The transaction is in the heart not the brain. A person can confess to be anything he wants....but it is very Greek to think...I think therefore I am. That is why the bible is so clear about the miraculous faculty which is grace. If we have never walked in complete perfection in holiness...then...

A truly born again person actually HAS free will. The bible exhorts us to walk in the Spirit now that we have been quickened in the spirit. We can very easily stray through a false understanding of grace. This is what I try to point out to so many here. Either they have never been given a new...

The argument against showing the fruit of a new heart through obedience to the laws of God reveals the self-justification of an old nature seeking to cover it's tracks. I am not espousing a physical and mental assent to the law...but rather an obedience from a new heart that is inscribed with...

The RC "animal" certainly makes great claims. :)

You reveal your own heart by the way you let your mouth speak...and in this case ....the fingers type! God weighs the heart. Men try finding a formula that excludes the heart. My gospel is one of actual power unto holiness. The New Covenant is the law inscribed on the tablets of our hearts. It...

We also must choose. While God is certainly sovereign He doesn't force anyone to obey Him. The very problem we have in the church today is not that God is failing to live up to His promises...but rather that people are choosing to follow their own ways. If there were no free will for the...

No Catholic should grandstand on the practice of the RC denomination. How do you get torturing people for confessions before burning them???

Actually more of an exhortationist. ;)

Very true!!! It is interesting to note that while we are indeed saved by faith...the Greek word Pistis also incorporates a continuing faithfulness. So do we abide in Christ through a one time act of faith or an ongoing faithfulness...or both!!! :) G4102 πίστις pistis pis'-tis From G3982...

Exactly! We are guaranteed an entrance into eternal life and salvation here and now through a receiving of the gift of God....but the everlasting nature of these is contingent upon our CONTINUING faithfulness to God and the ongoing training of God to bring about HIS will in us.

We are the tithe of the people. As such we are preserving the world. :)

Give the people what they want I guess! Isa_51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

Statements like this make one fall off the other side of the horse and back into a man made religion. Removing exhortation from the faith means that every man can do as he pleases thus creating lawlessness and unreality. Religion is something the old nature likes to hide behind...putting up a...

What about IN His power???

Was Agabus not a prophet? Wasn't the church in Antioch founded by prophets and teachers? Are we not to have prophets speak in the gatherings? 1Co_14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. Act_15:32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the...

I have no prejudices about who wins and loses. The wisest way to read the bible is to assume that you are as capable as anyone else of winning or losing. The disciples response to Christ....Lord, is it I? about sums up what I think.

Both...but many believers will be cast out into outer darkness. There they will wander in the wilderness forever.

Rom_6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

Do you have a scripture for that? ;)

I can't begin to explain just how wrong that is. They said something akin to this about the Titanic. Mere coicidence?
