What does the word "access" mean to you?

@BreadOfLife, Did you know that you can know that you (right now) have everlasting life? 1Jo 5:13, These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

I try to make my comments relevant to the person that I am talking to.

I guess I am ignorant in that I did not read the book. It didn't belong to me, but I saw it in the hands of another person. Is it not logical to conclude that if there is an entire book devoted to a subject, that the content of the book would indeed contain the information that substantiates...

The law doesn't save; however it does have the power to convert the soul through the fact that it shows us that we are sinners in need of a Saviour. Psa 19:7, The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Rom 3:20, Therefore...

I don't go that far personally. I do believe that we ought not to take chances on not being baptized in Jesus' Name, but I do not judge as unsaved those who have not received this ordinance. Also, I believe that 1 Corinthians 12:27-31 makes it clear that salvation is not limited only to those...

The real issue is not what @101G (or anyone else for that matter) believes, but what the Bible teaches. Here the implication is that Calvinism isn't Christian. You, who take the stance of Calvinism, define your opponent as a Christian, and observe that Christians are primarily ignorant. This...

Jhn 14:20, At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. Tit 3:14, And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. Yes, those who confess Jesus as their Lord make up the true church, and this body of believers...

I remember seeing an entire book that was written about how Calvinism is weighed against John 3:16 and found wanting, but I never got a chance to read the book. It suffices me to know that there is a book written on the subject.

Jesus taught us that love is the fulfilling of the law... In this, if I love my neighbor as myself, I am not going to break any of the commandments that teach me on how I am to treat my neighbor. If I love the Lord my God with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength, I am not going to...

A little later, He prays for everyone who will believe on Him through their word...and this is potentially everyone in the world, though we know that not everyone will believe. But the point being that if someone believes, they will not be excluded from salvation for that God didn't choose...

He should become an Arminian...because John 3:16 refutes Calvinism.

You failed to quote the whole passage: Eze 36:25, Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. Eze 36:26, A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away...

I'm glad you asked. I believe that baptism in water can be a point of contact (like the handkerchiefs that they took from Paul when he was working) for faith. Now, obviously, there are scriptures that speak of salvation by faith, even apart from baptism. So I say that baptism is not...

It is the work of the Holy Ghost from start to finish....and it is my choice. The Holy Spirit is a gentleman. Psa 110:3, Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. Rev 3:20, Behold, I stand at...

Even in logical thinking it can be said that there is an exception to every rule. Not in reply to #397.

Mat 12:31, Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. edited post #394 (Calvinism is a Cult).

No, because the sin of unbelief will only be forgiven if it is repented of and the person puts their faith in Jesus. So yes, technically, Jesus didn't die for the sin of unrepentant unbelief (which has been identified as blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, or, the unpardonable sin, by some Bible...

"Repent" is not a word that registers in the mind of the Calvinist preacher, it is not in his vocabulary. Because the Calvinist gospel does not require it. However, Jesus spoke of it: Luk 13:1, There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had...

Nope, however repentance (turning from unbelief to faith) is the condition for forgiveness. When this happens, the former sin of unbelief is forgiven. Sins do not get forgiven when the person is unrepentant and there is no change of direction, so that he will continue to walk in them.
