And my understanding is not inconsistent with that idea. Regeneration is the work of the Lord, that He does not accomplish in a man against his will. For Jesus and the Holy Spirit are a gentleman. Our part is to receive Christ; His part is to come into our hearts and make us new creatures in...

No; I believe that it is a method of confessing Jesus Christ before men in identifying with Him in His death, burial, and resurrection; and that in this, it can in fact be salvational (Matthew 10:32, Luke 12:8).

The apostle John quoted Jesus as saying that.

You are in denial of what these scriptures plainly teach. It is a logical fallacy, also, to say that because a specific passage is silent about a particular doctrine, that said doctrine is not a biblical doctrine. God is Omnipotent, so I suppose that He could have condensed His entire message...

Same Spirit.

If anyone comes to Christ they are of the elect is what you are saying. This is not what I hear from certain Calvinistic sources. They teach that God has chosen in advance who can come to Him and that if He has not chosen them, they cannot come to Him. If this understanding is only based on...

It is not by attempting to obey a set of do's and don'ts that we obtain the righteousness of the Lord (Romans 3:21). We obtain it when we receive the Holy Spirit by faith (Galatians 3:14) and begin to bear the fruit of the Spirit (love) against which there is no law (Galatians 5:22-23). Thus...

They do; in John 8:24 as it is compared to Exodus 3:14 with the biblical hermeneutic of 1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv).

John 1:12 does in fact say that we receive Christ first and then are given the right / power to become the children of God (be born of God). Read the verse again. It is right there for you to read. Jhn 1:12, But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to...

I believe that you are simply in denial of the truth that is taught to us in John 8:24. In His humanity He was created, in His Deity He is from everlasting to everlasting. Rom 1:3, Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; Isa...

The Spirit that descended and took on an added nature of human flesh did not change. For one thing, the Father stayed behind in eternity. And for another, He is the same Spirit, unchanged, who took on an added nature of human flesh.

I'm the one who said baptism is not a work, not @theefaith. Maybe pay closer attention to the monikers themselves; we have similar beliefs about baptism; while I am not Catholic but rather have leanings towards Oneness Pentecostalism.

Yes, it's true that they hold the Watchtower Society to be on the level of the Holy Spirit and their writings to be on a par with scripture. Which is why I will normally encourage a Jehovah's Witness to google "Watchtower false prophecies" so that their eyes might be opened to the fact that the...

I believe that because I asked the Lord to make me into an honourable and holy vessel of mercy, that He did so. For it is written, Mat 7:7, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Mat 7:8, For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that...

Nevertheless, in the kjv, which they claim to accept, the LORD (Jehovah) is said to be the Mighty God in Psalms 50:1.

Now of course you do not have to pinpoint every sin and repent of every sin in order to be justified. The Holy Spirit will do that with every sin in your life once you have been justified; and because you are walking in the direction of righteousness, you will cease from committing specific...

So, you're saying that you don't agree with Calvinism on any issue? In saying that, you would be lying. Because we are not stupid here. We know what Calvinism teaches and we can see that you are attempting to teach the same.

No, it isn't. You are taking that verse out of context. Clearly, everyone in the world will stand before Jesus Christ Himself at the Great White Throne Judgment.

We really should study to shew ourselves approved and if we would all do that, we would all come to the same conclusions as to what the Bible teaches. Of course heresies are a work of the flesh so that gets in the way of some coming to the knowledge of the truth. But the Bible teaches one...

He will deny that he is a Jehovah's Witness but has similar beliefs to them. He will also avoid any discussion of John 1:1-3 and John 1:14 as it seems he knows that these passages defeat his doctrine of the denial of Christ's Deity unless you hold to the New World Translation's rendering of it...
