Some people use the phrase "saving faith" and seem to think a particular content and/or a particular zealousness of that belief requires God to accept the person's faith. What scripture says is if God credits the person's faith as righteousness, that faith is saving faith. Some might object...

As I stated, Romans 1:17 says a righteousness that is out of or arises from or is based upon faith. I did not see anythings else that addressed my post.

I suppose your are familiar with the "TULIP" which outlines the Calvinism doctrines. The "T" stands for "Total Spiritual Inability" and says the lost, unless enabled by Irresistible Grace, are unable to seek God or trust in Christ. The "U" stands for "Unconditional Election" and says God choose...

Hi Regulus, All of us, people who actually believe we are saved, fail at times to walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. But, I believe if we feel remorse, and strive to correct our behavior, that suggests we actually are indwelt, and our Helper is convicting us and leading us back to...

I believe there is only one correct view or most correct view, the others are incorrect views. I do not believe to insist upon one translation choice over another is not as sound as trying to determine what might be taught by the correct understanding of scripture. Yes, I believe the correct...

Once again we have a thread discussion PSA with absolutely nobody changing their view one iota. Was Jesus made to be sin, or was Jesus treated as sin? Treated as sin. Thus His sacrificial death, the just (sinless) for the unjust (sinful) is validated. The rub, of course is the PSA claim...

So what action by God arises from or is based upon God crediting our faith as righteousness. He transfers the individual whose faith as been credited as righteousness into Christ. See 2 Thessalonians 2:13 and James 2:5. Thus the distinctive between the human action to believe in something...

More false doctrine regurgitated from the bogus doctrines of the dark ages. 1) Yes, we only come into a right relationship with God by the will of God and not our will. 2) Yes, we must be born anew by the will and causative action of God. 3) Yes, no one puts their faith in Christ unless...

On and on folks, now this poster claims that faith IS righteousness, rather than we obtain our righteousness through our credited faith. And also note the repetitive posting of non-germane scripture as if it supported his fiction. Saying faith is important does not support the bogus claim...

Hi Cjab, I hold a very different view. The merit or lack their of "faith" is not found in Greek word form, but in whether or not God credited that "faith" as righteousness. We see in the account of Abraham, that he trusted in God's promise, and would follow God's instructions, even when they...

Pretty simple doctrine, if we choose not to put our faith and commitment in Christ, then God will not credit our unbelief as righteousness, as He as already condemned it. But if we choose to put our faith and commitment in Christ, that will not save us, but only if God chooses to credit our...

Unless the righteousness of a lost person surpasses the righteousness of scribes and Pharisees, such that you have never broken even one point of the Law, the person will not enter the kingdom of heaven. A person must be made perfect to enter the abode of God. All our works of righteousness...

Note the clear sequence of actions, first a person receives Him, refers to those who believe in His name. Thus the first action is lost person comes to put their faith, as worthless as it may be, in what he or she believes about Christ, such as Jesus is God incarnate, born of a virgin, lived a...

On and on this poster continues to post falsehoods already shown to be his own misrepresentations, just like Satan in the garden. Next he claims God would credit a person's faith as righteousness that does not meet God's purpose. Idiotic gibberish. On and on, one false claim after another...

Yet another vile misrepresentation, just like Satan. Did I say God is desperately trying to save every person? Nope. I referenced 1 Timothy 2:4-6 which says: who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For...

Yet another vile misrepresentation, just like Satan. Did I say "your righteousness?" Nope, so a false claim by a falsehood poster. I said God credits the person's faith as righteousness. Does anyone believe this poster actually did not grasp that having a right belief does not make a...

God desires all people to be saved according to His redemption plan, not Calvinism's compulsion plan. Thus Christ's death was a ransom for all, those to be saved and those never to be saved. Christ became the means of reconciliation for the whole of humanity. Since Christ provided the means...

The issue is not the true gospel, but whether God credits an imperfect understanding of that gospel if it meets His purpose. Your thread says no, which is an obscene, my way or the highway claim. What does Matthew 23:13 say? That people who were in the process of entering the kingdom were...

Folks, please re-read John Chapter 21. Note how Peter does not love Jesus sacrificially (Greek agapao) but does love Jesus relationally (phileo). Jesus accepts this immature commitment as meeting His purpose. Calvinism's claims are false, unbiblical, and obscene. They deny Christ died as a...

The issue is not the true gospel, but whether God credits an imperfect understanding of that gospel if it meets His purpose. Your thread says no, which is an obscene, my way or the highway claim. This thread violates the basic tenets of the forum.
