Dear face2face, You said: 15:14 Simeon has explained how God first concerned himself to select from among the Gentiles a people for his name. Ac 15:14. KJV has "to take" here it has "to select" to mean its an invitation. Salvation is essentially the calling of God. To fit what Peter said into...

Dear face2face, You said: True...a gift only to those who seek to understand & believe "Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? Acts 11:17 You keep falling back to mankind having the ability...

Dear face2face, You said: Yes the free gift of grace has the potential to save the many, that is true however not all will be saved. Why do you believe Christ can't save all mankind when scripture clearly teaches that Christ will save all mankind? There are many, many verses which state this...

Dear face2face, You are making assumptions about what "many" can mean. It can mean "all" just as Paul used it in Heb 9:28 and just as he uses it below: Rom 5:15 But shall not the act of favour be as the offence? For if by the offence of one the MANY have died, much rather has the grace of...

Dear face2face, It's not my gospel. It's Christ's gospel. I showed you the scriptures but you refuse to believe them. Joe

Dear 12question, Before Christ appears to a believer, they must receive both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit. When they receive the Early Rain, they will have a measure of faith and certain spiritual gifts. It is at this point they will make a confession of faith and will enter the...

Dear face2face, The cost? The cost is the suffering and death of Christ on the cross plus His spiritual work that He is presently performing under the New Covenant. There is no other cost because mankind cannot contribute anything toward their own salvation. Secondly, the tares, goats and...

Dear face2face, I wanted to make one more point which may be why you asked the question in the first place. The "we also" in verse 11 is in contrast to the "all things" mentioned in verse 10. Here is the full scripture: Eph 1:10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him...

Dear 12question, It is good to find another believer on the forum who understands that Christ will actually complete the mission His Father gave Him to save the world. You said that two years ago Christ opened your eyes to this truth. I'm just curious, what else did the Lord show you at that...

Dear face2face, The "we" are the Elect. They are the heirs who will receive the reward of having life during the ages and the honor of reigning with Christ over the "lost" in the final age. In the farming analogy, the Elect are called the First Fruits of the harvest of mankind (the early...

Dear 12question, I just wanted to say that the blood of Christ "will" (still future) remove all the sin of all mankind by the end of the final age. This is when all mankind will be converted and will be "in Christ". Until a person is converted, they are not covered by His blood. Christ...

Dear Berean, The strong delusion is the spirit of anti-Christ and the lie is that Satan is Christ and his apostate church is the true church. 2Cor 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is...

Dear Douggg, Matthew chapter 24 teaches the pathway to salvation. The events that Christ describes are spiritual events which happen within a believer. When the ends of ages come upon an Elect believer, they will be converted. 1Cor 10:11 Now all these things happened to them as types, and...

Dear gordon7, It still sounds like you believe in man's work and that mankind has the ability to decide if they will be a vessel of honor (the Elect/First Fruits) or a vessel of dishonor. Is that the case? Or do you believe, as I have been presenting, that the Elect are Christ's workmanship...

Dear gordon7, Much of what you stated is true but your understanding of what you stated is false. Mankind is created spiritually marred and subject to vanity. There are no exceptions. Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again...

Dear 12question, Yes, it is good news for the Elect and it will be good news for the rest of mankind by the end of the next and final age. However, once all mankind has been saved, Christ and the Elect's reign will come to an end when the Kingdom of Heaven is delivered up the Father. Only then...

Dear gordon7, I assume your post is your answer to my question but you lack any commentary on those scriptures so I still don't know if you believe that Christ is the Savior of the world or not. 1John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the...

Dear gordon7, I read your posts but I can't really understand what you are trying to say. According to God's Word, do you believe that Christ going to save all mankind or is He not? Joe

Dear Rella, When a believer is converted, their spiritual blindness will be healed by the "Spirit of Truth" (Latter Rain). After it is healed, the "man of sin' will be revealed to them (2Thes 2:8) and they will "see" the Abomination of Desolation (Mat 24:15) that previously occurred with...

Dear Rella, I completely understood your post and answered your question as to why there are so many different understandings of God's Word. I will restate my post below using additional scripture to make my answer clearer: Everything that causes a believer to "be a believer" comes from...
