I don't insist that...what I say is that the law of the Lord governs us from the inside but no longer has the power to condemn us from the outside if we have received Jesus as Saviour and Lord.

Predestinated to hell according to foreknowledge.

Of course, one of the main reasons there is division in the body of Christ is because men became teachers to pander to itching ears, and wrote translations other than the kjv in contradiction to the truth. Thus it is fulfilled: 2Ti 4:3, For the time will come when they will not endure sound...

In order for a person to come to Jesus, he must be given to Him by the Father. This would indicate that if someone does not come to Jesus, it is because he was not given to Him. Jde 1:3, Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to...

Not if you are trusting in your works to save you. Which, I'm sorry to say, is a major teaching of the Catholic Church (that you are saved by your works to some degree). I find in my encounters with people that it is normally the unbelievers who claim that we are using circular reasoning...my...

Preaching the faith is to preach the forgiveness of sins; and subsequent sanctification in the life. Yes, repentance is a part of the way of entry. However, we are not preaching that we are sinlessly perfect. 2Co 4:3, But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 2Co 4:4, In whom...

He wants us to seek Him above all else. Deu 4:29, But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Jer 29:13, And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Psa 27:8, When...

More than the three hours a day that I already do? I would be swamped with reading. The reason that I study right now is because I enjoy being in God's word and that He has exhorted me to diligence in reading the quota that I have every day. If I actually put it on myself to do more than I...

I think that my only answer to you is that you need to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour; and cease trusting in your own works to save you but rely wholly and completely on the promise of salvation through what Christ did for you on the Cross. Then you yourself will have the Holy...

I don't buy it.

If they aren't going to engage in a sexual union, then why involve a ceremony? Just form and keep a solid friendship with that other person; even be roommates without involving sexual contact.

The only thing about this is, that the Bible teaches that Jesus died as a ransom for all. 1Ti 2:5, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1Ti 2:6, Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. So Limited Atonement really cannot be a...

I am a sinner, in that sin dwells in my mortal flesh...however the Bible teaches that as believers we do not have to sin... and therefore we can come to a place in our Christian walk where we Go and sin no more (John 8:11). 1Jo 3:5, And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and...

There are no scriptures that support homosexual practice among Christians...only alternate interpretations of the the verses that condemn these behaviours. In this God allows people to harden their hearts to the truth; and gives people over to shameful practices, just as it is written in His...

1Ti 2:5, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Therefore you are a 3-point Calvinist. So am I, but I agree with Calvinism on different points than you do. Total Depravity--check Unconditional Election--1/2 check (God predestinated us according to foreknowledge of whether we would receive Him or not. God has given us a free will). Limited...

Of course you must believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead at the time that you confess Him as Lord, or the confession isn't valid. However, we believe unto righteousness (not salvation); and confession is made unto salvation if righteousness is there. Afterwards the...

So, are you saying that the Lord will not honour such a repentance? Calvinism is supposed to be a source of assurance for its adherents; however, the way you preach it, you take away real, solid assurance from those who have done what it takes to receive salvation.

That would be the Lord on the day of judgment. In the meantime He has given us His Spirit, those of us who are born of Him. If you are not born again then you cannot discern it. But if you have His Spirit, then His Spirit in you can discern what His decision is concerning the question you...

We can only continue to grow in our understanding of God's word. If someone who is truly born again has a faulty pov, then you can be sure that the Lord will correct them on it in His timing (for His Spirit is the Spirit of truth). In the meantime, his or her faith in the gospel (1 Corinthians...
