We're talking about the act of salvation, there are some exceptions but for the most part we non-Calvinist agree on salvation, especially the Baptists and Pentecostals.

Let me show you from Scripture how I know the Lord will reign on earth as King. It doesn't take much for me to believe it when I take in all the minor prophets have said. The prophet Zechariah said in 14:2-3, "For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be...

Or you could show me what little info we have on it and you could give me your opionion.

Show me in Scripture where the Trinity is explained so I can understand exactly how that relationship works in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Calvin taught irresistible grace for those whom God has chosen, leaving the rest in their sins. Those He didn't choose never had a chance to reject Christ. That is the "awful decree" that Calvin admitted to in double predestination. Who can keep up with the variations of Calvinism?

Is water baptism our salvation?

Van, I would advise you be very careful in telling the less knowledgeable what they must do to be saved. The apostle Paul has laid that out very carefully for us to understand. We can't add or take from it, when we do we enter into a place of danger.

What you've posted is Van's opinion! I've studied the Scripture all my life and I don't understand the relationship between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and neither do you! It was never explained to us. It seems you've taken it upon yourself to determine what man must believe to be...

How did childlike faith become so complicated?

When did the Lord make understanding the Trinity a requirement for salvation? I think I missed that somewhere in the Scripture.

Israel is nothing special in this world, but what they represent in their calling and the promises made to their forefathers, the lord will turn this world upside down to save all of them. He does exactly that during the GT to bring them back to what intended for them to be. The Lord has said...

You may not care for this example, but I thought it was interesting. An evangelist came to our church years ago with an unusual sermon, it involved a short video. The sermon was on the sin nature/ born sinners. In the sermon he showed a short video of 2 toddlers in a play pen with one given a...

We were born sinners. David said in sin did my mother conceive me. We sin because we are born sinners. Adam was never born, he was created and when he fell we all fell with him, born in sin.

On that we agree!

LOL, what is the purpose in a call to repentance when God hasn't chosen them for repentance? This is just more of the Calvinist Handbook of reasoning something they can't exlpain. It's insanity!

So what does all mean in, "God has called all men everywhere to repent." Obviously in Calvinism God has not called all men everywhere to repent, only those of His choice.

SG, I'm wondering if you have ever read the context of Phil 4:13? Paul is speaking of abasement, to rejoice in the Lord "both to be full and to be hungry." He is saying he can be happy in the Lord when times are good and when times are not so good. His strength is coming from the Lord not his...

Whatever you want to believe, God will honor that, but we must pay the price of what we believe. It will not be overlooked.

Well the Scripture must not be true that God desires for all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. But wait, I forgot that "all" doesn't mean all of mankind, it's just you fortunate folks. It's just the matter of the absolute sovereign will of God no matter how it looks on Him...

There is no fairness in Calvinism, and you can ignore me, but you can't ignore Him when you face Him with that accusation.
