Featured The genuine gospel is neither Arminian nor Calvinist

The Bible, especially Paul, doesn't state that Christ's death, which was your death, and Christ's resurrection, which was your resurrection, was provisional.

Let's go to Hebrews 9:25 "Nor did He (Christ) enter to offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 26 For then He would have had to suffer repeatedly since the world was created, but now He has appeared once at the end of the ages to put away sin by sacrificing Himself."

If you were saved when you believed then Christ "would have to suffer repeatedly", i.e., He would have to die again and again for everyone who believes.

Faith is a response to what Christ has already accomplished. Christ death, which was your death to the law, happened once for all men.

Clearly Calvin was in error.....

 

Please go back and read my response to "the many". "The many" clearly means "all".

 

No, it did save all sinners, but God will not force this finished work upon the unbeliever. He must chose to accept this historical account. For those who refuse the gospel the law will be their judge.

 

You completely missed my point. My point was Christ's death, and hence your death to the law, was done about 2000 years ago. Hence before you came from your mother you were already "justified unto life" (Rom 5:18) "in Christ Jesus". If not, then Christ must die again and again every time a sinner believes.

 

No, no, no...all backwards.

When you get to heaven will you say "I was saved because I did something - that is, my faith saved me?"

I hope not because your "faith" is not your Savior. Christ saved you 2000 years ago, you received it through faith. Faith is the channel by which you received what had already been accomplished in the birth, life, death and resurrection of Christ.

It is the goodness of God that leads one to faith and repentance (Romans 2:4). Hence, faith is not allowing God or giving Him permission to put us into Christ but accepting with grateful hearts what God has already accomplished for mankind in Christ (1 Corinthians 1:30-31; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20; Ephesians 1:3-4).

 

Let's see when God saved you:

Rom 5:8 "God proves his love (agape) for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us....10 ...while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son"

Eph 2:5 " ...even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved. "

God saved you "in Christ" when you were an enemy of God - while you were fully living for your fallen nature (the flesh).

 

Wrong!.....

 

Correction....It is what saved you "in Christ". Yes, when you hear the good news you need to accept it. If not, you can harden your heart and reject the gospel. That brings "the cruse of the law"....

 

"You died to the law in the body of Christ" Rom 7:4 Hence "our old self was crucified with Christ" See Roman 6:6. When Christ died, all men died in Him. See 2 Cor 5:14

The gospel that you present, Yeshua, is what Paul called "another gospel", which is really no gospel at all.
