Notice that Christ is explaining what will happen when the "kingdom of God is near at hand." He's speaking of the generation "this generation" at the time this happens. The generation that see's this happen will not pass away until all these things come to pass.

The way I see it, Jon, is that God is a Holy God that despises sin, and cannot tolerate it. "By sending His Son to condemn sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Rom. 8:3-4 The righteousness is in the...

To be more to the point, If you're not familiar with dispensationalism you won't be able to see how the post-trib view of the rapture varies from the pre-trib view in light of the physical/spiritual Israel. The pre-trib view presents a clear distinction and separation between how God is dealing...

This is Dispensationalism but with a different look at the timing of the Rapture. My IFB Church believes in a pre-trib Rapture as most will, whereas some, as this Church in the OP believes in a post-trib. Rapture. But the view of physical/spiritual Israel is basically the same, but there are...

Even the sins we commit in this life as born-again believers are laid on Christ. This is why Paul argues that we can't continue to sin because God's grace has covered them, in other words, His Grace is not a license to sin. No sin in this world goes without the wrath of God. By accepting Christ...

God created Hell for Satan and his followers, in the end all who reject God no matter how much knowledge they had or didn't have in this life, will spend eternity with their Master, Satan, in Hell and then eventually in the Lake of Fire. The Scripture says man has no excuse. All of us have a...

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who took it that way.

We read about salvation and those being saved in Scripture, but God gave only one author of Scripture the responsibility to explain what salvation is and how we get there. Now we can go by what we think happened when Peter said Acts 2:38, and take it for what it's worth, or we can go to the...

Yes, I agree, it's good to have an exchange the way it should be. I know we all have our differences on what gets us into heaven or keeps us out, that is sad above all that I can imagine. We can't be passive when it comes to salvation, this is eternity we're talking about. God expects us to...

Yes, we disagree. I remember Paul telling the Galatians "you have fallen from Grace" when the Judaists came and convinced them they couldn't be saved unless they were circumcised. Of course I seriously doubt we agree on what this means.

Well, I guess we disagree, but that's nothing new around here. Another reason I believe what I believe is found in Rom. 4:14, "For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:" Some say the Law here only applies to the exact Law of Moses, I...

It's all the ones we add to faith in Christ as mandatory for salvation. Whatever that may be. Rom. 11:6 "And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work." Anything and everything...

Of course they can be saved if they meet the requirement of repentance and faith in Christ from the heart. God didn't require for man to understand the Trinity to be saved.

Ok, find in your heart to forgive me.

Faith in the finished work of Christ is a doctrine. But that is the doctrine I separated from the rest of the doctrines needed for salvation. No doctrine can save man, only faith in Christ and what He did for us. (separating this doctrine from all others)

I hope you don't think that because I disagree with Calvinism I'm an enemy of the Cross. It's not a particular doctrine that saves, faith in the finished work of Christ saves the soul from the wrath to come.

Amen Brother! God didn't demand correct doctrine for the saving of the soul. He demanded faith in the finished work of His Son!

When God made this promise to the Hebrew children, He knew they would perish in the wilderness in unbelief. But yet He still stived with them in much long-suffering. Paul tells us they did not enter into His rest, and tells us to be careful in having a heart of unbelief if they did not enter...

Throughout the journey in the wilderness God continuously made promises to the people in what He would do for them if they would obey Him. We are not given a narrative of all that happened in the wilderness, just as we are not given a narrative of all that Christ did in the Gospels. Verses...

No, I'm afraid they won't. It's a dagger in the heart of Sovereign Grace.
