    2 thes And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

    Previenient Grace as taught is in agreement with the T in Tulip as a ' partial regeneration ' or a ' quickening ' . A means of bringing a person out of ' deadness ' so that they may be ' able ' to respond or refuse the grace . This is not biblical.

    Again... these two statements are at odds. The second statement seems to say that in order to believe the Holy Spirit must be given. But, the first statement says that in order to receive the Holy Spirit, one must believe. Again, these two statements cannot be correct; one must be false.

    I'm talking about God giving all that leaves people without excuse to believe. There is no need for extra pre grace . My example from acts 2 is simply to say after the Day of pentacost the Holy Spirit is Given . The Holy Spirit convicts the World of Sin ect . My point is that previenient and irresistible Grace as explained by the systems are unbiblical .

    This is Pelagianism, not Christianity.

    Ahh the boogeyman Pelagianism which started this whole mess of Augustines philosophy aka calvernism in the first place . Every Calvernists go to scare tactic ,followed closely by ' your a universalist ' . Calvernists are so paralysed of theses dangers they forget to check there own system for errors . No I do not believe we have in ourselves in any sense to make it to heaven .Nor do I believe that God does a percentage and we do our percentage for salvation . God has done all for us to be saved and does all to save . Including the offer of salvation where God is pleased to save all those who believe.

    It's true. You are teaching heresy according to the Council of Ephesus of 431....and Luther, Calvin, and the host of reformers.

    lol could you explain why I'm teaching heresy from what I've said . And I'm not concerned about Luther who never really let go of Catholicism and like Calvin followed the heretical Augustine.

    Pelagius taught this. That salvation happens apart from God's supernatural involvement. That sin does not incapacitate the will and people are not inherently sinful. That anyone can will their own salvation apart from God.

    They condemned this as heresy in 431 and agreed with Augustine that salvation is a supernatural occurrence wholly dependent on God's mercy and grace.

    You say it's for the self-righteous.

    The one that holds that they need no additional Gracing from God at all is the heretic!

    Pre mill is a pharisee belief. Jesus corrected this teaching Amillennialism.

    Although I am very familiar with Both heresies that Plage and Augus taught I however believe the bible that says that we are sinful , we cannot birth ourselves , we cannot do good to gain eternal life ( there's none that does good in this sense , no not one ) we are lost , separated due to the fall . I don't believe in the gnostic / stoic view on total inability. We did not lose the ability to positively respond to God . We can believe the Gospel . Otherwise its pretty foolish that God would say over and over to believe and obey the Gospel if we cannot .

    This means you are an enemy of the Church. The Ecumenical Creeds unify Christendom. And you proclaim you are not with us.
