References to the Covenant of Redemption (aka Covenant of Grace) can be found in various parts of the Bible if one is prepared to look for them as the following examples will show:- Luke 22:22. “And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined……” Determined where and by whom if not in...

Well, we have delivered around 800 copies of Luke's Gospel and our church leaflet to homes around the town of Exmouth and were engaged in giving out Gospels and leaflets in the town centre. Before giving results, a word of advice: don't take a pitch in the middle of a shopping centre. People...

A couple of other points about the KJV: 1. The English language, like every other, has changed over the past four hundred years. Words alter their meanings over time. In 2Thes 2:7, the K.J.V. translates, ‘Only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.’ The word ‘let’ in...

Who doesn't want your Bible saying Jesus is God? Why, I do believe it's you! Titus 2:13, K.J.V. Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.’ Titus 2:13, N.K.J.V. 'Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great...

I've heard of a dog rose, but never a dog tulip. Or are you thinking of Dogtanian? The Doctrines of Grace are found in the confessions, you silly man! TULIP is just a mnemonic that someone or other made up. I would prefer "effective atonement" but TUEIP isn't quite as catchy. But the fact...

Yes indeed! By praying for the lost everyone is acknowledging that 'Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb,' which is good because that's what the Bible says.

What sort of reply is that? Most of my post was the word of God. If you think I'm interpreting it wrongly, it's up to you to show me how and where.

At last a sensible question! Thank you! 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' That's in the Bible and therefore non-negotiable. But men and women will not call on the name of the Lord. John 3:19. 'And this is the condemnation; that the light has come into the world...

You won't have a serious conversation about these things. I'm wasting my time. Cheerio.

They do not rule out free will. Just read the extract from the 1689 Confession. The fact that you have to face is that God is a whole lot smarter than you are. '"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so...

Romans 9:13. 'For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' Calvinists have the same Bible as you do, and they believe it all.

I assume that this little gem is in response to what I wrote. Who the xxxx are you to tell me what I believe?

Why do you suppose that I or any Calvinist would have the slightest problem with that?

That is simply Calvinism. What you and others think is Calvinism is actually hyper-Calvinism. Read Spurgeon vs. Hyper-Calvinism by Iain Murray (Banner of Truth).

2nd [Particular] Baptist Confession of Faith, 1689 IX:1. God hath endued the Will of Man with that natural liberty, and power of acting upon choice; that it is neither forced, nor by any necessity of nature determined to do good or evil. [Matt. 17:12; James 1:14; Deut. 30:19] The Westminster...

Deuteronomy 31:16ff. 'And the LORD said to Moses: "Behold, you will rest with your fathers; and this people will rise and play the harlot with the gods of the foreigners of the land, where they go to be among them, and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them. Then...

You are exactly right! But the question is, what saviour is one relying on? The devils in hell believe there was someone called Jesus of Nazareth who did a lot of good stuff. They even believe that He is the Son of God (e.g. Matt. 8:29), but it does them no good at all. The faith that saves...

This is what makes it so depressing to discuss with you. You keep trotting out the same verses without listening to what you have been told. First of all, the words, "The sins of" do not appear in any ancient manuscript. Secondly, "the whole world" only rarely means "all the people in the...

Listen again to Alistair Begg. If you put your salvation down to anything that you have done, then you've got it all wrong. The quote is from a hymn by Charitie Lees Bancroft, and I want it sung at my funeral. Here it is in full. 'Before the throne of God above I have a strong, a perfect...

I just believe the words of Scripture. 'All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.' Just believe the words, Psalty. That's all we need to do. The whataboutery is irrelevant. The Shepherd will keep His sheep. Who are Christ's...
