For some, the doctrines of Grace, including the work of God Holy Spirit in drawing the sinner to Jesus, convicting of sin and the truth of the gospel, imparting faith as a gift of God… … is no different than Muslims using whips to force people out of the homes and into mosques. To force...

Once a people group learns the gospel, they can proclaim it in their own language. Is that your point? They will cease when the gospel is proclaimed to all nations, even to the ends of the earth and Jesus returns Peace to you

The need is to fulfill the prophecy the gospel would be preached to all nations, even to the ends of the earth, as God sees fit. The gift of tongues, in scripture, were languages unknown to the speaker, which were spoken nevertheless to proclaim the gospel in that language. I have heard...

Only you could find a way to smear “Calvinism” in a thread about Muslims in England. Good grief Peace to you

Well, if 4 million citizens are controlling the country, then the other 62 million citizens are to blame. Peace to you

No. Baptized yes. By sprinkling, yes. Infants of believers are baptized and adults who convert are baptized. Peace to you

Wow!! I guess that makes DT the most influential person on the planet. :) Peace to you

I understand you believe that and the RCC claims all church history despite all the evidence to the contrary. Ill let you debate it with someone else. I was simply giving my understanding of what RCC believes. Peace to you

Opportunity does not equate to ability. God gave the Law. God said keep the law and you will live. The opportunity has been there. The ability has not. Salvation has always been by God’s grace according to the kind intention of His will. Peace to you

Speaking in tongues meant languages unknown to the speaker but known to the hearers, always in reference to the gospel. I’ve heard missionaries testify they have seen it happen, so yes, based on that testimony. As far as other sign gifts (healing for instance), I don’t discount God’s ability...

In RCC theology, all sacraments distribute God’s grace to the participant when delivered by a priest. Baptism removes sin. Communion applies the blessing of Christ blood and flesh to the participant. If I remember correctly. If I remember correctly, Lutheran theology is similar though they...

Thanks for clarifying. I apologize. I misunderstood the point you were making. Peace to you

Matthew 19:17…. “If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments”… which supports what I stated earlier that if you could keep the law, you would be saved. When the RYR claimed to have kept all the commandments, Jesus told him he lacked ONE thing… which answers your question about Jesus...

Thanks for agreeing with me. The law never saved anyone because it only revealed our sin and need for a savior. That doesn’t change the fact that, according to scripture, and even the words of our Lord Jesus, IF you could keep it, you would be saved. We can’t get passed love the Lord your God...

Absolutely. All you have to do is keep it perfectly. Of course, no one but Jesus has ever done that. When the rich young ruler came to Jesus and asked what he must do to enter heaven, Jesus told him to keep the commandments. Jesus didn’t lie, but he was trying to get the man to see his need...
