Paul uses exampes of lust, fornication, idolatry, tempting Christ and murmurings. And if eternal security were true then Paul lied to them telling them they could fall.

Again, before the NT fleshly Israel was God's elect yet God cut fleshly Israel off and made Christian His elect. Rom 9:8 children of the flesh (fleshly Jews) are NOT the children of God. So those fleshly Jews that were cutoff, in order to be part of the elect, had to believe and obey Christ...

If a Christian stole a horse, did he steal of of his own free will or did God make him/force him steal it? If man has no free will then God force him to steal it, making God a thief yet man has to repent of a sin God committed?????

Sin is sin and they were told to "take heed lest ye fall."

The thief is not an example of NT salvation.

But none of TULIP is found in the bible.

All fleshy Jews were cut off by God, Rom 9:8 and were no longer the children of God, Christians, not fleshly Jews, are God's chosen/elect now. So only those Jews (remnant Paul speaks of in Rom 11:5) that obeyed Christ's gospel in Acts 2 are part of the elect, the spiritual Jew and those...

David has nothing to do with NT worship. I agree with what you posted...the purpose of water baptism is to be saved.

Jn 3:5 speaks of the new birth, and this new birth consists of two elements 1) water 2) spirit The role of water of this new birth is of course water baptism The role of the Holy Spirit of this new birth is the Holy Spirit authored the word and the HS begets those that believe and obey the...

All of fleshly Israel was cast aside and no fleshly Jew was of the elect, Rom 9:8...."They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God" Since fleshly Israel was replaced by Christians as God's elect, those Jews that obeyed the gospel and became Christians became part...

Why then in 1 Cor 10:1-12 does Paul warn them about falling?

Hi, Water baptism is the one baptism of Eph 4:5 but the Holy Spirit does not do the baptizing. Mt 28:18,19 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of...

Rom 6:4,5 water baptism is symbolic of Christ's death, burial and resurrection. If one is not water baptized then his old man is never crucified with Christ and one never is raised to walk in newness of life. So water baptism is not just symbolic but a necessary part of salvation, Mk 16:16...

I do not get where you get the idea that water baptism is just symbolic and nothing more. When Mk 16:16, Acts 2:38, and many other verses speak of baptism as the means by which God saves....."baptism doth also now save us" In all the conversion in Acts from Acts 2 onward water baptism was the...

The context says such WERE some of you. Paul warns the Corinthians that they could not return to live in those sins Paul mentioned and remain saved saved. Paul reminds them how they WERE then to now being washed, jsutified, sanctified. Later Paul warns these Coritnhians "Wherefore let him...

1)The thief was not an example of NT salvation. 2)The apostles lived partly under the OT and NT law. In Luke's account of the great commission, Lk 24:47, Luke recorded Christ saying "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at...

Fleshly Israel was cast away, Rom 11:15, broken off, Rom 11:20 and was replaced by Christians as God's chosen, elect people. Even though God did cast fleshly Israel off as His chosen people, God did not cast them so far off that fleshly israel could not be saved. Fleshly Israel could obey...

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom...

Repentance is a change of mind that can require a change in one's actions. My point is that when the Christian does sin, he cannot remain impenitent of his sins and still be saved. One does repent from sin. Sin is the reason one is lost, so when the bible says "not willing that any should...

The Jews were God's elect under the OT, yet this elect of God was cut off. The Gentiles were not of God's elect yet were grafted in under the NT. Calvinism says before the world bean God choose certain individuals to be saved (elect) leaving the rest to be lost (non-elect) and nothing can...
