Amen! :thumbsup:

Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

Liar about what? Your losing me.....

Brother, sounds like all this is an attempt to get out of saying Adam had freewill to make a choice. Really?

You brought it up, and it's your thread, so I don't know why you are getting defensive about it. I just responded to your own post.

It does bother you...

Well, here again. I have debated with Calvinist here who declared Adam had freewill to choose, just nobody else. So what am I to believe? So says Augustine. I believe he is wrong, you believe he is right.

You must not have been following all the threads I created on this topic. I posted a couple of quotes from a Calvinist here on the BB and asked if his views on TULIP and Calvinism was within the Calvinist camp. Not one Calvinist here opposed his quotes. He declared No Belief in TULIP = No sheep...

At the end of the day, what does it matter if TULIP is correct or not? Calvinist preach to the lost the exact same way Non Calvinist preach to the lost. As far as Christian living goes, the Calvinist lives no better no worse than the Non Calvinist lives, each having their own personal walk going...

Herein lies the problem. Calvinist believe that God giving man the freewill to choose somehow makes God less sovereign in salvation. Actually, it is Calvinist who take away God's sovereignty by declaring God cannot allow freewill. Same as saying God cannot send an angel or Jesus Christ Himself...

I assume you mean divide as in not fellowship together? If so, my answer is no. Yes, and it is a major. TULIP is written by man, yet many Calvinist place it equal to Scripture. Even declaring belief in Calvinism comes by Divine Enablement. Major issue! Churches should not take a doctrinal...

I personally do not find the two terms accurate definitions of Calvinism verses anti-Calvinism. I believe God has given man the freewill to make a choice to be saved, I don't see this as cooperating with God in regeneration for regeneration is solely the work of God. Where the monergist is...

The SDA church has "evolved" over the years as to include other believers who do not hold to their Sabbath views concerning salvation. And for that matter all the other views in which their church teaches must be followed. Basically, they give a pass to those who are ignorant to their teachings...

I guess I never believed I was sanctified by following the Law. I was born-again at a young age (10) and afterward became aware pretty quickly that following the Law just wasn't a reality, so I quickly became a believer of faith alone. When the Lord called me to study His Word at the age of 33...

But wouldn't you agree the topics which have been hotly debated here have been MAJORS? The threads I started were on direct quotes from Calvinist; 1) No belief in TULIP = No Sheep 2) One becomes a Calvinist the same way one becomes a Christian 3) God hates the non-elect Are these not...

If this is the case (and it appears that it is after seeing all the infighting among those who label themselves Calvinist here) then I do not see the point in wearing such a label. I don't see any unity in it.

Amen! I believe we are all guilty from time to time of letting ourselves get legalistic on subjects. We have to keep our guard up to this less the Law becomes our Saviour and we lose sight of the cross of Christ. We can also become judge and jury projecting our own pet convictions upon others...

Now that is gong to get you a rehearsal invitation. :tongue3:

Ok, thanks for the lesson there. I thought that was what I was doing when I question a person's post and then they come back and respond clearing things up. :thumbsup: So what then when after a back and forth discussion one still believes the Gospel is Calvinism, and one believes the Gospel...

Amen! :thumbsup:
