    And this thread is especially relevant to Robert Snow on the matter.

    The Southern Baptist was James P. Boyce, not Boice. He, along with Manly and Broadus, were founders of the Southern Seminary, initially at Greenville, SC and then at Louisville, Ky.

    And because they choose to believe the Gospel of Grace offered by Jesus Christ.

    No one can believe on their own, no one ever will on their own.

    You are wrong, no matter how many times you say it!

    BTW, I did not notice the year this thread was started, being 2006. But, looking at some of the postings, it seem like many of the non-calvinists are the ones who have been banned. Is this board only for the holders of the doctrine of Calvinism?

    This is a Christian board, thought you know that. Only God calls people to salvation, no one decides to get saved

    What is the purpose of gospel? Tell me, what does 'believe' means? Are we, the robots?

    Bible teaches us very clear, Christ says, many are called, but few are chosen. What happen to many? Why Christ says, few are chosen?

    In Christ
    Rev. 22:20 -Amen!

    I've wondered the same thing at times, especially when some posters break the rules again and again.

    I'll agree with historyb on this one. On our own, no man would seek after God...but God never leaves us to ourselves, and has empowered man the ability to believe or not.

    GOD gives HIS elect the faith to believe, the rest he leaves in their fallen state.

    You are denying Scripture such as John 6:37, John 6:44. Read them you might learn something.

    Garbage...and pure man-made theology as evidence by many Scripture and parables. The seed that fell on the rocky ground was snatched up by satan to prevent them from believing...which would make no sense if the ability to believe was never there to begin.

    Correct, no one on their own believes. They can only believe if God choses them

    I may not have been clear, but I agree with what you are saying.

    That is so silly.Do you think God has "empowered" people with total depravity too? Has the Lord "empowered" the reprobate to be unwilling? You're really quite unbiblical in your reasoning.

    You said the above to a statement by OldRegular :"God gives His elect the faith to believe, the rest He leaves in their fallen state."

    It's sad how many times you have thought smeared perfectly biblical positions with your wretched responses.I wish you would tell your Calvinistic pastor some of the things you have tarred believers with. You wouldn't have the nerve. Instead you say the most horrendous things on a forum which folks from around the world view. Any Calvinist would agree with what OldRegular wrote. It's as biblical as can be. I'm sure your pastor has said similar things. Did you rebuke him on those occasions? If you think OldRegular's belief, (which is shared by all Calvinists) is garbage -- why do you willingly sit under a ministry which believes such?

    Quite the drama queen...er...king, eh Rippon? God doesn't give some nebulous gift of faith for a nebulous group to use.

    BTW, where I attend church is really none of your business, nor the reasons why. The church consists of much more than preaching if you don't know.

    Why do you continue to argue against things that are not said? Too much time on your hands?

    Your words/conclusions -- not mine. Who has ever said that God gives a "nebulous gift of faith for a nebulous group"?! That would only be you.

    I just find it fascinating that you openly declared that your pastor is Calvinistic. You willingly sit under his ministry. Yet you denounce (in most unbecoming language) the very doctrines your pastor would espouse.

    Certainly. a gathering of believers involves more than preaching alone. But you'd have to admit that preaching the Word of God is a rather central component of the assembly.
