Notice that the first part of the quote is not my statement, I did not write that, I was quoting someone else. In response to their statement which I do not agree with I posed several questions. So when you ask if I am a calvinist, I would answer with a big "NO", far from it. I poses the...

So the question stands; how does God draw men? When man resists the Holy Spirit how is He resisted, is God trying to draw them through His Spirit in their hearts and man is just fighting a pull on their hearts? I am under the conviction that God draws man to Himself through His word today...

Does God supernaturally draw all men or just some? DHK WROTE: In accepting it are you actually doing something in order to receive it? Salvation is by grace through the faith! The faith is objective not subjective. In the context of the Greek it is not a faith by man but salvation...

Alive in Christ worte: So putting your trust in Christ and turning from your ways and believing in Christ is NOT something you actually have to do? Marcia Wrote; Romans and Galatians are talking about doing the works of the Law to merit salvation. It is not refering to obeying the...

Faith is work, our Lord said so. The people asked what shall we do! Jesus had a great opportunity to correct them, but He did not say to them " You cannot do any work", He told them to believe in Him, this is the work of God! Christ responded: “This is the work of God (i.e., from God – a...

So when Paul says that not of yourselves, is he refering to grace and faith or just grace, is it our faith if it is not of yourselves? Everyone points to this faith as being subjective, yet whatever faith it is Paul makes it clear that it is not of yourselves. The majority text has definite...

Is faith something we do? Is repentance something we do? Is there no cooperation between God and man? does God believe and repent for us or is it something we must do? Faith come ffrom hearing the word of God, by hearing the word of God we develop godly sorrow, it is the word of God that...

First of all I think the point is thae fact that the thief showed repentance. Secondly, how he came to know and understand these things is not given to us, so it could have come way of him knowing about Jesus before had and then realizing the reality of the truth, or perhaps Jesus spoke to him...

Some say that they have heard God speak to them, even though the scriptures say that Jesus speaks to us now through word, if we belong to him. Even when God spoke to some directly it was for the purpose of speaking to others His will and command. Even those who most would deem not Christians...

Then maybe the title of this section should be changed, it does say: "Other Christian Denominations Debate other denominations' doctrines/beliefs here."

I agree that to repent of all of one's sins of their past would be impossible! Therefore repentance must be a change towards God and a change of heart and mind of ones sinful life in rejecting God. I have come to the conclusion that when we put our trust in Christ there must be by...

1 Thess. 1:8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. If obeying the gospel is knowing God, believing or having faith alone then why does Paul say that "on those who do not know God" and "do not obey the...

They may believe it but if they are not following the teachings of God then how can they be christians, just because they believe or say they are? This is not a slam on them it is what it is. Either they are following and teaching biblical doctrine or they are not. Its no more bashing then...

Where did you find the verse that teaches these?

Grace is God's part, obedience is man's part. There has never been a time in scripture that God has not required man to accept His blessing in obedience. If it is all God and no part of man's will to be saved, which includes doing what God has called us to do then man has no choice in...

1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. Doctrinal differences divide. As for the church not being perfect...

Love the sarcasm. White out? Don't you know your not supposed to sniff that stuff? That explains a lot. Christ became the author of eternal life to those who obey Him! Obedience to God's commands does not nullify grace. How can obedience to God commands nullify the grace that he offers...

You missed the point. No I could not have fellowship with a JW or a M. I should have no fellowship with anyone who teaches a doctrine not found in scripture. The point was division among denominations who claim to all be brethren and a member of the one true church yet cannot fellowship...

Rev 9:20-21 20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their...

Its just to bad that you cannot fellowship and worship with all those who you claim to belong to Christ's one true church because of all the division in doctrine. That is why they were all divided in the first place. Like I said before take all the various types of Baptists and all the various...
