You have been corrected on these terms already, but for the sake of the argument here, let's follow your reasoning to its logical conclusion. If a Biblical concept is rendered null and void because the "label" assigned to it is not found in Scripture, then you must consistent and reject the...

Again, there is no such thing as "Roman Catholic Language." Latin was around long before the RCC. Again, "rapture" = "rapiemur" = "harpazo" = "caught up." You're objection to the word "rapture" is completely ignorant and irrational. And once again, you have ignored the clear teaching of Acts 1:11.

Mat 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Mat 16:25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. So “to carry the cross” is a figurative expression...

What exactly did I misunderstand? You made a statement regarding what Calvinists believe about preaching and evangelism. "Probably" and "as much" is just as incorrect and "definately" and "never." You either said it or you didn't. It's either correct or it's not. You did say it and it is...

Thank you Miss Hepburn. I'm glad you found my comments helpful. :)

No... as I pointed out "rapture" comes from the Latin translation of "harpazo" which is in Scripture. This isn't open for debate. It's a fact. Whether Latin or Greek, "caught up" means "caught up" and all of your spiritualizing doesn't change that. Also, there is no such thing as "Roman Catholic...

This is not the Calvinist position on evangelism at all. Christ comands us to witness to all indiscriminately, not sit back and wait for the elect to be hand delivered. Many of the famous missionaries and preachers of centuries past were all Calvinist. Charles Spurgeon, Jonathan Edwards, George...

Heavenly Father I pray that you would be pleased to conform Tony to the image of your Son and to work in him/her to will and to work for your good pleasure as Scripture says. I also ask that you would provide Tony with all of the necessities of life and the tools to help his/her family. Amen

Benoni, Your posts are extremely confusing. So basically you're saying that "caught up" doesn't mean "caught up?" Do you not realize that "rapture" means the same as "harpazo" (caught up)? You also seem to be spiritualizing Christs second coming. What would you like to do with Acts 1:11...

Hi Adstar, I'm a confessional five point Calvinist. Despite Benoni's never ending emphasis on God's sovereignty and predestination, I can assure you that he is not a Calvinist. His teachings are unbalanced, exaggerated and do not come even close to any Reformed confessional documents. But...

I'm not sure what Bible you're reading, but Christ's coming again is clearly taught in Scripture. 1 Thessalonians 4 is a prime example of this. Also, our word "rapture" comes from the Latin "rapiemur." This is the word Jerome used in the Latin Vulgate to translate the Greek word "harpazo"...

Hello Miss Hepburn, I know that you requested opinions, but on a topic of such great importance I can't help but have Scripture inform my opinion. The reason that God has appointed faith as the means by which we embrace salvation is very simple. Jesus paid the penalty for our sins in our...

I just found this in my rss feed. It seems appropriate. http://reformedbaptistfellowship.wordpress.com/2009/12/11/john-macarthur-on-charles-spurgeon-worldly-preaching/

I give up. :o

One again Benoni, I agree that faith is the gift of God. But, that's not the point of this thread. Let's try this again. From my previous post:

Yes... Spurgeon was a man tried by fire.

Once again Benoni, you're way off-topic with your hobbyhorse doctrine. Allow me to assist you. The question at hand here is, is faith alone God's appointed appropriating instrument for justification or is it faith + works? Could it be that works and obedience are rather the fruit or result of...

It's sad that this "pastor" has such a huge following. Can you imagine anyone sitting in front of him and gladly listening to such nonsense? I even hear some laughing in the background. It's truly disgusting.

If you want to go deeper into God's Word, Pastor Perry Noble has a message for you. The one minute video is at the end of the blog post. See video here

As a confessional Calvinist (which you are not) I would agree. But what does this have to do with this thread? Why do you feel the need to interject such things in almost every thread and every post? Maybe you should take the time to look at the OP very carefully. It has nothing to do with the...
