The people of Jerusalem; not "all" the people of Jerusalem.

If Romans 4:11 is not only speaking of physical circumcision then circumcision of the heart is not a requirement for salvation. Those who have not been thus sanctified will receive entire sanctification when they receive their glorified bodies. I will say that I believe that entire...

Do me a favour and don't give me any grace because of my illness that you wouldn't give to other people who don't have an illness. I don't want any special treatment. As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. I can use the sharpening that takes place because of disagreements and the...

It says that they went out to John, which we find all of these doing. The sentence structure does not indicate that they were all baptized of him.

I really don't want you to coddle me, friend.

I suppose that we will have to agree to disagree. Don't wait too long for the Lord to save you. He is calling you to repent today. Repentance is unto salvation. A person being drawn by the Holy Spirit, while not yet saved, can repent and be saved. That is saying that all the country of...

Not only are vaccines now on the market (and thus all of this hype about coronavirus appears to me to be a lie of the media)... But also, we have remdesivir and regeneron as treatments. Therefore, there is no reason why we can't go back to normal soon....except for the fact that the liberal...

It is dealt with by medicine that I take, possibly. I don't know for sure. The medicine is forced on me; it is my normal prayer that the Lord will transmute the medicine so that it is not pharmakeia; and that He will guard my heart and mind with His peace that passes all understanding. If I...

repentance unto salvation. Not sure what your point is.

I didn't say this regarding you...but I have heard it coming from certain pulpits. And what do you mean, "another one"? Where have I ever falsely accused you? As a matter of fact I have defended you in times past.

I love you too. God bless you. :) Yes, I was a local minister at a Nazarene Church; but my mental illness got in the way and I had to resign.

Not sure what your point is.

You can say all you want about repentance but if the rest of your doctrine downplays it, it is only empty words. Kind of like those who say that God wants you to be holy but that sinning is inevitable in this life. They are speaking out of both sides of their mouth. And also, please show an...

The righteousness that we receive from the Lord (Romans 5:17) is not impractical (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6).

I'm beating a dead horse because you quoted Calvin? How does that follow logically? It doesn't; it is a non-sequitur.

We obtain the promises of God (such as what is written in Psalms 91) by faith (Hebrews 11:33, 2 Peter 1:3-4, 2 Corinthians 1:20, Romans 4:20-22). A person may in fact be a believer and yet not able to obtain such promises, for whatever reason. He may believe in the promises of God for...

He keeps us walking in His goodness (see Romans 11:20-22) so that we are not cut off from the olive tree that is His church (those who place their trust wholly in Jesus and what He did for them for their salvation).

Are you, here, saying that repentance is not necessary for salvation? If you are, then you have proved my point quite nicely...that Calvinistic doctrine downplays repentance If you aren't, then what are you trying to say by these verses?

Rom 11:20, Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: Rom 11:21, For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Rom 11:22, Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell...

Nope, that is eisegesis. "All men" means what it says...."all men".
