Already did. Mjh27 is now responding. And I'll be back later. You are certainly free to join us. It has to do with Romans 4 and imputed righteousness, but please read my objection first.

No problem, I've developed a thick skin over the years from all the times Calvinists called me a heretic. LOL

Don't worry about it, we decided to start over from scratch.

Don't hurry, I was just taking a break from chores and checked the computer. So I may not respond immediately. This whole discussion may take a few days. Just check your alerts. Be back later.

Who are you talking to? When I responded, and am shown who you are responding to, I see you are responding to yourself. LOL Run! The men in white coats are coming!

My main issue is not about justification by faith in Jesus - He is the only road. My issue has to do with Scriptures I've seen other Calvinists take out of context in the middle of Paul's teaching, and in doing so have come up with a completely different conclusion than what Paul was making...

We started out great, then not so much. Would you like to start over?

As I recall you are the one I've made the most posts to, but you never referred to any of the verses I quoted. Why tell you them again just to get ignored?

Which theology of his didn't you agree with. I'll see if I can find a sermon on it in the book. So far I've picked the ones I wanted to read.

Thanks. Right now I've got two books: sermons by John Wesley, and his life story.

I admire the two that tried to "reform" the Reformation.

It would just be a repeat of everything I've already quoted scripture on, and now everyone has me on ignore. The truth hurts. Nobody wants to come into the light out of the darkness they love.

I have a lot to say, but usually I'm wasting my breath and am ignored?

Which reformers do you believe reflects the mission of Jesus coming to earth? John says Jesus was manifest to take away our sin and in Him there is no sin. Who of the following believes that and how does that manifest in us? Calvin Luther Arminius Wesley Other

Well, when I repented and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, it certainly was a sobering realization. One day I have no power over sin, truly repent for the first time in all my 30 years, am finally saved, and from then on willful sinning is abhorrent to me. It was like going from a lion...

Exactly. I was going to church for 30 years UNSAVED.

What are you saying? That you read about it, or experienced it?

Have you ever received the baptism of the Holy Spirit? If you have, you'll never forget the experience. It is life changing and you receive power over previous sinful desires. Has that ever happened to you? I was in church for 30 years BEFORE being baptized in the Holy Spirit. It is not by...

Okay, I can do that; no problem. 2 Peter 1:9 verifies we are only cleansed of our past sins. You have read scripture out of context of the next chapters in Romans to imply we can sin all we want and God will not impute sin to us. If we commit sin, oh yes He will. Read Romans 6. What you are...
