They have believed in vain as Paul has said. It's an empty faith, with no repentance and therefore no forgiveness. 31% of the worlds population today profess Christ as their Savior, yet Christ said, "narrow is the gate that leads to life and few there be that find it." The way I see it, the...

There are many in this world who hear the Gospel and believe Jesus died for our sins, they believe God and His Word, but for various reasons they refuse to repent. They will not enter into the Kingdom of God.

We know that God gives faith. Faith is one of the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit, but in the context of Scripture this gift of faith is for another purpose than the faith needed for salvation. This gift of faith is an added faith to accomplish a task given by God to a believer. It stands to reason...

God made the New Covenant with Israel, not the Church.

We (the Gentile Church) are spiritual descendants of Abraham by faith. We are not the natural descendants (Israel). Paul told us we are the wild branches of the olive tree grafted in with the natural branches (Israel).

We don't know when God determined man would be saved through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son. That was His plan at some point in the past. That is what believing man was predestined for, whosoever will, let him come.

No, we are not enemies, we just disagree.

Yes, you did give me a say, I thank you for that!

Paul said "with the heart man believes unto righteousness." I think it obvious that righteousness comes from believing. Then Paul also said that "Abraham believed God and He counted it to him for righteousness." If we put this together from Paul we can see that God grants righteousness...

Yes, opposing a theory that has never been established from Scripture. It's all theory and contradicts verse after verse in Scripture.

"For many are called but few are chosen." The chosen are they who hear the Gospel and believe, calling on God in repentance and for mercy, seeing they are lost in this world with no hope. They were predestined before the foundation of the world to be conformed into the image of Christ. They...

The same could be said of the TULIP theory. But we know God desires all to be saved and that He so loved the world that He gave His Son. We know that God reaches out to man through the preaching and hearing of His Gospel. We know that God has charged us believers to spread the Gospel...

If you must, then deny that Scripture says God desires all men everywhere be saved, make yourself of no credibility. God's desire for all men to be saved does not mean all men everywhere will be saved. It means God has given man the free will to choose his own way, which you again deny.

The Gospel according to the apostle Paul. 1 Cor. 15:1-4 "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain...

1 Cor. 2:1-5 "And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much...

@John of Japan I remember as a young teenager our SS class would go out on the weekends to the shopping centers (before the malls) and pass out your grandfathers tracts from the Sword of the Lord, inviting them to Church.

This post takes me back to when I was a young man raised up in that small IFB Church.

We agree on so much here, except that God always gets His way with man. You know that it's not God's will that man rejects His Son. You won't admit it here but in your heart you know the truth. God allows man to do the things He has revealed to us is wrong, even to the point of rejecting of...

Prov. 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." "Train up" means to hedge in a child, in this context it refers to the Holy Bible, the way he should go. My Biblical foundation began in SS, and my Mom's determination to raise me in the...

What took you so long, ky? That is entirely a matter yet to be seen for both of us. I do look forward to that day, maybe we can discuss it then.
