    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    L - Limited Atonement: hyper-Calvinism teaches that Jesus only died for the elect and that therefore, if you are of the non-elect, you cannot be saved even if you were to do what it takes to enter into salvation (such as the prescriptions in Romans 10:8-13 and Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39). I...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    I am not without indwelling sin, if that is what you are asking. However, I will say that when I am abiding in Christ (walking not after the flesh but after the Spirit), I do not sin; for the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in me in those moments. The element of sin dwelling within us...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    That the Holy Ghost becomes one with the spirit of a man when he is water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins ought to be evident in Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39 and in 1 Corinthians 6:17. Even a broken clock is right two times a day. So, Acts of the...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    How is that a denial of the fact that one receives the Holy Ghost as the result of being water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins?

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    Rom 8:29, For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. This verse would tell us that God predestinated to salvation everyone that He foreknew. Therefore, if He foreknew everyone, He predestinated...

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    So, now you are denying that Jesus is God (see Matthew 7:23).

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    You have three fingers pointing back at you. For, I can prove that you are a deceiver. You have even deceived yourself in your doctrine that denies indwelling sin (1 John 1:8). Nope. Again, you have not looked at all of what I have posted over time on this subject but are isolating...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    I would agree that it has no magical properties. The only significance of water in baptism is in that it provides and accurate representation of death, burial, and resurrection in our identification of that in Christ.

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    The Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to those who repent and are water baptized in Jesus' Name for the remission of sins (Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39).

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    Universalism.

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    Since it is not specified, I think you would have to have a biblical reason for rejecting the idea that it is speaking of spiritual death in James 1:14-16. Do you? If you had looked more closely at what I posted, you would have seen that I champion the doctrine of eternal security in all of...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    Col 2:12, Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. That "circumcision of Christ", "the circumcision which is made without hands", happens in us when we are buried with Christ in baptism...

    Repentance is the Gift Of God !

    It is not false; and what you have said is a lie from the pit of hell.

    No authority!

    That is not talking about the Catholic Church; but of all those who have placed their faith in Jesus for salvation. There are Catholic priests who do not have the Holy Ghost and therefore cannot retain and remit sins. In fact, I would say that it is the majority of them. For I find the...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    Those who believe in water baptism believe that we are justified by "faith in the operation of God." (Colossians 2:12). A broken clock can be right two times a day. My doctrine does not originate from the Jehovah's Witnesses; it originates from the Bible and the Oneness Pentecostal faith...

    Repentance is the Gift Of God !

    Sorry, but Jesus and the Holy Spirit are a gentleman. So, while repentance is from a godly source, it can be rejected by the one to whom God attempts to give it.

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    1 Timothy 2:4, 1 Timothy 2:6, 1 John 2:2, 2 Peter 3:9. You teach that when it says "all" in the above verses, it does not mean all. That is effectively saying that "all" does not mean all. 1 John 4:8, 1 John 4:16. Romans 11:20-22 would tell you that if you think you're born again, but...

    Chart comparing Christianity to different religions

    1) I did not condemn you for your doctrine. For I believe that you said that you do not deny that Jesus is God; only that you deny that the doctrine of His Deity is an essential for salvation. You would be condemned by holy scripture if you disbelieved the former; disbelieving the latter will...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    Okay; tell me what I missed in Ezekiel 33:15 and how 1 John 3:9 does not answer it. The law is a gift given by grace (Psalms 119:29).
