The security is both conditional and eternal.

No, I was not deathly sick... I happened to have prayer cover from a friend in India, so the virus did not overly harm or make me sick. In fact, for the majority of people who have it, it comes and goes. Less than 1% of the people who get it actually die from it. Not to mention the fact...

It hardly even affected me. I think that the effects of this virus have been exaggerated to be honest with you.

There is a prayer in Psalms 118:25 that I think you should understand. The person who prays it may indeed not be a covetous person; but prays it because he knows that "money answereth all things." (Ecclesiastes 10:19).

In Calvinism, repentance is not necessary for salvation because the person who repents has already been saved. Why repent then if you have already been saved without it?

John 5:24 (kjv).

I was once given an award for humility and proceeded to pin it up on my wall...

Let everyone notice the date of the OP...before the coronavirus started its reign of terror.

There is still a chance, if the saints pray hard enough, that the year of discrimination will not come in 2021.

Again, I am not advocating that we refuse to implement necessary precautions (apart from not assembling together at all). I even in the OP did say that we ought to wear a mask and continue to practice social distancing; and I believe that also in this thread I said that I myself did not go to...

Even if I cannot quote a Calvinistic source saying specifically that repentance is downplayed in Calvinism, it is clear to me that this idea is inherent in the doctrine. You can believe what you want about it. When I read the doctrines of Calvinism, I see clearly that repentance is downplayed...

I love you too. God bless you. :)

I think he is saying, not that we are saved through doing good works; but that we will most assuredly do good works if we are truly born again. If we believe in Jesus we have the Spirit (Galatians 3:14). Through the Spirit we receive the love of the Lord (Romans 5:5). This love is never...

This is very vague and I'm not sure what your point is. Please elaborate.

I'm only just thankful that there was still a sacrifice for sins after I willfully sinned because I finally became able to repent. Really, to be faithful to the scripture (Hebrews 10:26-31), there was no sacrifice for the sin that I committed willfully; but Hebrews 12:5-11 kicked in and I was...

He also promotes the sinner's prayer from time to time. I believe that a person can be given material prosperity apart from their coveting it and maybe even because they are not coveting.

It is inherent in the doctrine. Thank you for agreeing with my "Nope." Both of those statements = Universalism. One of them has to be wrong (I think I will pick the one to be wrong that isn't a verse in the Bible. All men everywhere? That is, again, Universalism; a very base heresy.

So, you are saying that we are coming into a time when the church in America is going to be like the underground church in Communist countries, is that correct? I have ushered, vacuumed, taken out trash, done evangelism; and probably other things also that don't bear mentioning. I was a local...

If anyone repents and places their trust in Jesus Christ and what He did for them on the Cross, they are saved. Calvinism kind of downplays the whole repentance thing, impaho; so I would say that there is less of a likelihood that any Calvinist is truly born again.
