Featured Does "enlightened" mean saved?

You indicate to me that you have been with Jesus.

I love what you have written.

I rejoice in God and drank it down like a thirsty soul.

Superb.

Wonderful Bible insight.

Carry on. Godspeed.

 

The Eternally Effective 'drawing' is Irresistible.

I haven't read Calvin, except a couple of sentences posted here on the Board.

We are His workmanship, Created in Christ Jesus.

His sheep hear His Voice.

No man can come, Spiritually, because they have none, until God Spiritually Imputes their soul with The New Birth.

Jesus is The Savior.

Those who say 'they chose by their power to have faith and belief, etc.' ; did they resist God's Drawing them?

No, they were enlightened to some things they saw and experienced and 'desided' to become a Christian, and to then, 'fill God in on it, to write them down or something'.

Many of those that are religiously lost come and go and then fall away.

Nothing resists The Saving Power of God.

Those God Saves Can Spiritually be Taught Who He is and Who Saved them and why.

They would never care to 'resist' that Saving Drawing, if they could.

 

ABSOLUTELY.

THERE IS A GOD WE CAN WORSHIP.

 

There are Systematic Doctrines written out by many authors, with PLENTY of Scriptures.

That just means there are PLENTY of Scriptures.

Worth seeing.
