"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." {Eph. 2:10} Good works follow salvation. Eternal salvation is alone by grace.

David prayed that God would not incline his heart to do evil. Why would he utter such words if it were not within God's prerogative, power, or disposal to do so? By whose Spirit was Jesus led into the wilderness to be tempted of the Devil? "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth...

This post is directed particularly to the Arminians and others who hold to a limted view of predestination. "Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties." (Ps. 141:4) Does this prayer of David seem to...

I don't know how many are going to be in heaven, and I don't know how many are going to be in hell. All I know is that Jesus was satisfied at Calvary, and is going to be satisfied throughout all eternity! The pleasure of the Lord prospered in His hand, and it pleased God to bruise our Lord Jesus...

Amen, brother!

I certainly do not believe in Gospel regeneration, but I most certainly do believe in the necessity of Gospel conversion. "...[W]e are not saying that the gospel creates this faith in the sinner for that was already imparted at regeneration. To better understand this look at Romans 1:16-17...

"Is it the revealed will of God that he will bring his elect into faith in Christ independent of human instrumentality? That is the question before us and one that we hope to answer with the light we have. We hope to show in this article that God has revealed to us in his Word that the means by...

What is your view of the Gospel in salvation?

I'm going to deny unconditional election. Now it is up to man, according to his own free will, to come to Jesus. God's sovereignty in this? I'm going to deny perseverance of the saints. Now it is up to man to keep his own salvation even though the New Testament writer wrote, "For it is God...

You can't determine a Calvinist by their belief in the sovereignty of God. If you take away the TULIP doctrine out of the modern-day Primitive Baptist church, and all you're left with is free will. The modern Primitives teach a fabrication of Armenianism. They deny the absolute sovereignty of...

Only those who attend churches which are Calvinistic in theology will hear that glorious truth Easter Sunday. All the other churches teach Jesus came to just make salvation possible for all men, but secured it for none; that He didn't save His people from their sins. Not many churches teach...

I've not judged anyone by simply defending my belief of the trinity, nor would I ever kill anyone over it...I'll leave the killing up to the Roman Catholic Church because they seem to do it so nicely and completely all by themselves. http://members.aol.com/hisbygrace2/bk1-ch27.html Click on...

Quote: It is hypocritical, especially if your objection to the cinema is based on the content of the movies. If that's the case, then simply changing the location at which they're viewed doesn't solve the problem. Amen! That is why you throw out the television. (Ps. 101:3) I will set no...

Daniel and David knew. (Ps. 110:1) The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Dan. 7:13) I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought...

Jehovah = Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (1 John 5:7) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one (Jehovah). Here is some good teaching from John Gill: (Ex. 33:14) And he said, My...

Jesus came to accomplish His Father's will (John 6:38). His Father's will was that of all He gave to Him, He would lose nothing (John 6:39). Not one drop of our Lord's precious blood was shed to make salvation possible, but to secure the salvation of His people. (Matt. 1:21) And she shall bring...

(John 1:13) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (Rom. 9:16) So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. (Ps. 58:3) The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as...

Tuor, That is one confusing post without any biblical truth. As far as God is concerned, His people are already called, justified, and glorified because in Romans 8 those words are in the past tense. However, I do not think, in the mind of God, we are still in our mother's womb.

From what I have read on this board, Christopher is a Primitive Baptist. I have not yet met Chris. I am not a Primitive Baptist. I am a Sovereign Grace Baptist. Sovereign Grace Baptists teach what the early Primitive Baptists taught. The Primitive Baptists today do not teach what the original...

You are right, the five points of Calvinism are not an infallible declaration. Then again, I never said they were. So...what is the problem?
