Not according to the calvinist view. See there you go boasting again and you do not even realize it. You think you are one of those pre chosen elect. You boast that you were picked B4 creation so you must think you are in some way special or why else would He pick you and not some other person...

What do I not understand about the Rom 5 passage? You make the claim but you have not provided any counter view.

@Layman BF knows the bible needed to defend his calvinist position but I do question whether he knows his bible. It has been shown many times that what he things is biblical is clearly not and yet he will not even consider that he could be wrong. That is just blind allegiance to a position.

Have you looked at what the calvinists post on here. You all say you were chosen B4 the foundation of the world. That my friend is boasting in that you think you were so special that God had to pick you out way back then. By your own words you point to just how special you must have been since...

@Zaatar71 you have to understand that BF has a different view on any number of things.

Faith is not a work BF. You should know this but it is obvious that there are a number of things you should know but which you do not.

The Jews were not in a right relationship with God if they were they would not need to be told that they need to be. These words apply just as well to all mankind as they did to the Jews. Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; Pro 3:6 In all...

Foreknowledge [to have knowledge before hand] God being omniscient foreknows all those that will freely trust in His son and He predestined them to be conformed to the image of His son. How is that reading a bias into the text? Do you think God is surprised when someone choose to trust in His...

Well it looks like you will have to do some rethinking on what you hold BF. When God desires "ALL MEN TO BE SAVED" it does not mean that all will be saved but rather that all can be saved. This is a distinction that is missed or ignored by many. Charles Spurgeon on 1 Timothy 2:3-4 Salvation By...

didn't God also say this: * For whom He foreknew, He also predestined [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. * Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; * whom He called, these He also justified; * and whom He justified...

You mean free will like this Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. Pro 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. Pro 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil. It is...

So you are disagreeing with scripture again, not a surprise.

But that is the error we see coming from calvinism, they confuse one being humble and by faith accepting the gift of salvation with some form of work. But I can see where they do have a problem as they think they are saved B4 they believe in Jesus then God gives them faith. Irresistible Grace...

That is being humble and realizing that you cannot save yourself @Layman. As we see here Luk 18:13 "But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!' The only ones that...

Sorry BF but you are wrong. To be accepted in Christ means they are saved and no one is in Christ until they place their faith in Him. Eph 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy...
