I hesitate to engage directly with you [Personal attack edited]. However, I will [Personal attacked edited] attempt to gain a better understanding of freewill. External forces are employed to put/keep a person in bondage, restrained or imprisoned. These acts are rarely, if ever...

In the account of Jesus dealing with Saul, Jesus did not consider Saul's freewill, not did Saul. Saul immediately submitted his will to Jesus. I missed the part where Jesus knocked and asked permission from Saul. Neither did the Holy Spirit knock when He brought me to awareness of my sinful...

Whatever will Jesus had, He submitted to the will of His Father. Luk 22:42 KJV - Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Jde 1:18 KJV - How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

Hopefully, someone can give an insightful meaning of the "free" part of freewill.

If God wants you to spend eternity with Him, you will. The Holy Spirit will conform your will to His. As an aside, RCC doctrine does not comport with anything that has been said. Their position on salvation is contained exclusively in the act of baptism. When an individual is baptized with...

As I recall, he was the Pastor. If my recall is correct, and according to my wife, it is, then yes, I sat under Arno Q. Weniger, Sr's ministry.

This is the ministry God used to draw me to Him. The first service I attended, Sunday evening in Nov/Dec 1960, a young lady greeted me as I entered the vestibule. After serving overseas, I returned to the USA in 1964. We were married in 1965!

Some are more doctrinal than others. Prove me wrong. :p Just joking - of course.

I am troubled by your conclusion that infant baptism is not sin. It is not condoned in scripture. Furthermore, it could reinforce other non-scriptural practices. Consider: Rom 14:13 KJV - Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a...

My cursory research of M. Servetus revealed that he rejected the Trinity. I would appreciate more resources from you to relate him to the OP concerning child baptism. Thank you for your reply.

Heb 12:5 KJV - And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: Heb 12:8 KJV - But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

From post #5 These so-called endowed rights applied to men by "their Creator'. Who is their creator? The woman seeking and abortion might in-fact be pursuing happiness as she defines it. Likewise, the homosexual or lesbian couple getting married might also be seeking happiness. Who among...

You make a good point. My phrasing was poor. Salvation, at any and all stages, is between God and the individual.

Christian liberty does not equate to social freedom. Liberty in Christ releases Christians from the bondage and consequence of sin. I do not expect non-Christians who are in leadership positions in government to make laws based no Biblical teachings. I do however, expect such leaders to...

I agree. RCC doctrine teaches that re-birth (being born-again) is accomplished through water baptism. GUIDELINES FOR BAPTISM IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH | Annunciation Catholic Parish A. The Sanctifying Role of the Church (Code of Canon Law, c. 842, 849; Catechism of the Catholic Church...

At what point of your son's salvation was it not between him and God? Of course, that question applies to anyone of God's elect.

Please supply any Biblical or extra-Biblical documentation to support your position. Particularly, that the earliest Christians (born-again believers) rejected the substitutionary death of Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. Below are the thirteen occurrences of the word ransom in the...

Please supply a scriptural reference. In support of penal substitution, consider this passage: 2Co 5:21 KJV - For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
