It’s impossible to be more clear than this; Acts 17:30; John 14:6; Acts 4:12. Will we be like the pope, and start believing muslims and brothers and sisters in Christ? The Bible says all in Adam are dead. All in CHRIST are alive. Christ is the Ark. Everyone not in the Ark are lost.

I don’t see people born again under the OT. They wrote as the Holy Spirit moved on them, but apparently weren’t indwelt. And Caiaphas, unregenerated as he was, and one of the leaders of those who crucified Christ, prophesied correctly concerning the Lord Jesus, dying for Israel, instead of the...

His wives turned him to false gods. I think it’s very probable he is in hell, but I am not God, and I do not know. Whatever God did with him is right and just and it really doesn’t matter what your opinion is nor mine.

Yes, but she didn’t know about Christ. Old Testament Saints were not born again as New Testament Saints are. Christ did not indwell them. They did not know that He would suffer and die, and be resurrected, because of their sins. God winked at man’s ignorance in the past, but now He has commanded...

canadyjd asked: “@MrW, do you agree with SH that many are saved without hearing the gospel? Do you agree with him the gospel is not necessary for salvation?” Before the Cross, yes. After the Cross, no. Acts 17:30. God can save how He pleases. There is however, only one way that pleases...

Silverhair: The other thread is closed. Have you ever studied Traducianism, perchance?

Enoch was an exception to the rule, as was Elijah, and even John the Baptist. As they say, the exception proves the rule. Enoch and Elijah's experience serve as prophetic examples of the future translation of the church to Heaven. I think it's safe to say Enoch can represent Gentile...

Canadyjd wrote: "1 Corinthians is very clear. Since man did not come to know God through their own wisdom, God was well pleased through the foolishness of the message preached (Jesus Christ and Him crucified) to save those who believe. There is no salvation without the gospel. The ideology of...

Can Non Calvinists Believe the Gospel Of The Kingdom? Is that Even Possible? I'm not sure what is particularly intended by the word "of the Kingdom", but if it is meant to say believing in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins and salvation, per...

I didn't say that. I am saying Calvinism does not equal Christianity because Calvinism DOES get many things wrong. Basically, they read Scripture backward. They think they believe because they are saved, but Scripture says we are saved because we believe. They get it backward. That does NOT...

In regard to Old Testament saints, they were not saved in the sense we are today. The Holy Spirit moved on them but did not indwell them. They didn't go to Heaven at death, but went instead to Abraham's Bosom, which was apparently in the Earth, in a separate compartment from hell, with a gulf...

Just a note: Prophesy is a verb. Prophecy is a noun. A prophet prophesies prophecies. And they are pronounced differently. :)

I think it was a fair number of years before Gentiles started receiving and believing on the Lord Jesus. It seems from Scripture it took a while for Paul and Peter to understand God intended salvation to go beyond the Jews and Israel.

I did not see where Silverhair said either of those two things. And no, I don't believe either of those, unless we're talking about babies and children too young or people too incapacitated to understand much of anything, much less believe the Gospel.

He saw Jews and Gentiles worshiping God together. In other words, he saw the results in action of God's grace to all mankind.

They think Calvinism IS Christianity. You know they came part way out of Catholicism. Ask a Catholic if he is a Christian. He will answer, “I’m a Catholic.” He assumes Catholic and Christian are the same. I hope we know being a Baptist is not always the same as being a Christian, even...

The perfect tense in English describes actions that are completed in relation to the present, past, or future. It includes three forms: present perfect (e.g., "I have eaten"), past perfect (e.g., "I had eaten"), and future perfect (e.g., "I will have eaten").

The King James came from the Masoretic Text, as I recall, so of course the KJB should align with those. God promised to preserve His Word. I believe the 1611 Translators were led of the Holy Spirit. The Scriptures were already inspired. No Christian churches ever accepted the Apocrypha, and...

Regulus, I went through what you are going through. It was indeed the roughest time of my life. It was horrible. I didn't want it to happen. Here I am, actually several decades later. I prayed and asked God to please send me a Christian wife, who loved the Lord Jesus, and if she did, then...
