If faith comes from you, it is a work of the flesh that cannot save. Scripture however says it comes from Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith. Two entirely different things.

Free will = enslaved to Satan unless enslaved to God.

If you cannot see this truth in scripture, you might have a huge problem.

Faith without works is dead. So in essence you claim works are your means of salvation. Meeting conditions that correspond to the Law are works.

He created all for his glory. Hell glorifies his justice, righteousness, and sovereignty.

God blinded the Pharisees who knew the original languages as well as any, but they could not understand what the words meant.

You turn the gospel into a system of works. You must be saved (born again) before you can discern the true Christ. “He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed...

People are way in over their heads on this. They try to make our wood, hay, stubble works perfect (impossible) instead of realizing they are clothed with Christ's imputed perfect righteousness. Our righteousness is merely an attempt to tell God thanks for Christ's imputed righteousness that...

The Pharisees knew what the words said, but they did not know what they meant. That's a big problem today.

You think you save yourself = an atonement that doesn't save. Christ saved me when I could not believe. Giving me a new birth that caused me to believe = an atonement that actually saves sinners.

If so, why aren't all saved? You imply his death didn't save anyone.

Paul says God imputed our sins to Christ and His righteousness to us. Sin cannot enter heaven. That's why we die so the resurrection can make us sinless. You should study Paul in Romans 5 on this matter.

If you understand the depths of depravity, we cannot believe in the true God unless first born again from where faith proceeds.

What few understand is that Christ's imputed righteousness and shed blood saves us. Our wood, hay, and stubble righteousness cannot save us. But it is our attempt to show our love for God. But contrary to the works salvation crew, even if all we do will never pass the test of fire, it is...

It is apostasy. It's the Pharisees teaching on the kingdom instead of Jesus' Amillennial teaching on the kingdom.

I think it is part of the great apostasy along with the Charismatic movement. I was deceived by both as a young believer and it took years to recover. Some of my life is irretrievable because of it. https://twitter.com/hashtag/raptureanxiety?lang=en

I think they need to walk by sight instead of faith. They see 1948 as fulfilled prophecy. Other signs in the Middle East that they superimpose the bible. They cling to these tokens as idols instead of going by what Jesus said about the kingdom. It took years for me to recover from this scheme...

I think he was already saved, believing in Christ enough to want to be saved. Jesus says whoever believes has eternal life. What was wrong was the false gospel that deceived him into thinking he must save himself.

Why do you defend Charismatics if you don't have faith in "tongues". You contradict yourself.

If you were interested in it, you'd know more about scripture on the matter.
