What you are promoting is universalism BF. That is not biblical and you should know this.

We were all unsaved sinners before we responded to the drawing of God. God uses many means to draw man to Himself whether creation, conviction of sin, the gospel message etc. But even with all these it is still the unregenerate man that must respond as God does not do it for him. That is why we...

Yes it has as it then offers what they consider to be support for their particular view of salvation. We have total inability to save ourselves but we have the ability to respond to the drawing of God.

You are right @canadyjd "they think the doctrines of grace are clearly taught in scripture". Your TULIP/DoG is a man-made philosophy based on 4th century teachings that deny to truth of God's word.

What error Van? Your view is the odd one that leads to what I had said. What does Act 16:30-31 tell us Van? Now according to you it should read: Act 16:30 and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Act 16:31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and {then...

Well I see that you are still trying to deny the power of God. As I have said many times @canadyjd "All people have the ability to respond to the various means that God has provided with which to know Him" Why do you want to limit God? Have you never read in the bible of creation, conviction...

Z you do not even trust the word of God, what is wrong with you? You in your arrogance and pride in your vaunted calvinism you have closed your mind to the biblical truth. Under your calvinism they can only do as God has determined that they do so even their turning away in sin would only be...

So what do those verses means Van? So if I understand your view correctly, we trust in Christ Jesus and then we have to wait, what 8-10 days before we get an answer from God as to whether He thinks our faith is good enough form Him to save us. Not what the bible says but it seems to work for you.

Try reading it without the calvinist glasses. Rom 3:11 There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. You should look at the Greek if you want to have a clearer picture of what Paul was saying here. Rom 3:11 οὐκ There G3756 PRT-N ἔστιν Is Not One G2076 V-PXI-3S ὁ That G3588 T-NSM...

So are these verses not in your bible Van? Luk 8:13 The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away. 1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will...

Where do you come up with these foolish comments? Well if you want to say someone is better than those that reject the truth then ya that fact they are saved would make their eternal future better. But I can see your problem, you do not even understand Rom 3:11. You are just following the...

Do you calvinists not read a post before you ask your questions? Faith/trust is a response to information. You know like it says in Eph 1:13 they hear the gospel message and believe that it is true. That results in trust/faith in whom the message was about, Christ Jesus. It is the assent of...

What did you not understand in that post? I did answer the question you just do not like the answer. Heb 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. What is Faith Faith is believing that Christ is what He is said to be, [Knowledge] and that He...

All people have the ability to respond to the various means that God has provided with which to know Him. Some will respond with faith/trust in the information given others will respond by rejecting those truths. Heb 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of...

Did not dismiss them Ken just do not make the error you seem to have made.

All ready have it thank you. And that is not arrogance it is trusting in the indwelling Holy Spirit to give me that insight into His word.

You make the error of thinking one example equals the all. But I will say that Philpot's view does fit with the might makes right view we see in calvinism. All mankind can know of God through his creation and realize how great He is and how small we are.

Odd that Phipot and it would seem you think man has to be crushed before he will humble himself before God. Do you not think the glory of creation can humble a man? Speaking for myself it was His creation the beauty of nature, the expanse of the night sky that cause me to humble myself before...

Psa 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" Psa 150:6 Let everything that breathes praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!

Thankfully most Christians have not followed questionable philosophies. Man has made many attempts to draw the unsuspecting away from the truth of God's word. That is why one should always go back to His word and question any man-made philosophy. If it does not align with the bible then it...
