"Double Pre-destination" is not some hackneyed mis-characterization by opponents of Calvinism. There are, and have been from Theodore Beza on, many Calvinists who absolutely DO embrace the idea. Most on this board, and that I know of do not. In this day and age, there are not many modern...

Okey dokey :thumbsup:

I am not saying anyone here is doing that...It was a general statement (I thought we were on the "history" thread LOL... I essentially agree for the most part with your OP.

I know.... I appreciated your post. I found it humorous because you single-handedly instantly destroyed a favourite Zeitgeist of some people on this board... I had also seen the Helwys confession before, as I am a regular denizen of EA.org which you linked to. I LIKED your post....that was...

:thumbsup::thumbsup: There is much truth to this. What I find so fascinating personally is the extreme ethno-centrism of those of us who speak of "Church" history who essentially only mean our Western Traditions....I can imagine all of the myriad of Christians East of Germany thinking to...

Yes..... they sold out on that whole slavery thing too :( :laugh:SORRY... I just couldn't resist any longer, It popped in my head the second I read this post 10 hours ago, and I've been exercising restraint since then. :laugh:

On a side note: althought I wouldn't be dogmatic about it...I've never been convinced that Saul was not ultimately saved.

I can relate to this something very similar happened to me too: You see, I used to think the rule of Law mattered and that felons should not be enabled and emboldened by a government which refuses to follow and enforce it's own laws, but in a conversation with my sainted mother, she too posed...

How about.....NO, just because one more bankrupt bureaucratic money sump is the LAST thing we need. If it were worth doing.......Then the private sector would have done such a thing already. (and they probably would have named it the "John Galt Line":thumbs:) AMTRAK (like essentially...

Gilbert?? :laugh: Who's that? It's not really an "either/or"...fundamentally, the visiting itself is essentially door-to-door...but you are always targeting "leads"... There is a list generated of specific individuals you visit, and not so much mere cold-calling. The strategy is married to...

Let's take this line-by-line shall we?

1.) If it weren't Biblically untrue.... I would think that Ron Paul (even if I don't dig his foreign policy) was the Messiah 2.) Unfortunately, the English language is de-volving in it's capacity for specificity and explanatory power, and because of this, I maintain that...

In some weird way...I have always thought it wise to sort-of comprehend the nature and the personality and the presumptive back-ground of the PARTICULAR individual you are trying to rejoinder/debate with/speak with... I have a similar experience, but not exactly: I was raised in an...

Rev... while I don't condone unnecessarily harsh tonality and I am personally guilty of being unnecessarily harsh (even rude) sometimes...I truly understand where Luke is coming from. Honestly, I understand where he is coming from. To some extent, it's merely a personallity issue: To some...

LOL!! You are OBVIOUSLY new to this board...........30+ pages in a week?? Two more words for you: 1.) Booze 2.) Calvinism/Arminianism We can generate 500 pages in a month if all goes well on those two topics!!! Why not? These...among other issues are some of the most particularly...

Thank you...:flower: I thought the warning appropriate, because it wasn't merely about an unregenerate "drunkard" who got saved and gave it up...I was a VERY regenerate man...but back-slidden somewhat, and it still bit me in the bum! :tear: Even other-wise "mature" Christians must ALWAYS...

I thought I might add this much only: I agree whole-heartedly with Luke, HAmel, Webdog, Ann, and others who have a correct Biblical view of alcohol. Frankly, used rightly and correctly, it is a blessing, pure and simple. I want to add this warning from my own personal experience: It is...

There are....watching the video, my only concern was hoping this poor woman didn't lose the entire Judeo-Christian world-view. Too often, recognizing the insanity and frankly Satanic influence in a "Church" like this would cause someone to give up on Christianity entirely. That's the real...

:applause::thumbsup: Jud 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: Jud 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. I just wanted my fire insurance. I was a lost sinner, and in no way concerned about...
