Man has a free will but only in the realm of his nature. God gives wicked men freedom of will to operate in the bounds of their wicked mind. Even when it comes to natural ability we are not free to do what we want to do. Most people have limitations of skill, vocabulary, strength and so on. I...

Copperhead Baptist.

Thanks Light for putting the beheadment to rest. You can read in the post I mentioned it in that I was asking a question. Yes, it is possible at this time he was regenerated and then when he believed he was converted.

Winman you and Light are possessed with trying to disprove Calvinism. If someone like me that believes in Gods Sovereign grace post anything, right then your answer is, spoken like a true Calvinist. Please let John rest in peace. You say most people are quite aware they have sinned. I say most...

It seems that some don't believe Rom 1:16 that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, but maybe there gospel does not contain the true gospel of Christ so therefore they have no gospel at all. If they believed Rom 1:16 and 1 Cor 1:21 they would believe faith has an object, and that...

It is doubtful that a prison guard working in a cell dungeon would have ever heard of who this man Jesus was. So if this be so, how could the jailer believe on a savior in whom he had no knowledge of in light of Rom 10:14 ? People take it for granite that the Jailor was talking about spiritual...

I was taught years ago when a man sin's God turns his face against him or God withdraws from him but this is not so. Man is like Adam & Eve, which hid themselves from the Lord after they sinned. Our sin's blind us to the love of God in Christ Jesus. The Lord said he will never leave us nor...

The point is, Paul and Silas in verse 32 spake unto them the word of the Lord. It doesn't matter how long it took or how short the sermon was. it was needful and it was sufficient. Now concerning the thief on the cross. He read the superscription over Christ's head that said THIS IS THE KING OF...

There are many false Christ's that are proclaimed and believed on in this day and time. Every thing from a health and wealth gospel to a fire escape gospel. Believing is not the issue but which Jesus did you believe on is the issue. To be taught aright of God is to start with God and work down...

Read post 13 and see who attacked who first. You are right though, I should have let it pass.

In verse 32 Paul spoke unto the jailer and all that were in his house the words of the Lord and then he took them in verse 33 and baptized he and all his straightway. It's funny how Free wills leave out scripture.

Are you deliberatly leaving out verses 34 ad 35 to make your point. Include those verses and you will see Phillip preached unto him Jesus before he believed.

If you are going to quote me, please quote every thing I said. I used scripture to back up what I said. The Op never mentioned whether the person knew any thing about God or not.

I think a certain amount of knowledge is to be gained before anyone can believe on the Lord for salvation. I think a person must know who God is, what God demands. What Christ did in his work of redemption and where a sinners standing is in all of this. The scripture say's How can they believe...

Years ago I personally knew of a deacon in our church that after his wife died he was dead set on finding another wife. He went so far as joining the CoC to marry. On his death bed he lost his mind and his children couldn't let the grand children around him because of his constant foul language...

The family member that brought you the drink was testing you to see if you would forget yourself in a worldly setting and drink till you became buzzed or drunk. Also you broke your own word to them by drinking in public instead of private.

:thumbsup:

Rom 8:29-30 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also...

We were elected in time past, 11Tim 1:9, Eph 1:4. Regenerated in time St.John 3:5,8. Then we are converted when we believe on Christ.

So one might say, John is a Wolf that is preaching to the sheep. LOL
