Bible students should know that to rightly divide the Word of God, you do not interpret the New Covenant using Old Covenant rules. The proper rule of interpretation is to interpret the Old Covenant by the New Covenant rules, as the New Covenant replaced the Old Covenant. You do use an...

1 Timothy 4:14 NASB Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery. Timothy's gift was of course teaching and encouraging, bestowed by God through the leading of his...

Yet another attempt to change the subject to me, and run from the fact Elders are elected by the members, and then confirmed by leaders.

No, it sounds like the gospel of grace. Why do you think otherwise? Salvation does NOT depend upon the person who wills or runs, but upon the One who has mercy. Romans 9:16 If we choose not to put our faith and commitment in Christ, then God will not credit our unbelief as righteousness, as...

Should we, as ambassadors of Christ get sidetracked into endless speculation about how God created the heavens and the earth, so that neither the Bible an accurate account of how the heavens and the earth came about nor the currently accepted theories of science are compromised. I believe the...

If we choose not to put our faith and commitment in Christ, then God will not credit our unbelief as righteousness, as He as already condemned it. But if we choose to put our faith and commitment in Christ, that will not save us, but only if God chooses to credit our faith and commitment as...

This claim seems, to me, to be wrong. Yes, God makes plans, and no plan of God can be thwarted. Yes God chooses individuals whose faith He has credited as righteousness. After we are born anew, as new creations, created for good works, we are to go forth and produce fruit. As a born anew...

Everything that happens, to born anew believers, and everybody else, is either caused or allowed by God. God allows things to happen by chance. That is why scripture says things happen by chance. God allows humans to sin, that is why He is just in punishing the lost for their choices.

Thanks, some of the defenders of exhaustive determinism also claim God is not the author of sin. The fact that is an irrational position does not phase them, once they shroud their doctrine in the invisibility cloak of "its a mystery."

Yet nonsense post addressing me and not the topic. Now the poster wants to discuss how a new born anew believer evaluates himself or herself before going to their first communion. I kid you not!

More nonsense, more change of subject questions, more deflection and obfuscation. This is all they have. They deny God credits the faith of believers as righteousness.

Yet another denial post ignoring verse after verse presented to prove God allows things to happen by chance. Notice that posters claim the bible does not teach this or that, but actually do not even know what scripture actually says.

I have asked you to stop, but you continue to assert babies evaluating their walk with Christ at communion is not deflection. Everyone knows it is.

Good Grief, now you claim to be a mind reader. Sir, please to addressing your posts to me, I now know what you are and see no opportunity for mutual enlightenment.

One redcurrant theme of scripture, is God provides protection, even when chance encounters bring adversity into our lives. The righteous man lives by faith, and not fate. We seek God as our refuge.

Yet another taint so post claiming scripture does not mean what it says. Folks, this is all the false teachers have, denial. I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning, nor...

Yet another "taint so" post ignoring verse after verse presented to prove God allows things to happen by chance.

Complete fiction, a false doctrine without a shred of biblical support. 1) Scripture precludes any individual being chosen before creation. 2) Fallen humanity are the sheep without a shepherd. 3) I refuted your OP claims in post #12.

Does the NT speak of possibilities, of things that may happen or might happen. 1 Corinthians 9:22 Interpretive Translation To the weak I became weak, that I MIGHT win the weak; I have become all sorts of things to all sorts of people, so that I MAY by all means SAVE some. The Greek words...

Definition of "Absolute Sovereignty:" God orders everything, controls everything, rules over everything. In other words God causes, predestines, controls everything that happens, nothing happens by chance or the autonomous decision of humans. On the other side of the debate are those that...
