More complete misrepresentation from a professing Christian. The only person claiming the lost are included with the saved is the one making false statements. God word says we are to beg the lost to be reconciled, which makes to sense if they had no opportunity to be reconciled. Your...

They were chosen for salvation by the Spirit setting them apart in Christ based on God crediting their faith, not some imaginary given faith, as righteousness.

Again, here the false claim is made that I said or suggested that everyone is saved, rather than the truth, I said everyone God transfers into Christ is saved. This is all they have, name calling, and misrepresentation.

God chooses people for salvation as He is reconciling the world to Himself. 1) God is reconciling. False teachers deny this fundamental truth. 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people's trespasses against them, and he...

On and on, obfuscation after obfuscation. Everyone saved, transferred spiritually into Christ, has been, past tense, reconciled. For this poster to not know this par for the course. Note no mention of the verses that say God is reconciling, not has reconciled, the world, humanity. Nope, that...

Yes, my life has provided many wonderful memories of "summer vacations" many at National Parks. As a youth I watched the actual fire falls, before they stopped shoving burning bark over the cliff. And my kids, now in their 50's tell me of their memories of camping, fishing, and enjoying the...

On and on, false claim after false claim. 2 Thessalonians 2:13 says God has chosen through (Greek "en" used to show instrumentality) sanctification by the Spirit ( God setting the person apart into Christ) and through (based on crediting their) faith in the truth.

Note, this poster addresses me, avoids Matthew 23:13 as if it didn't demonstrate supernatural enablement is a fiction.

Thanks, atpollard, I did not see even one point to nit-pick. :) Yes we were called out of darkness, because we then existed in the realm of darkness. I see a request was made for scriptural evidence the church, those called out, are "all" priests. It is stated in 1 Peter 2:5 that the "you"...

So you like to ask questions, but actually have nothing to support your bogus views? Irresistible grace, one of your bogus views is shown to be bogus by Matthew 23:13, where people were entering the kingdom, thus according to your view were under the influence of irresistible grace, the...

Folks, read 1 John 2:2. Did Christ become the means of reconciliation for the whole of humanity? Folks, read 2 Thessalonians 2:13, does God choose individuals for salvation through faith in the truth? Pay no attention to posters who simply proclaim this or that but cannot even cite a single...

Some define Soul Liberty as the liberty to believe whatever you want, as long as it isn't the Truth.

Sorry but 1 John 2:2 as translated by the NASB says Christ became the means of reconciliation. I have addressed both your points and you have ignored the enlightenment. Christ provides the means of reconciliation, and God chooses those to receive it based on crediting their faith as righteousness

"It's Vanology." Change of subject name calling is the trademark folks intent on tearing down rather than building up. Christ provides the means of reconciliation, and God chooses those to receive it based on crediting their faith as righteousness.

The concept of individual soul liberty says a person may believe all 5 points of the TULIP, or reject them. The TULIP says the lost are unable to seek God at any time, nor put their trust and devotion in Christ as Savior and Lord. Reformed Baptists have a version of the distinctive that does...

Interesting insight, Paleouss! The issue is clear, first an atoning sacrifice must be offered for all, and then, in order to "receive" the reconciliation provided by the sacrifice, the individual sinner must be "sprinkled" or more accurately "washed in the sacrificial blood." For Christianity...

Addressing the Title question, Nope, only one that is trustworthy and reliable. The opening post is gibberish, as if only the originals are inspired and inerrant, and we do not have them, then we cannot know how close our copies come to that criteria. However, again relying of scripture, we...

Distinctive is an interesting term. Some Baptists believe in a list, but other Baptists believe in another list. For example Soul Liberty. The idea is that the lost are able to seek God and trust in Christ, as far as General Baptists are concerned,. However, a careful reading the distinctive...

"Is writing lyrical prose a sin?" Since the Bible contains, according to scholars, many "forms" of writing, I doubt that any form of writing would be judged a sin on that basis alone. Rather any form of writing that conveys Truth, and helps to evangelize and edify would seem to be in the will...
