates itself, and the conflict remains in the body and the unity of the Spirit is never received, as the status quo is upheld as orthodoxy.... What a shame. There is always contentment in infancy that maturity lacks, But eventually we must put away childish things...

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: ( 1 Peter 2:9) To be called out of darkness is the Work of God, It is we who by our will respond to...

Answer: No I see "All that be in Rome, and those Beloved by God, and saints" being addressed here. Three distinct groups. Romans speaks to unbelievers and believers alike, and if you look at the structure of the book it progresses from unbelief to growing in One's belief to the ramifications of...

Saving faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. (Romans 10:17) The question is, is hearing a choice we make or is it a choice God makes for us by his grace? I Believe an unregenerate person will choose to hear, Thus whosoever will may come to the fountain and be cleansed and...

The above Quote is the answer. When Someone posts a topic here do you always call it a smokescreen? Especially if you do not agree? Wouldn't it be better to just interact with topic instead of labeling it as a smokescreen? This is no different than what we see on university campuses when...

The Only Difference between the faithful and the saints is the choosing of God. Just like not all are called to be prophets and teachers, only some are. If there is one epistle that is directly addressed to the saints it is 2 Peter which opens with those who have Obtained (By Lot) a faith...

How Long now has the church been bouncing between two opinions on the whole predestination and freewill debate? Here I offer you clarity if you will but hear it. It is the very solution to the error on both sides.... Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son...

Sanctification is part of the election, But a saint is no Holier than any other believer, they are not chosen by merit, But by divine choice. When chosen they will be sanctified and taught by the Holy Ghost more so than the faithful in Christ Jesus, in that they will know the heart of God...

Amen and greetings Episkopos. You were on the other Forum as well if I remember correctly? The fifth seal is when that number will be reached. The way I look at it is every believer who loses his head is one step closer to the Day of Christ. DH

That is a great argument against it, and one I had as well when being shown this. The Key that overcomes this is that being a saint is not of our choosing but by the divine Lot of God. All the faithful are called to be saints, but few are chosen. This is where Arminianism and Calvinism can come...

HiH, Thanks for the comment, In response to this I would ask you to do a search of the word saints, especially how Paul Uses the term, You Will find that Ephesians has quite a few of these verses, which make the saints to be apart from the whole of the Body. Paul makes this same distinction at...

Someone else here had a post that asked, "Who are the elect?" This is a partly a response to that post and a post unto itself. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: (Eph. 1:1) Could it be that what most of...
