    Once Saved Always Saved

    Clearly, Romans 5:1-2 refutes your theology; which is why you don't want me to quote it any more. We are made alive through saving grace; and we have access to saving grace through our faith. I think that John 1:12 also refutes your theology. Because if your Calvinistic point of view were...

    “Repent of Sins” And Find Yourself Damned...

    I'm glad that you at least acknowledge the truth here. You would do well to make your statements in such a manner so as not to need correction in order for the truths that you have just typed out to be made evident. God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). So, don't make...

    “Repent of Sins” And Find Yourself Damned...

    I think that I have left you in the dust as concerning this "Lucky Repentance" thing... For, I have show time and time again that repentance is a necessary thing when it comes to our salvation in Christ; and you have not been able to refute any of my teachings on the matter. Here is what...

    Thank you, though, for providing a springboard so that I can preach the true gospel.

    “Repent of Sins” And Find Yourself Damned...

    So, stop saying that "whoever asks to be saved will be saved"...for that is not entirely accurate. A person can ask to be saved and yet not come to God through Jesus Christ. But scripture is clear that Jesus is the only way to salvation (John 14:6, Matthew 7:13-14).

    Once Saved Always Saved

    And you also have never been able to rebuke me. To rebuke would be to put to silence by showing incontrovertibly from scripture that the position of the one rebuked is faulty. I have done this with you...yet you continue to attack my doctrine as though it were from the devil himself. It is...

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Nope...because not everyone who says to Him, Lord, Lord, has necessarily repented so that they do the will of the Father. Mat 7:21, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Therefore you...

    Once Saved Always Saved

    Never devoid of insults. That is the good fruit that we like to see in a good tree (Matthew 7:15-20).

    Once Saved Always Saved

    No, I have not said that Romans 10:13 is invalid. Just that your paraphrase of it is invalid; because it includes Muslims and unbelievers in salvation. The verse in question says, Rom 10:13, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I would simply contend that the...

    Once Saved Always Saved

    (follow my reasoning...) Those who stop believing today, did they believe in Christ before today? If they stopped believing, then they believed. So, they were partakers of Christ if the answer to the first question is always yes (that those who believe today, are always partakers of Christ)...

    Calvinist Question

    However, the person who is drawn to Christ will not necessarily come to Christ. When the person is drawn to Christ, he or she now has a choice of whether he or she will believe and receive Christ, or have unbelief and reject Christ. The person who comes to Christ has been drawn by Christ...

    Jesus is God in human flesh, the Savior of the world and the Head of the church which is His bride.

    Jesus is in fact the Christ (1 John 5:1); which, interpreted, means "Messiah".

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    I consider that someone might be a Christian who is not born again; under loosely defined terms as a "nominal Christian" (Christian in name only). A Christian is anyone who basically says to Jesus, "Lord, Lord." See Matthew 7:21. If the question is, "When is a Christian ever not going to...

    Calvinist Question

    The one who comes to Him, not necessarily the one whom He has drawn.

    Calvinist Question

    They receive and believe and are then give the right to become children of God. They do not become a child of God and then receive and believe; according to that scripture. Believing and receiving comes first.

    Repentance necessary for salvation.

    It should be clear that whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God (1 John 5:1)... And that it is true of these that they "cannot sin" (1 John 3:9).

    Biblical Salvation

    Those who are "condemned already" (John 3:18) are not necessarily always condemned. They can come to faith in Jesus Christ. That means that their names can be written in the Book of Life because they have placed their faith in Jesus, when they do so. But they are not written there...

    You call that the beginning of a flame war? Here is something better... I think that makes you a TSI (thin-skinned individual). Since you have already accused me of flaming, I don't find it to be unconscionable to respond with what might be determined as a flame. Since I am showing, by...

    Once Saved Always Saved

    I don't think that the Lord is going to hold me accountable for not listening to someone who, by definition, is deceiving himself and the truth is not in him (1 John 1:8) over the fact that he denies the faithful doctrine of indwelling sin. Of course my ministry is primarily on these boards...
