Praise God!

I have a hard time seeing how God loved the WORLD, yet didn't elect them the world to salvation.

what changed?

So basically my thought was to have a thread where we can have a limitless train of posts where we praise the Lord and give testimony to what he's doing in our lives. Here's the first: I am so thankful for the mercy of God in my life, I certainly do not deserve to be where I am in life...

Amen to that.

Sorry but you will never convince me that Regeneration preceeds faith and repentance. I detest and abhor the Doctrines of Calvinism. I find it absolutely disgusting that a God would hold people responsible for sins and rejecting Christ when he is the one who is responsible for not...

How can a non regenerated sinner turn away from sin? a sinner must be regenerated before they can turn away from sin, Repentance is change of mind about self and looking to Jesus. a person will never look to Jesus unless they change their mind (Repent) about self. Could you show from...

1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 1Ti 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

I found this neat article on the sin nature: As we continue to grow in our understanding of grace, it is essential that we really understand this concept of “sin nature”. What is it and how does it apply today? I believe most churches teach a wrong concept of “sin nature”, and in doing so...

What does the bible mean when it says I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me?

Bump it up.

No love is not always felt. I KNOW God loves me because he died on the cross for me. But I do not always feel love. Love is not a feeling, You can have a knowledge of love, but it is not a feeling. that is why many marriages fall apart, because they think love is a feeling, Love is a choice...

Why do all men sin?

Because we are selfish.

an Evangelist friend of mine says:Lordship Salvation advocates say the drowning person must be willing to turn from the water and pull himself out while tears of regret roll down his face.

To be saved, we must repent of our sins only in the sense that we must agree with God that we are hell-deserving sinners! The truth is that we will be repenting of sins for the rest of our life. To clarify, we are saved ONCE and only once. Once you receive the gospel (Christ's death, burial...

Thank You Winman. I am guilty of perverting the Gospel lately. I certainly have repented of what Repentance for Salvation is.

Well im in the process of defining Repentance for myself. I would probably after thinking have to agree that it is a change of mind about self.

a good friend of mine says this: Of course it is. But an unbiblical emphasis of it is not. Repentance is me seeing my sinfulness and inability to do anything to save myself. It's when I stop trusting in dead works and trust only God. Hebrews calls it "Repentance from dead works." Faith...

I don't believe a person must stop sinning. But I do believe a person must change their mind about their sin, and be willing to trust God to save them from sin. There is a difference.
