My clearly expressed view IS God is totally in control of salvation of mankind. More effort to create an issue where none exists. The vile misrepresentation was the posters misquoting and misrepresenting John 10:26. Here is what I said: Now we get the vile misrepresentation of scripture, the...

The "P" stands for "Preservation of the Saints" and says those saved are kept saved and no one can lose their salvation. I believe this doctrine, as stated, is correct and valid doctrine. I say Preservation and this poster says Persevere. Needless effort to create an issue.

The senior Pastor would not submit to the plurality of Elders.

Sir, absolutely none of your references support the false doctrines of Calvinism. The topic and purpose of this thread is not for me to once again show that Calvinism is false doctrine from scripture. I have done that dozens of times. The response is always the say, more false claims like...

LOL, 1) Did I say Canadyjd mentioned me in post 9? Nope 2) Did I mention or address the poster? Nope 3) I said the doctrines regurgitated were false. 4) Here, again is what I actually said: 1) Yes, we only come into a right relationship with God by the will of God and not our...

Years ago, my church underwent a "church split." Our church was thriving, attendance was high, our ministries, adult, youth, and children were reaching and teaching people, with some commuting to full time Christian service. We had a wonderful Senior Pastor whose sermons and classes opened the...

John 3:18 “The one who believes into Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed into the name of the uniquely divine Son of God. What aspects of Christ's attributes are in view here? As Lord and Savior! If you review Romans 4:19-22...

I fear that the reason we have a number of very large "churches" is because of too much attachment to a particular Pastor. People would rather drive past other churches in order to be taught by "insert favorite big name guy." I think the Chuck Smith model of spinning off new plant or replant...

Some people use the phrase "saving faith" and seem to think a particular content and/or a particular zealousness of that belief requires God to accept the person's faith. What scripture says is if God credits the person's faith as righteousness, that faith is saving faith. Some might object...

As I stated, Romans 1:17 says a righteousness that is out of or arises from or is based upon faith. I did not see anythings else that addressed my post.

I suppose your are familiar with the "TULIP" which outlines the Calvinism doctrines. The "T" stands for "Total Spiritual Inability" and says the lost, unless enabled by Irresistible Grace, are unable to seek God or trust in Christ. The "U" stands for "Unconditional Election" and says God choose...

Hi Regulus, All of us, people who actually believe we are saved, fail at times to walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. But, I believe if we feel remorse, and strive to correct our behavior, that suggests we actually are indwelt, and our Helper is convicting us and leading us back to...

I believe there is only one correct view or most correct view, the others are incorrect views. I do not believe to insist upon one translation choice over another is not as sound as trying to determine what might be taught by the correct understanding of scripture. Yes, I believe the correct...

Once again we have a thread discussion PSA with absolutely nobody changing their view one iota. Was Jesus made to be sin, or was Jesus treated as sin? Treated as sin. Thus His sacrificial death, the just (sinless) for the unjust (sinful) is validated. The rub, of course is the PSA claim...

So what action by God arises from or is based upon God crediting our faith as righteousness. He transfers the individual whose faith as been credited as righteousness into Christ. See 2 Thessalonians 2:13 and James 2:5. Thus the distinctive between the human action to believe in something...

More false doctrine regurgitated from the bogus doctrines of the dark ages. 1) Yes, we only come into a right relationship with God by the will of God and not our will. 2) Yes, we must be born anew by the will and causative action of God. 3) Yes, no one puts their faith in Christ unless...

On and on folks, now this poster claims that faith IS righteousness, rather than we obtain our righteousness through our credited faith. And also note the repetitive posting of non-germane scripture as if it supported his fiction. Saying faith is important does not support the bogus claim...

Hi Cjab, I hold a very different view. The merit or lack their of "faith" is not found in Greek word form, but in whether or not God credited that "faith" as righteousness. We see in the account of Abraham, that he trusted in God's promise, and would follow God's instructions, even when they...

Pretty simple doctrine, 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...

Unless the righteousness of a lost person surpasses the righteousness of scribes and Pharisees, such that you have never broken even one point of the Law, the person will not enter the kingdom of heaven. A person must be made perfect to enter the abode of God. All our works of righteousness...
