Yes, Salvation has three facets, Positional Sanctification ( God transfers a lost individual into Christ), Progressive Sanctification (God guides us as we grow in Christian maturity) and Ultimate Sanctification (We are bodily redeemed, changed in the twinkling of an eye and meet Christ in the...

It is rather easy to understand the difference between faith and belief. If we accept something as true, we believe it is true. But we can say we believe Jesus is our Lord, but then lack commitment such that we make Jesus the Lord of our life. James tells us of "dead faith" which does not...

Romans 9:16 is found in most bibles, but not in Calvinist rewrites. If salvation does not depend on the person who wills to be saved, then at least some lost spiritually dead people will to be saved. Can you answer this? Nope. Not ever.

Note sure "triggers" is the best word to ascribe to Democrats given the last two presidents shot were both Republican. They like to claim arresting a criminal alien for deportation is a "kidnapping." They like to claim "law enforcement" is akin to Nazi Gestapo. They like to flip/flop when...

Just as with Calvinism, Arminianism is a fiction. God says salvation does not depend upon the lost either willing or working to be saved, Romans 9:16. The above denies this reality. Total Spiritual Inability is a fiction, Limited Spiritual ability, able to understand and respond to spiritual...

See posts 112 to 120. All the same, signifying nothing. This is how Calvinism hides truth.

Repeating nonsense does not move the ball. Folks, just read Hebrews 11:39-40. The promise not received was to be made perfect. The OT saints had to wait in Abraham's bosom until Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Now, Calvinism claims Hebrews 11:39-40 do...

False doctrines 1) Denial of the authority of scripture for faith and practice. 2) Denial of the Trinity 3) Denial that Jesus is God incarnate. 4) Denial of the name of Christ, virgin birth, sinless life, death on the cross, resurrection as Savior and Lord.

Routinely, the Left-wing press dutifully report on some church or Pastor having some scandal involving sex or money. Clearly born anew believers fail to live as they should, many times privately but sometimes publicly. One wing of Christianity advocates "Easy Believeism" which accepts lack of...

As far as presenting the NT books in any specific order, three basis seem valid: 1) In the order written (chronological) 2) In the order found in the early multiple book manuscripts. 3) In the order thought to best present NT theology. Apparently, number 2 has been used in the revised...

For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who have been set apart in Christ.

"Those who are made holy" misses the action of the verb, which is to be set apart in Christ, thus undergoing the washing of regeneration, which results in perfect righteousness. Unity, God in Christ, Christ in Us, Us in Christ.

If something has a bad reputation, you rename or relabel or rebrand it. But if something has a good reputation, you steal the name, and peddle substandard stuff.

On and on folks, posters make claims without any understanding of the scripture cited! Does this verse say will be made perfect passively, or that we are to strive to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect? Strive to be perfect! Other verses teach that we are passively made perfect, but...

Great Thread, Ben1445! First, when seeking to understand a parable, we must be careful not to assume that a metaphor in one parable means the same thing in another parable. For example, Jesus refers to lost sheep in Matthew 10:6 and 15:24, but in Matthew 25:33-34, Jesus refers to sheep as...

Now, Calvinism claims Hebrews 11:39-40 do not mean what they say, but rather the OT saints did not have to wait, but received the promised perfection before Christ died. I kid you not, the time travel theology folks use it to nullify verse after verse.

The great thing about being born anew, is we can look back and see our faults, but we can look forward and see no obstacle for our service to Christ.
