Dear rwb, That is true. And since Paul's statement is also true, then it is a CERTAINTY that everyone will "believe in Him" before Christ finishes His work of grace. Christ will see to it because that is why Christ came to earth: 1John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father...

Dear Webers_Home, So why didn't Paul just say "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ only some will be made alive"? Your argument makes no sense. Also, how can Christ love and bless all His enemies if He doesn't save everyone? Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that...

Dear Patrick1966, It is taught frequently in scripture but mostly in the spiritual language of Christ. However, James clearly mentions them here: Jam 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath...

Dear Patrick1966, Yes, all means all. I have a couple of questions for you. You certainly understand that Christ is going to save all mankind but do you understand the Pathway to Salvation which the Lord causes His Elect to travel in this age? Do you understand the significance of the...

Dear Miz KJV Only, This teaching is a parable which teaches its truth by spiritual symbols. To unlock the meanings of the symbols, Paul tells us to "compare spiritual things with spiritual" (1Cor 2:13). In other words, the meanings of the symbols used by Christ must come from scripture. We...

Dear Timtofly, There is no reason to continue our discussion since your understanding of "truth" is not coming from scripture. I have shown you the verses which contradict your beliefs but you refuse to accept what they teach. I can do nothing more. Joe

Dear Timtofly, It is most telling that you did not support anything you said in your post with scripture. Most of your statements have no scriptural support at all. Your beliefs are coming from mankind's carnal reasoning and from the deceptions of Satan. You said: Because God did not cause...

Dear Patrick1966, The Kingdom of Heaven doesn't ever come to an end, however, the reign of Christ over the Kingdom of Heaven does come to an end just as Paul stated in 1Cor 15:24. So does Paul have it wrong? Does Christ reign for ever and ever or does His reign come to an end someday? The...

Dear GRACE ambassador, I did not claim that it is taught in scripture. It is my personal estimate based upon world population numbers and how few believers are actually chosen from the "many". It could just as well be 99.999% or even 99.99%. But one thing is certain to me, it is a very high...

Dear Timtofly, Your statements above are not taught in scripture. We "choose" Christ because He gives us the Holy Spirit. Then, from the Spirit within us, our heart and mind is changed. Christ doesn't coerce anyone to make a decision. He changes us from within so that we make the decision He...

Dear Timtofly, You said: The Holy Spirit is at work in every single human from conception. John the Baptist is the prime example. Yes, God works in all mankind but this verse is not teaching about that truth. It is talking about the Early and/or Latter Rain of the Spirit. Without the Spirit...

Dear Patrick1966, Yes, Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and He certainly will not fail as the apostate church believes. As for Rev 22:14-15, you have to understand that the book of Revelation is only teaching on the salvation of the Elect. It is the Elect who "keep the sayings of the...

Dear rwb, Like the other scriptures you don't agree with, you add or subject words from them to make them fit your worldly paradigm. Your understanding of the truth really does not come from scripture. You like to pretend it does but it really doesn't. Until Christ comes to you a second time...

Dear rwb, There are other believers who understand scripture as I do. However, you will not find them in any churches or groups. They are "few" in number. Their fellowship is with Christ and His Father, and when possible, with each other, however, those times are rare. Scripture proves what...

Dear rwb, You said: When one hears the Gospel of salvation, the Word of truth and believes they are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, until the day of redemption of our body when Christ comes again. You are adding "of our body" to the verse. It is not in the verse. Eph 1:13 In whom...

Dear rwb, Ecc 11:1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to SEVEN, and also to EIGHT; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 if the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the...

Dear rwb, You are still confusing receiving the Latter Rain of the Spirit with receiving the Early Rain of the Spirit. They are TWO separate events on the Pathway to Salvation. Only with the Latter Rain (which you quoted in Act 2:4) is a believer converted and saved. You quote the verses...

Dear rwb, You say "earnest" means " assurance but then you quote the definition which says it means a down payment??? I agree with the definition you supplied. The Holy Spirit of Promise is the down payment of the Spirit which seals us UNTIL we are redeemed. A believer is redeemed when...

Dear rwb, The Spirit is given first to us only in an earnest amount (Eph 1:13-14) This earnest amount is called the Holy Spirit of Promise/Early Rain of the Spirit. It is not the Baptism of the Spirit/Latter Rain of the Spirit which the Apostles received on the Day of Pentecost. The reason...

Dear rwb, Eph 6:10-18 is not teaching what you say it is teaching. Paul specifically says that "we wrestle not against flesh and blood". Paul is talking about the spiritual war which occurs within a believer after they receive the Early Rain of the Spirit. The "earnest amount" of the...
