    They are chosen AFTER they answer His call. Many are called, but few chosen! Why then should God call out to the "many", if the "few" were saved already (as you believe) before the foundation of the world. The ONLY status that everyone has for anything "already", is condemnation. That is a...

    ^ Ooops! Sorry "just by faith". I thought I was replying to " jun2u".

    How does one deal with those who REFUSE to examine the many scriptures, that speak contrary to your fabricated doctrine, that you have taken from a few scriptures in isolation.

    God's Salvation program incorporates our human will of reasoning with Himself, whereby we can accept His offer of salvation through Jesus, or we can reject it. No one is on auto pilot for being saved or destroyed! . It most definitely is a matter of choice, and the ball is in our court! Heb...

    No one is "chosen" until they heed and act in faith on the "call". Many are "called", but do not address that "call", and therefore are not declared as "chosen".

    Pure blasphemous foolishness! You neglect to understand the longsuffering love of God! 2 Peter 3[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

    Read those verses again and understand that the work for our redemption was orchestrated FOR US before the foundation of the world. That is what was predestined, and it is for whosoever will. It's all a matter of perspective. If you see yourself as being born as "having an eternal soul", then...

    We all are pro-created through the seed of Adam, being equal of mortal life as an animal, of which has no eternal life.

    Was Jesus predestined to be "the Lamb of God" before the foundation of the world? Yes! . Were you and I predestined before the foundation of the world? No!

    The conclusion is, as I previously said: Ever since Pentecost, there are many who profess to be Christian, but have neglected to receive the Holy Spirit of God. . According to Rom. 8:9, what is the requirement, for our assurance of salvation, that we will not end up as being "none of His"? . Do...

    Yes "metaneo" is repentance towards God, through his Son. It is the ONLY form of repentance that is acceptable to God! Repentance from sin only is "metanoia", and that form of repentance alone, is not acceptable to God.

    God's grace is measured by His Love. He "gave" to the undeserving, the sacrifice of His Son, so that we may inherit HIS eternal life. There is no such thing as a "good" sinner or a "bad" sinner. You either have the Free Gift of His Righteousness (the Holy Spirit of God), or you don't. Therefore...

    Which sin is the worst? Betrayal, denial or neglect? 1. Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus to death. Mat. 27:1-5 2. Peter denied knowing of Jesus three times. Mat. 26:69-75 3. Many today neglect to receive the Holy Spirit of God. Luke 11:13; Rom. 8:9 . Judas Iscariot repented, but took his own life...

    No. Through Jesus, all are predestined to be called to salvation! Only the sacrificial death of God the Son was predestined! Therefore, in God's foreknowledge, He knows who is saved. However, the foreknowledge of God is not predestination. Eph. 1[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord...

    Repentance saves no one. Many turn towards God, but never enter into HIS covenant through His Son Rom. 8:9. All of such who neglect to do so, remain to be "condemned already"

    . That "election" takes place ONLY when we enter into HIS Covenant. Prior to that, all are called. Evidently you do not agree that the Grace of God's calling, for us to receive His free Gift of Eternal life, is to everyone (whosoever), and that WE ALL are invited, and that all can and should...

    First and foremost, the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is a parable. A fictitious story told to deliver a single truth. I assume you are forming your doctrine of an eternal soul from the following, of which hints at nothing of the sort: Rev. 14[10] The same shall drink of the wine of the...

    Unfortunately, all who believe that way, also believe that every person has an eternal soul. Man didn't get a living soul, he BECAME a living soul, of which is equal to "animal life" . See Genesis.

    A person who is in a coma (unconscious) cannot enter into a covenant relationship with God. Therefore, should such a person die in the state of a coma, they will have died without God, remaining to be "condemned already". John 3:18
