I think that time and chance happen to everything (Ecclesiastes 9:11). People are more or less disposed to receive the gospel based on what their life has been up to the time that they are presented with it. There may be a variety of other factors. The Lord knows what all of these factors...

In reincarnation, a person dies, gets reincarnated, dies again, gets reincarnated, dies again. The Bible teaches that it is appointed to man once to die; and after this the judgment.

Real faith is an attitude of obedience, it follows that obedience will result out of a genuine faith; therefore I am in agreement. Abraham was only justified by works in that his works showed forth that he had a genuine faith. Before man, he was justified by works. Before the Lord, it was...

It is unbiblical. Heb 9:27, And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

I'm sorry I couldn't find your response (or point) in that link.

Men harden their hearts to the work of the Holy Spirit when He attempts to impart faith to them.

Forbidding the clergy to marry is still forbidding marriage. I will rebuke those who deserve rebuking. Such good fruit you bear!

I do believe that TULIP falls in on itself when you look at it in depth. Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8a); which indicates to me that Irresistible Grace is the reality. This leads us to believe either in Limited Atonement or Universalism (there is no middle ground as far as I can tell)...

Keep it up with that bearing of such good fruit! 1Ti 4:1, Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1Ti 4:2, Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron...

Truly, Jesus said, This is the work of God, that you believe on Him whom He sent. He is saying that if you are going to insist that you are going to be saved by works, then the only work that will save you is going to be a simple faith in Jesus Christ. No verse says that faith is obedient...

Rather, it is the Lord who imparts faith: and it is not a reason for boasting for those who have faith; but rather an indictment on those who don't.

We appropriate the blood of the Cross through faith.

A Christian who is truly born again, however, is obedient to the Lord and would not do things such as what you have listed; because such things are things that would grieve the Holy Spirit. I know that there are many who identify themselves as Christians according to your definition who are not...

And actually, faith is belief in Jesus Christ in such a manner as to obtain forgiveness. And whoever is forgiven much, loves much (Luke 7:36-50, 1 John 4:19, Romans 5:5). Therefore the root of our obedience is love; and the root of our love is having been forgiven through simple belief in what...

In James 2:24, works justifies because it shows forth the fact that the person's faith is genuine, i.e. that the person has an obedient attitude. Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). Before God, a person is justified by faith alone, which is...

WRONG. Scripture indicates that we obtain the love of the Lord through faith (Galatians 3:14, Romans 5:5). We must ask the question: if someone's understanding of the Lord's nature is slightly off, but that same someone has a relationship with Jesus Christ and loves God, will not their faith...

Again, you are only slightly off. Faith/belief = an obedient attitude. Since we are not saved by works, but we are saved through faith, faith/belief cannot = obedient action/works.

Show us one example of someone being baptized in the titles.

The love of the Lord is shed abroad in the heart of the believer because of faith (Galatians 3:14, Romans 5:5) There is clearly one Lord in scripture (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6); and that Lord is the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). However, no one can say that Jesus is the Lord...

My Bible says "stedfastness". 2Pe 3:17, Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. To be compared to: Col 2:5, For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the...
