I am sorry, you seem to have misunderstood my post. You had quoted 1 Thessalonians 4:16, which in the KJV includes the phrase "trump of God." You seemed to be applying it to Donald Trump. The word used is just an old word for "trumpet". It translates the Greek word salpigx, which means the...

A quick Google search brought up: United Baptists There was no section on that site about what they believe, though.

Only by looking up in a concordance the meaning of the Hebrew word used. Before that, I imagined it meant to stop something happening. I looked it up because I couldn't get our usual meaning of "prevent" to make sense in the verses where it occurs in the KJV. Incidentally, another example of...

Yes, calling out to God is prayer. However, was the Ethiopian calling out to God when he said to Philip: “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”” (Ac 8:37 NKJV) No, he was replying to Philip. Was he confessing the Lord Jesus Christ? Certainly.

Well, it wouldn't be right for me, as a Brit, to comment. :)

But those words are not a prayer. None of the verses you quote even mention prayer.

Thanks - that makes it clearer. I apologise again for not understanding you first time.

Not sure what you are saying. Do you mean that you agree with easy believism? And what do you mean by "my Calvinist company"? Sorry not to be able to grasp what you mean.

I hope that is tongue in cheek, and that you are not seriously suggesting that 1 Thessalonians 4:16 refers to the current American president. :)

I'm glad you say "might have been." I can't think of any bible reference to John Mark's finances, or anything to suggest that he was the rich young ruler.

You say that some Jewish customs are harder to grasp than some archaic words. I disagree, particularly in regard to words which still exist today, but with a totally different meaning to the way they are used in the KJV. Just two examples. "Carriages" today are wheeled vehicles. Not in the...

I have never read or heard of a person who believes Calvinistic doctrine talk about "praying the sinner's prayer." The idea of "praying the sinner's prayer" seems to have originated with Charles Finney, who wasn't a Calvinist be any stretch of the imagination.

I don't know much about the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong, but I certainly agree that there is no bible verse which mentions either the United States or Great Britain.

It would be logical, if God's word didn't tell us different. Ephesians 2, for example, which tells us that we were dead in trespasses and sins, but God made us alive. And Romans says something similar: “7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would...

I cannot remember how many times I and others have said that you are wrong when you say that those with Calvinistic beliefs imagine that they were so special that God picked them out before creation. I have never heard of anybody who believes that. The bible does talk about those who are saved...

Of course it can be true that: 1) sinners must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in order to be saved, whilst at the same time, 2) God's enabling is required for a sinner to believe on the Saviour. Your last sentence, "But your religion says salvation is unconditional which is clearly an...

But those of us who believe Calvinist doctrines certainly believe Acts 16:31, so there is no need to "get past our errant (according to you) C?R view."

That seems very logical at first, but where did the person who shared the gospel with Bob get it from? Surely the bible. If what the person shares with Bob is not firmly based on the bible, then whatever it is, it is not the gospel. Whether the person reads the words of an actual bible to...

To avoid confusion, could you just confirm that you meant, "Typically KJVO blatther,"not "Typically NKJVO blatther?" I have never come across anybody who is New King James Version Only.

Agreed. Then there are the British English words like corn: At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. (Matthew 12:1) Americans' minds might immediately go to the corn that in the song was...
