    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    I know some here do not believe in eternal salvation and their salvation fully depends on their continued obedience. But the scripture says differently.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    We are born by the Spirit of God of incorruptible seed, meaning once born of God we are saved forever incorruptible, and that new spirit God creates inside us cannot sin. 1 John 3:9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been...

    The truth of resurrection as Jesus Christ taught two resurrections.

    Yes there are 2 groups, the righteous are not resurrected with the unrighteous, they are separated left and right. The passage here shows the judgement is contemporaneous and everyone is a witness to it. This is like a formal court proceeding. The decision of who is left or right hand already...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    An example of us bearing GOOD FRUIT to GOD is written here and is contrasted to the works of the flesh. Bearing good fruit to God shows the work of the Spirit in the lives of saved people. NO good fruit to God? Works of the flesh? The scripture here is not about good works. Contentions...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Actually your idea is wrong there. The only saved person was the one who bore fruit to God, none of the others did. Calvin called it the perseverance of the saints.
