    When are God's Elect Justified?

    The promise is to His people though, not the unbelieving world. And God has foreknown His people. Peter is writing to the church, which includes those who will be saved in time who are known to God. None of the apostles letters are written for people who will never believe. it says it right...

    Yes, Known to God from Eternity are all His works. Galatians 4 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children...

    Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    Romans 5, Christ in Our Place 6 For when we were still without strength, [d]in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were...

    What is the mystery that Paul references in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52? Is it the rapture (catching up to Christ) as pretrib teaches or something else?

    No it is not found in the gospels, any who read will see it is not. There is none of the DETAILS in 1 Thess 4 as described in Mark 13. Mark 13 24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; 25 the stars of heaven will fall, and...

    For we say this to you by the Lord’s [own] word, This must have been spoken out as a prophecy in the early church. And was accepted by the Apostles as truth as God bore witness to it within them, as coming from the Lord. It is not found in the Gospels.

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    I suppose that is the natural human feeling. We should though be spiritually minded, and consider the spiritual things God teaches us in His word. And also Keep His word in our heart. And what I read in His word teaches me that God chose me from the beginning to be saved. That would be the...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    Scripture clearly states that no one seeks for God, they are all unprofitable. So God seeks whom He will to save. And that we are born again according to His mercy for us, individually, as not all believe, not all are born again by the Spirit. The Spirit blows on whom He wills. Jesus describes...

    And being born again by His Spirit is according to His will for any particular person, not influenceable by you.

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    I read it as it says. As you wrote, the first, not the second. To me, God must grant you to come to Christ. And your belief in Christ, God granted. God as prime mover, directed to the particular man, man responds positively, receiving Him., as God has changed their heart. Phillipians 1, also...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    Christ does not lose what God has given Him. In Christ saying it is God's will that none of those given Him be lost except for the son of Hell to fulfill scripture, this was understood to be absolute, as in impossible to occur. John 6 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will...

    God has fore ordained, fore appointed we who believe as the children of God. And it is also true that this is why we have believed, because were fore appointed to believe in Christ. There is no uncertainty in our individual salvation. We on our human side may not feel it, but if you read...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    As it reads in Romans 4, this is implied, and also as it is certain, without any doubt, what God has ordained to occur. However, to fulfill all righteousness, there is a process that had to be performed, or say walked out in, in our time. Similar to when John said this here, and Jesus...

    No SCOTUS rulling yet on the Immunity????????????

    Republicans, and some centrist Democrats, are broadly opposed to adding more justices to the Supreme Court. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced a constitutional amendment in 2021 that would ensure only nine justices could serve on the court at a time. “The Democrats’ answer to a Supreme Court...

    No SCOTUS rulling yet on the Immunity????????????

    This ruling is why democrats want to pack the supreme court with chosen liberal democrat justices. Why 9, why not 31? Just more politics as usual from them democrats.
