This does not say read the Bible as a child...this is about receiving the Kingdom as a child...in other words in complete trust and faith. For you to say the Bible is not intended for scholars is another false premise...it is intended for all who will receive it for salvation. This is all I...

I believe the key here is making disciples. Notice He did not say go and make converts. Discipleship is a life long commitment and is more than a weekly event. Discipleship does not happen from a pulpit or an altar. Discipleship is doing life together. "You will be known for your love for...

I am quite certain this frustrates only those who understand. To some logical fallacies are irrelevant...thier indoctrinated stances will never be challenged. I will say the use of this doctrine "sola scriptura" is used out of the context Luther intended by a vast majority. Luther loved the...

I did and it was amazing. At the wall, overcome in the Spirit, I made the proclamation, "There is no other God than the God of Israel!" I do not agree withdrawal is the proper response to the dilemma though, properly educating and discipleship is. Jesus said go out, and as you are going, make...

Amen!

This thread has been cleaned up...lets keep it on topic now. Thanks!

Just a FYI everything that is posted is recorded here still even if you can't see it... Thought you might like to know...

Here then is the gospel as described through the word of God... 1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. 3 For I...

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with...

It is important to note salvation is a work of God. God is the active agent in salvation where man is the passive agent. This is not to say man is to be passive during his life concerning love, pursuing correct doctrine, strengthening his relationship with God, and things of the like. Rather...

According to the broadest meaning as used in Scripture, the term salvation encompasses the total work of God by which He seeks to rescue man from the ruin, doom, and power of sin and bestows upon him the wealth of His grace encompassing eternal life, provision for abundant life now, and eternal...

A textbook example of salvation is those spoken of as the good soil. These are second or third soil at best. God does not start saving some to fail at saving them. God only saves those who are saved.

If these are spoken of as departing from the faith, how can you say they were being saved? WE ALREADY KNOW THEY WILL NOT BE SAVED!

HTE, I assume you speak of Hebrews 6:6...yet you speak of redemption where the author of Hebrews says repentance. 4 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of...

This is Romans 6:6 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin. There is no Romans 10:26

I think this is a better translation of 1 John 3:4 4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. New American Standard Bible: 1995 update. (1995). (1 Jn 3:4). LaHabra, CA: The Lockman Foundation. I agree as we walk in the Spirit we are in harmony with the...

Thank you both...

Here is your personal definition of predestine that I do not agree with... "Predestined is NOT written in stone, as the 10 commandments were, it signifies that if a man faithfully & obediently responds to the leading of the Holy Spirit in their lives, they will accomplish God's plan." ​The...

When you read stipulations into the Romans passage and change the definition of predestination to suit your doctrine then accuse me of this there is something wrong.

The significance of the passage is the inclusion of glorification with it's subject being God and it's tense being aorist; passive. This passage puts no limitations or conditions on the chain. It shows the natural progression of the believer from God's effectual calling to glorification. Thus...
