    Is the Holy Spirit needed to believe initially?

    We have gifts attributed to be from the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12 for the profit of all; gifts or offices attributed to be from Jesus, the Son, in Ephesians 4 for the Church; but I see that the Father gives gifts to all men in Romans 12, not just to Christians. And one of these gifts God the...

    Is the Holy Spirit needed to believe initially?

    Yes, he is stuck in a rut believing that one of the fruit of the Spirit called faithfulness, or the ability to endure to the end, to persevere, is saving faith because some translations call it faith. He's made a whole other doctrine based on this error. So, is seems, did John Calvin.

    Is the Holy Spirit needed to believe initially?

    Here are two verses in the gospel of John that seem to contradict one another. The first is one Calvinists use to advocate only their elect are chosen irresistibly, and the other shows all men being drawn. John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I...

    I am done

    I've actually enjoyed your posts, but I never receive a response. We have some things in common, especially when it comes to Jesus putting an end to sin by empowering us with His Spirit. 1 John 3:9 As far as you cursing us - Proverbs 26:2 Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, So a...

    Some good information for Dave

    The point is these beliefs were preached by Brigham Young, and though now outlawed as is also polygamy, there are still some who want to practice them. I looked up sermons on this subject in the Journal of Discourses. But the church still believes that the blood of Jesus can't cover some sins...

    Some good information for Dave

    Just curious, have you never heard of the Mormon belief in blood atonement, where they actually murder someone by shedding their blood who they believe has committed a vile sin in order to save them?

    The Five Points of Calvinism

    I am not Calvinist, but before I can declare them a false doctrine, I need this question answered by someone.

    The Five Points of Calvinism

    So there is no change in a person after "regeneration"? They just go on living their totally depraved life, but with the assurance of salvation?

    @farouk and @Jane_Doe22 Could one of you answer my question in post #10 above?

    The Five Points of Calvinism

    After regeneration and being born again, do Calvinists believe we are still totally depraved until Jesus comes, or are we dead to sin and actually righteous? And I don't mean just imputed righteousness, but act righteous in our outward lives and inward thoughts? Or are we still totally depraved...

    Poll - Tattooing: from male military and biker ethos...to viable witness means for both genders?

    If I had gotten that tat, I would have made the 3 bows into 3 ichthuses (fish symbols) It could represent the Trinity.
