    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED.... Do you believe that God created everything IN THE BEGINNING? FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD Do you believe that God loved ALL HIS CREATION, IOW, the world, or only some portions of it. If you believe God loved only small portions of HIS WORLD.... then you do not...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    In reformed theology, it becomes absolutely necessary to change the meaning of words. Practically none of the NT can be taken literally or reformed theology would make no sense.

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    Where does Matthew 7:23 state that they were never saved? Where does Jesus ever speak about being saved? He always speaks about doing good works. You ADD to scripture to make it say what you want it to. Matthew 7:23 ’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU...

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    Colossians 1:23 are not my words .... Paul wrote those words. They're in plain English and need no interpretation. Some just can't accept the simple truth found in the NT. Of course it states that we must CONTINUE to believe. Sanctification is on-going. I've given you enough verses in my...

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    If Paul is warning, it must be important. I agree that Hebrews 6 is for the Jews going back to Judaism; however, we can also go back to our previous unsaved life. There are some that do this. So what do you think persons are MOVING AWAY from? Obviously it's their faith. People change their...

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    Of course we can reap salvation: Sanctification is on-going and so Salvation is on-going..... We WERE saved: Ephesians 2:8 8For by grace you have been saved through faith; ... We ARE BEING saved: 1 Corinthians 1:18 ...but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. We WILL BE saved...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Please post some scripture that states that God chooses who will be saved and who will be lost. Your entire post is referring to TOTAL DEPRAVITY UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION IRRISISTIBLE GRACE Which is why it's difficult to even discuss the incorrect doctrines of Calvinism because one runs into...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    BTW It's not the Church It's the church. Learn the difference.

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Do you really think I care what you think?

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Once again, in my post just above this one, I've shown you how incorrect you are in your belief system. The best you can do is rant insead of givingt scripture that supports your POV. This might just mean that there isn't any.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Us and We is the royal use of those two words. Sorry if you don't like it, but that's how I speak. As to the 3 pages, are you going to reply to THREE PAGES of verses that state that God DEMANDS that we seek Him....something YOU state is impossible to do. Either you are wrong,,,,or God is...

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    We were discussing Galatians 6:9 and how it relates to the possibility of the forfeiture of our salvation. 6:9 9Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. I can agree with your agricultural example. IF the farmer puts in the work....he will...

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    Hi Ronald, Scripture never conflicts. John 10:28 To whom does God give eternal life? It's answered in John 10:27 TO MY SHEEP. And who are God's sheep? John 3:16 WHOESOEVER believes in the Son will be saved. Whosoever believes belongs to the flock of Jesus and will hear His voice. And yes, no...

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    As must be obvious by now.... I don't agree with the T in TULIP. The NT states that one could forfeit their salvation. Nor do I agree with any part of TULIP.

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    God did His part. Are we not to do ours? Hebrews 13:16 16Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. Matthew 7:21 21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is...

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    EG Don't get the two conversations mixed up. I don't know that I HATE anything. OSAS does not exist in the NT teachings. I've given you a few verses but you don't reply to them. You send me back verses instead. How about explaining (exegeting) the verses I give you like I do to yours? I posted...

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    Yes. Exactly. Instead of taking away from scripture....they bring their own ideas to it. This is eisegesis and is not the correct way to interpret scripture. What I find very interesting is that any verse that is posted by a Calvinist could easily be debunked because it is NOT scriptural...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    @Christian Soldier part 2 of 2 2. Your verse: Let's check it out. Romans 3:10-18 10as it is written, “THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; 11THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; 12ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Thanks for replying with scripture. I'd like to make 2 points - maybe 3: 1. You said that to state that man is able to seek God is a lie from hell. It's not ME stating this CS....it's the bible stating this -- in both the OT and the NT. I provided you with 3 pages of verses that exhort us to...

    So what are the likes to reformed members EG? You're a calvinist now?
