Not that I can see. Perhaps you should elaborate your point.

It should be based on sound doctrine, which is what I have proposed. That's right. And the gospel is found in the Holy Bible; every aspect of the Bible has God's words to us (Hebrews 1:1-2). One of my favorite verses. Of course, there is more to the gospel then the crucifixion of Jesus...

I'm a perfectionist myself.

I can be flippant concerning Calvinistic theology; because in my view hyper-Calvinism sets forth the view that God is some kind of cosmic monster who arbitrarily throws people in the lake of fire without giving them an opportunity to believe in His plan of salvation. Some, who are not this...

I didn't write the OP of this thread.

2 Timothy 3:16 tells us that all scripture is inspired of the Lord and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, and for correction in righteousness. 2 Peter 1:3-4 tells us that we can lay hold of promises in the Old Testament and that they will be for our benefit. Hebrews 8:8-10 tells us that...

Why? You are certainly free to espouse your opinion. This is a Message Board, after all.

I do not deny 1 John 1:8-9. I just know that it does not say, "If we say that we do no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." It says something slightly different (read it again). It is talking about indwelling sin rather than practical sinning. Otherwise it is in...

Since there are promises of salvation concerning baptism but there is no condemnation for those who receive baptism, I would say, just get it done. Why take chances on eternity? Why gamble on your fate of going to heaven or otherwise being cast into hell? Just get it done! What are you...

I have only seen @CharismaticLady bear good fruit.

Also Matthew 10:22, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14. These verses are qualified by Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:22, 2 Corinthians 5:5, and Ephesians 4:30. Since we have been sealed by the Holy Spirit, we are motivated by His influence within us to continue in His goodness (Romans 11:20-22; 1...

These things are not to say that I don't have the free will to choose between raspberry and maple syrup on my pancakes in the morning; or, even, when I am drawn by the Holy Spirit to Jesus, to receive or reject His free gift of salvation. See 2 Timothy 3:16. This is also in the NT: 1Ti...

That doesn't change the meaning of the Greek word for "and". It is "kai" and can be truly translated as "even". That Bibles don't translate it that wat in no way changes the fact that this is a meaning of that word in holy scripture. I suppose that Oneness Pentecostals might come up with...

Guilty as charged... Of course I was not thinking of Calvinism when I wrote those posts but was thinking of the Bible. Which I suppose substantiates your point that you are not following Calvin but are seeking to go by what the Bible says. I think that we have all been influenced by Calvin or...

What questions have I asked and where? Are you certain you're not thinking of someone else? I do not think that I promote Calvinism in the slightest...because I don't believe in it (though I do believe in one of its aspects...eternal security...not OSAS but POTS).

They are distinct not separate. In saying, "This is my beloved Son" He is in fact saying "this is me"...assuming that the people who are His audience know what it says in Isaiah 9:6, which is a messianic scripture. The members of the Trinity are in fact distinct but they are also ONE. I...

They were questions that are normally asked by Calvinists.

Hey @DNB, You do realize that @GISMYS_7 is quoting scripture to substantiate his opinions? Do you suggest that we take those scriptures that he is quoting, and cut them out of our Bibles with scissors? (consider the consequences in Revelation 22:19!) You have to somehow deal with the...

It does appear that you follow after his doctrine.

I believe that all of these are answered by the first 6 posts in my thread, True Trinity., and by the understanding that the Greek word for "and" is "kai" which is translatable as "even."
