2 Corinthians 1:21-22 NASB Now He who (1) establishes us with you in Christ and (2) anointed us is God, who also (3) sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. (1) God puts us people into Christ (2) God causes them to be born anew, the washing of regeneration (3) God then...

How can a person be made firm or established in Christ, before they are sealed in Christ if no sequence exists?

Of course I see something different. Who would claim we are first sealed in Christ, then put into Him. Good grief. None of these posters seem to know we are made firm or established in Christ BEFORE we are sealed in Christ. Not one...

Folks we know how all those who believe in "unconditional election" would answer the question, they would say NO, since according to their doctrine of total spiritual inability the lost are unable to seek God or trust in Christ. Never mind Luke 13:24 How would Arminians answer the question...

Was that a yes?

More fault finding, but no answer. Folks ask yourselves why such a simple question is too hard for this poster to answer. :) Will you say you believe no one is saved unless God credits their faith as righteousness?

Yet more gibberish, we are saved through our faith when credited as righteousness.

Yet another question as a diversion. Will this poster answer the question: Do you believe God had credited as righteousness the faith of those who "are saved by grace through faith? It seems this simple question is too difficult for any of the naysayers to answer. Here is my answer to his...

Total fiction, God knows, repeat knows our inner most thoughts and beliefs. All these innuendo posts are based on animosity.

We are supposed to be ready to make a defense for what we believe. You question the beliefs of others, but do not say what you believe. Will you say you believe no one is saved unless God credits their faith as righteousness? I expect you will not, based on past performance. And the answer...

Sir, please stick to the topic, Hebrews 11:2. Another key to understanding Hebrews 11:2 is also presented by Galatians 3:22. Note the phrase, "to those who believe." God's confirming action, the giving of the promise demonstrates God had confirmed their faith by crediting it as...

Well I understand your post as not believing we become the righteousness of God in Him. You deny that when God credits our faith as righteousness, which occurs before He transfers us spiritually into Christ, and then, only after we are "in Him," do we become the righteousness of God through the...

1. Luke 13:24 demonstrates man, in his depraved fallen state, has the ability to seek God without the compulsion or enablement of irresistible grace. 2. 2 Thessalonians 2:13 teaches we are chosen for salvation through faith in the truth, thus our individual election is conditional. 3. 1...

Well I understand your post as not believing we become the righteousness of God in Him. You deny that when God credits our faith as righteousness, which occurs before He transfers us spiritually into Christ, and then, only after we are "in Him," do we become the righteousness of God through the...

I liked Martin's post because He encouraged thoughtful, biblically based discussion. I was not addressing any issue between Jonc and Martin.

Another key to understanding Hebrews 11:2 is also presented by Galatians 3:22. Note the phrase, "to those who believe." God's confirming action, the giving of the promise demonstrates God had confirmed their faith by crediting it as righteousness. Otherwise you are faced with the premise God...

Yes, you are correct, I was wrong, the text does have article! However, the addition or deletion of a Greek article in the English translation is often required to present the idea in English. Thus the article does not seem have any bearing upon the meaning of the verse. Hebrews 11:2 does NOT...

Yet another disruptive and diversionary post since Pauline justification is not challenged.

I did not see where you agreed with this statement, "we do not become the righteousness of God by imputation." Nuff said...

Tasso means an arrangement by mutual consent. It does not matter whether in the middle or passive voice. If in the passive voice, that means the person or people receive benefit from the action. You, Sir, have been sold a fiction. I cannot pull you out. You must actually study and find...
