Do you not believe you were chosen B4 creation. Were you not one of the "elect"? Your post is rather confusing on that Ken.

So lets look at what you have just posted @KenH 1] God's elect will be enabled/made willing to trust in Him. 2] God reprobate will not be enabled/not made willing to trust in Him. So since God desires all to come to repentance and He could enable all people but He chose to not enable the...

My question for you is why do you need to add words Van. Do you think He has to think about whether faith is real or not. The bible is quite clear Van Eph 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith... Do you see the words God credited their faith first. Faith is faith Van...

So John Gill writes from a calvinist point of view. This may surprise you but I do not care what J. Gill has to say on the matter. It is just his opinion. Why is it that the calvinist runs back to other calvinists to support their view. If the word of God supported your view then why do you...

It is not fiction Van it is a question. The way you write it would seem that God has to think about whether to grant it as real or unreal faith. You seem to have a persecution complex Van. Not everyone that questions your views is out to get you.

What is uncredited faith @Van?

@Van from what you are saying it seems like you think God has to think about it and decide if the persons faith is good enough or real and then credits it as righteousness.

It is not the name of the view but the view itself that matters Ken. You have set yourself against the word of God. Rom_1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, 1Co_15:1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel...

You are just following the calvinist line not the word of God Ken. By grace we are saved through faith not unto faith as you are saying.

You can say you follow the bible but what you post shows that you are in disagreement with the word of God.

Your view is not what we find in scripture Ken. Your view has people saved prior to them even trust in God. So at least now I can say with certainty that you are a calvinist although your want to call it SG. “A cardinal point of Reformed theology is the maxim: ‘Regeneration precedes faith.’...

But you do follow calvinist philosophy. Your own posts show that Ken.

Is your faith based on you freely trusting in God for your salvation or were you regenerated so that you could believe? I just say your answer to @Charlie24 so it is not actually your faith but one that you think was given to you. That is calvinism 101. So your sovereign grace is just another...

Have to burst your bubble Z. My faith is not dependent on what Van or JonC think or say. I have told you more than once that I trust the word of God but that just goes over your head. You on the other hand have used man to support your view rather than the bible. So take a look in the mirror...

@Zaatar71 You call the WCF/LBCF solid confessions but I see them as flawed efforts by men too support a particular theological view that is at odds with the word of God. You can trust your man-made philosophy and I will trust the word of God.

If one is justified then they are saved Ken. Are you making the claim you were saved B4 creation? Ken you have no way of knowing if your faith is real. It could be just to make your time in hell worse. This is from the same web site as B4 We also adopt as a fuller expression of our faith...

Well that is one thing in your favor. Yes God loves all those that have freely trusted in Him and are thus elect. You do realize that Paul is quoting from Mal 1:2-3 Three things to note re this verse: one this is National not personal two it deals with service not salvation three it deals...

But you have to hope that the faith and salvation you think you have is actually true. Remember you had nothing to do with it and even your repentance and faith had to be done for you or given to you. How could you know that you are regenerate? The only true test is to persevere to the end in...

Ken you can quote scripture that I agree with, but that is not the issue, It is your calvinist flawed theory of divine determinism that places God in the position of being responsible for all the evil. It is your WCF/LBCF that state that clearly so when you refer to scripture for support you...

Ken you are almost right but that also means you are wrong. God does not make you believe or make you willing. Why do you need to commit your salvation to Christ as according to the calvinist view you were saved B4 creation. Even the repentance and faith you claim is not your own as it had to...
