Spoken about the children of God, not the children of the devil (world) The ones who hear are 'of God', John 8, Jesus says those who do not hear are not of the Father. I take that to mean they are not those who are born again. Someone who is born again, is an infant or babe and it is to them the...

Most definitely Calvinist as it agrees according to the scriptures and have no issues with the Reformed Church, but I dont go to a reformed church. I tend to like the NKJV, but have no problem with any traditional version. I dont like some very modern translations. God's will was done in...

God made His choice in eternity past, from before the beginning of the world, whom He would save with His great love. So the decree was love, mercy and compassion shown to some for His own purpose and will, Ephesians tells us so. This is known as the mystery of His will. 7 In Him we have...

To be consistent and not nullify Christ's words in John 6, the drawing as in many places Christ mentions all that the Father will give ME, refers to those God foreknew as His people, and it is they whom God draws and grants that they come to Christ. John 6:37 All that the Father gives Me will...

Scripture is written to people, and meant to be comprehended, but only by Spirit enabled people who God has opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and even logically when it is not speaking of visions or parables which must be interpreted. God is not the author of confusion. Most...

Since your not a C, you will not be making sense of scripture in a consistent manner. The drawing means God does not let go someone He has foreknown as His, the truth is His word accomplishes its purpose. When God draws people come to Him and believe. Your example of Agrippa and Felix prove...

Draw all what? How about draw all God calls. Those God has foreknown as His. What Does it Mean, “If I be lifted up I will draw all men to me”? – Grace Online Library Explains it well enough here. And does not nullify Christ's words by saying all means every single person. Jesus said, “And I...

And I still want to know is this the position of the forum here and baptists that the gospels have passed away, the things Christ taught about how the Father draws us to Him and about eternal life. Specifically becuase of the comment made the Christ said He was only sent to the lost sheep of the...

Here is what it says, all peoples, not as in each and every single human being. John 12:32 New King James Version (NKJV) 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” Of course this is just be an example of one verse says it like this and another says it like...

Hey, I would like to know is this position the belief of the mods and many other baptists on this forum? If so then a vast gulf exists that can't be bridged, and pretty much nothing is worth discussing or debating in this forum between Calvinists and arminians.

Now your changing scripture. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. No man not no Israeli. 45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned...

There is no libertarian free will for you to chose to believe in Christ. Jesus specifically taught this, 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you that believe not. For...

There is no peace for the wicked says God. Good news of the gospel is justified men can enter heaven to live with God. No one went to heaven after they died until Christ ascended and led the captivity captive. Christ came to give men eternal everlasting life, and before Christ came there was...

Since it is by grace that you are saved by faith and this is not of yourselves it is the gift of God, then any salvation of a person is all done by God. Jesus also says those who come to the light , the works they do are done in God so not of themselves. But these wicked, do not come to the...

Another mocking comment on the scripture quoted from you..

Manifestation would be so that all creation sees us with glorified bodies, justifying what God has said what He will cause to happen for His children. Right now our life is hid with Christ in God. BUT we have been raised with Christ, because HE LIVES, we live right now, we have the adoption as...

"Calvinism is not the gospel. The good news of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Messiah is. Nothing else. To preach anything other than Christ and Him crucified is a shameful thing and they will all answer for it." but your leaving out 'according to the scriptures', which...

No one is saved by being a Calvinist or an arminian or whatever other soteriology device you want to impose. Those are just classification systems people impose on Scripture to place things into groups which men love to do to try to understand things. I happen to agree with Calvinism as a...

See I view your attitude as one of casting aspersions onto Calvinists. No doubt some people are 'triggered' by the word into volatile flesh filled emotions. As an answer, no not really, but I see the hatefulness very evident in many people who are Christians. Then you have some who say a...

See your just acting like an 'anticalvinist' spoiler by the things you say, rather than saying the amen on the truths in scripture.. Anyone who is seeking after the truth in a noble manner will study the scripture to see if it really says these things. That is a very big problem I have...
