I don't believe that is a good definition of "true faith". But how about you? Do you know for certain that you will always be a Christian? That would be OSAS.

Are you saying you are not sure you will still be a Christian in the future?

It seems to me that your position is you don't know what Ezekiel is talking about and you don't care. Ezekiel was shown a future temple and was given many details concerning this temple. We know it has not been built and it is yet to come. Now I for one believe Ezekiel and I also believe...

But you have no idea where? The temple Ezekiel spoke of and all it entails has not yet happened. So that makes it all post Calvery.

It seems you are dismissing the prophecy as basically worthless babel. Ezekiel said there is a new temple to come and it has not yet happened. He said there are blood sacrifices. If God showed him these things then most certainly they will come to pass. Just bc we may not understand the why...

Not sure. I haven't studied that out much if "bloody sacrifices" actually take place. However, God does nothing without purpose, so if the scripture declares it will happen post-Calvary, then it will indeed happen.

Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses believe they follow these scriptures as well. Does this prove to themselves they are saved?

Have we first established if this temple is yet to be built or has been built already?

I appreciate your helpful directions in this post. But there are MANY non- Cals here and abroad who have studied these issues the exact same way that you have outlined and we have come to very different conclusions. So it really isn't a fault in study approach that we believe differently about...

John MacArthur, John Piper, all the ones on the BB. Have read Matthew Henry, Spurgeon, many more I'm sure if I gave it more thought. Why do you ask? Oh, RC Sproul quite a bit also....

I have heard many sermons over the past 18 years of my studies. None have convinced me of TUIL's version of Election.

1. Yes 2. Not to my present knowledge concerning this issue. 3. If it has not come to pass, then it must be yet to come. So I am asking you what do you believe about these same questions...

I have read through this thread and I am not sure just what it is you are in disagreement with concerning Ezekiel's temple. Do you believe it was already built in the past?

I truly pray one does not base their position in Christ on how they obey the teachings of Jesus Christ. You say you know your are His because of the way you live????? Because you feel remorse when you sin??? I am astonished at this declaration from any Christian...... Do we really...

It's not as "deep" as the "Total Depravity" crowd would have it be. It simply means no man can equate himself with God. Only God is "good" - as in perfectly so.

Anyone who has attempted to debate you has received the same response... Did you understand my points? Rehearse them back to me.....

What do you want us to say sbm? "Oh yes we see your points and you certainly have properly interpreted and have proven each scripture is to be seen as you have seen it, we can find no flaws in your expositions". We have no idea what you mean when you ask us to reiterate your expositions...

Exactly! O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

I would seem as though sbm is getting picked on unless you have been here the past few months reading his mo. He refuses to debate any of his own OPs. All who have tried, both Cal and non Cal, only get stone walled with stupid comments like "do you understand my points, rehearse them back to...

Who is speaking? Jesus Christ. Of course He knows all the sheep that will ever be. Not all sheep existed yet, but God in His foreknowledge can indeed call them all (past present and future) His sheep. Even though they all have not yet been born and born-again. Jesus knows all His sheep that will...
