Here's another clue. It's a person. ^_^

That's kinda catch 22 situation...are you saying that those who are in Christ were those that were chosen already like myself who is in Christ? Rather then those who are pre-chosen yet have not yet received Christ? :huh: Isn't that the same position we were in before being in Christ???

That may be so but it still answered alot for me :). I think I may have answered that already...

This may be the point of contention. A person being in Christ, must first confess Christ. However, I believe that the predestined ones are those whom God chose beforehand for the fulfillment of his purpose. ie: his Apostles. Paul says ~ 11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined...

This is a very interesting topic. I can recall asking one of our leaders and someone whom I would consider a spiritual father about this issue. I asked whether we can choose to accept Jesus as our Lord and savior or whether we are predestined to do so. He said that he did not know however, "One...

Well done! Here's another one. It should be easier! ;) In the middle, I am "Day", I am first to make the way, I sit amongst my brothers, to hear the cause of others. Though now I cease to be employed and honored, my "Freedom" will be enjoyed. Who am I? PS you're not going to find these...

"Rainbow Warrior" ^_^ :D :)

Well it kinda reminds me of which came first, the chicken or the egg. :) ~ The bible says that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". Romans 3: 22, 23, 24. ~ So we have all began in the same position, as sinners. We know that the gospel will be preached to all nations. Matthew...

It looks nice but are you talking Buffalo that use to live wild out on the range in the US??? :huh:

I enjoyed that...thanks :)

Buffalo? what buffalo? Like the cowboy & Indian buffalo?? :huh:

Yummy. Looks delish!

Hey Stan, No this is def not all the Holy Spirit does however, I thought we were discussing your comments from post #5 and you have included the Holy Spirit in post #25. Christ has saved us through his redeeming work on the cross and paid the penalty for our sins. One day we will be fully...

The Holy Spirit is given to those who believe in Jesus by faith as a seal of their redemption, Ephesians 4:30, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, Ephesians 1:13 ~ A guarantee of our inheritance. 2 Corinthians 1: 22, 2 Corinthians 5:5, Ephesians 1:14

Brother, If you have asked God to forgive you, you are forgiven. Praying for you to be strengthened against temptation, praying for your family... Bless you!

I think it goes with the territory. We can never can guarantee that we're going to get well behaved people in this world who are going to be sensitive to your beliefs. ;)

The terror came at night, I lost a precious life. No pot of gold in sight, a hero, continue the fight. :) (clue NZ)

Hi Ozspen, Not sure if we are on the same page but just saying to Stan that my reference to point 6 about salvation and eternal life is only applicable to those who have been forgiven of their sin and washed with the blood of Jesus [believers] although all men have the opportunity be saved...

Not so much blown away since I am not a Calvinist advocate... :huh: If I am going to be placed in some sort of category I guess I lean more towards Aminianism.... Oz, I don't know what you mean? :huh:

Wow, I'm just reading a little bit about Anabaptists and frankly, I'm totally blown away by it's history and I agree adults should be baptized through their own free will rather than child baptism... :huh: Bless ya!
