Have been a Christian for over 60 yrs. I grew up during the time when we we taught that the word of God was the final authoring for faith and practice. Now it seems that many will follow their favorite teachers no matter if they teach the word of God or their own version of the word of God. I...

We are elect when we are in Christ Jesus the Elect One. Not before as you seem to think So you do not believe the word of God.

Then I would have to say that you did not even understand what you believed. Calvinism may seem to be biblical but it falls short whan held up against the word of God. Because the bible does not support that view. Why do calvinists have such a hard time understanding the Omniscience of God...

@Tea what you call a misunderstanding is actually not one at all. While prior calvinists that you follow may have used the bible the error is in how they used the bible. As has been pointed out on this board many times the calvinist approach to scripture is to use it to support there...

Isa 42:1 (NKJV) "Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. Joh_6:56 (NKJV) "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. Joh_15:5 (NKJV) "I am the vine, you...

Well we know that they were first established around 1609 by John Smyth. If you are referring to the apostles confessions of the faith then you should be saying the general baptists go way back to that time. Scripture does not support your particular view.

Well since God did not elect anyone prior to creation that takes care of one of your errors. The "Elect One" is Christ Jesus and we are only elect when we are in Him and that only happens when we believe in Him not before. Let me know when you come to that biblical understanding Z.

General Baptists were around prior to to split to form the particular baptists.

What game Z? They became part of the elect when they were sealed. You have it backwards Z. They hear the gospel and then they believe. You cannot believe in something you know nothing about. When one believes and is sealed by the Holy Spirit they become part of the elect. So you do not...

So you trust the words of man over the words of God. I prefer to go to the source rather than the ones writing about the source. While commentaries can be useful they are not to replace the actual word of God.

What you understand is the calvinist misunderstanding of the text. Notice carefully the term “IN HIM”. Verse 13 tells us how one comes to be IN HIM. Notice the order: 1. “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation.” They heard the...

That bit of logic is confused to say the least. Those that trust in God will be saved. We see this in the OT and it still is in the NT. I think that is one of the biggest flaws in calvinism. They seem to think God misspoke when He said He send His son so that the world could be saved through...

Na your a calvinist that just loves to make false claims. Your obvious lack of understanding of the word of God gives you away every time.

Have you even read my posts. If you had then you would know you have just made a really dumb comment. Why do you continue to use strawman arguments Z? I have posted numerous verses that show the truth of scripture but it seems you do not actually trust the word of God as written but only as...

Have you seen the whole movie? I understand where you are coming from but I do think you take it a bit to far. Does the Holy Spirit convict people? Yes. Does God present various means by which to draw people to Himself? Yes. That is not in dispute by myself or Flower's as I have seen in his...

Where in scripture do you see this "direct work of the Holy Spirit upon a person to directly open their mind or enlighten or convict." You can point to Lydia but she already knew and trusted in God. She learned about Christ but she was already saved or do you think faith in God is not enough...

@canadyjd the fact you do not even understand the word of God is evident every time you make that silly comment. You are letting your false cavinist teachings cloud your mind. You need to trust the word of God not your beloved calvinist teachers.

Perhaps you should listen to this video. I would suggest that you have come to the wrong conclusion. Or this one I was able to find both of these in just a few minutes so I am curious how you came to the conclusion you have in regard to Flower's.

Your arrogance is showing Z. How you understand them is not the test Z. It is what do they actually say. The reality is that you cannot understand them as you contradict what they say. Paul, John and Peter all said the same thing, one has to believe before they are saved. This is the same...
