From The Pelagian Controversy by R.C. Sproul "Even the Council of Trent, which teaches a form of semi-Pelagianism, in its first three canons" . . "However, the struggle within the church now is between the Augustinian view and various forms of semi-Pelagianism, which seeks a middle ground...

Let's hash it out here. Some people are very focused and do not easily go from place to place.

I was referring to the word semi-pelagianism. If I were the devil, I would isolate sound doctrine and then create negative-sounding labels for it so that people would avoid it like the plague. I'm not saying that semi-pelagianism is sound doctrine (because it has not been defined for the sake...

btw, I do know what it (semi-pelagianism) is (though it is pretty far in the back of my mind and I need a refresher: there is such a wealth of information in my brain that the things that I have studied less sometimes need to be restored by a reminder of what they are: my mind cannot immediately...

Jde 1:16, These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

My bad, I didn't see your post before posting what I posted. Also, thank you for reminding me that I am going to heaven (even though I already knew that); for it is written, Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (unfortunately, many...

Because I don't hold to the 3 points of Calvinism that you do? Define semi-pelagian and then quote my words where I promote that doctrine; and then show from the Bible how your view of that doctrinal issue is superior to mine.

In other words, you do not have the ability to show me "the error of my ways."

No kidding, it doesn't make sense. My argument is that hearsay can be a valid source of information.

By all means. I am all ears. (if you love me with any kind of Christian love you will not hesitate to show me the error of my ways): Jas 5:19, Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Jas 5:20, Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his...

The second mistake being what is spoken of here:

Even hearsay can have the ring of truth and be valid information. I believe that the source from which I "heard" what you are calling "hearsay" was someone who had been steeped in Mormonism for many years and had escaped the cult. If "hearsay" isn't valid, then the only people even qualified...

Tritheism is not confined to Mormonism; it can be a misunderstanding of the Trinity among Trinitarians in which the Oneness of the Lord is missed. I emphasize the oneness without disregarding the threeness. Nevertheless I do emphasize the oneness in order to fight against the second mistake...

a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. sect (of Judaism)...which broke off and became a religion of its own. Islam is a world religion. Buddhism is a world religion. ,

Each one of them spent only one lifetime in the word. You might say, but they also drew on previous writings so their understanding of the word was based on a collective understanding. You are assuming that I don't read books. I also draw on the same collective understanding that they have...

If that be the case, then the whole human race will come to Christ, Jhn 6:37, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

It is true that @Jane_Doe22 has me on ignore and therefore is completely deaf to anything that I might say about Mormonism on her thread here. Therefore I can pretty much know that she will not give any answer to the point that I made in post #17 above. Also her last post is clearly in...

Jhn 6:37, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. This would indicate that if someone doesn't come to Jesus it is because the Father didn't give them to Jesus. Can someone come to Jesus without first being given to Him by the...

I have heard that Mormonism's definition as a cult is based on the fact that they change the information as you go deeper in, primarily by redefining words. So, as an initiate Mormon you might be allowed to believe everything that is basically Christian. But as you go deeper in, the...

Just so you know there is exception.
