This shows forth that you have a Calvinistic bent in your theology. The reality is that we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:1-2). And therefore, since a person has spiritual life in them through the grace of the Lord, therefore they are not going to have that...

Repentance necessary for salvation.

We must repent of sin.

Men will be thrown into the furnace of fire (Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 13:49-50, Matthew 25:41, Matthew 25:46).

If the fact that he is saved is manifested by the fact that he continues in the faith, that would indicate that if he does not continue, he is not saved; because the fact that he did not continue manifests the fact that he is not saved. So it is true that if he doesn't continue in the faith he...

They pass from death unto life from the moment of first faith. Do you presume to believe that their names were written in the Book of Life "before" that was established in time and eternity?

(cont'd)... Now we receive the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:14) and if we have been given the Holy Spirit, we obey Him (Acts of the Apostles 5:32). There is more to that passage. Rom 8:9, But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God...

This is an article for the magazine in India that is run by a friend of mine, Melchishua Paul. As I have been frequenting internet message boards, the subject has come up of whether repentance is a prerequisite for salvation. Some on the boards have taken the ungodly and unbiblical position...

A person is enabled to hear and see and believe when he or she is drawn by the Father (the Holy Spirit) to Jesus; and does not have to be regenerated before he or she can believe. If the latter were the case, they would have access by grace into this faith wherein they stand. But the scripture...

I believe that they are added to the book of life from the first moment of faith (John 5:24 (kjv)).

Either way, if you don't continue in the faith you are no longer saved. So, why even argue this issue? How much better it is to just exhort everyone to continue in the faith. For it is written, Heb 3:12, Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing...

Of course biblical predestination is according to foreknowledge (Romans 8:29, 1 Peter 1:2 (kjv)).

I disagree. I think that those who do not believe (are condemned already) can cross over into faith in Jesus Christ.

We can in fact be given pure minds (2 Peter 3:1).

He did. Jde 1:3, Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Jde 1:4, For there are certain men crept in unawares...

Not from eternal hell; while they might be saved for a season from sin (Matthew 1:21, Titus 2:14) and from the kingdom of hell for a season. They also might cross over into a heart faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10) and enduring to the end (Matthew 10:22, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14)...

However, receiving life does not come first, as the Calvinists preach erroneously that receiving life does come first (before believing). It is scripture. We are saved by grace as the result of faith (Luke 8:12, Romans 5:1-2, Ephesians 2:8-9). These are basic scriptures in Christianity 101...

Those who have a heart faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10) and enduring to the end (Matthew 10:22, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14) have been sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14, Ephesians 4:30, 2 Corinthians 1:22, 2 Corinthians 5:5) and cannot be lost. But there is also a...

When he said that the book of Hebrews "ruined my faith", he implied that I don't walk uprightly, if you take into account Micah 2:7. I am not going to go dig up the post; you are going to have to take my word for it that he said it to me; because I would know that he said it to me. They are...
