Perhaps you should rethink your understanding of Pelagius. I have not had the chance to go through this web site but you may want to take a look at it https://dannycolemanpelagius.blogspot.com/2014/05/pelagius-and-augustine.html This is some of the opening comments Pelagius has been called...

Jon wants to sit this one out is his choice but to say we are not to engage so as to offer correction to non-christians is, to my mind, neglecting our christian responsibility. Pointing out error in not questioning a persons honestly and integrity, it is pointing out error. Is that not what...

What was the accusation Martin? I asked a question are you not capable of understanding that? You are just making a fool of yourself by your non answers. Or are you concerned that once you make a clear statement you won't be able to dance around as much? There are as many variations of...

You need to keep reading Ken, Even though we all still sin we can thank God that He has forgiven us those sins. So why wallow in your sins. We can rejoice in our relationship with our savior.

How many colors of calvinism are there? You all seem to make up whatever you want and call it calvinism. Do you really know what you are?

So you do not hold to the TULIP? If not why do you say you hold to mainstream calvinism?

There is the problem @David Lamb he said he holds to mainline calvinism which has one saved then given faith and then he says you have to have faith before you are saved. My question for him and you is what do you actually believe? Do either of you hold to the TULIP? If you do not hold to the...

You say you believe what mainstream calvinists believe, that you have to be saved prior to your being given faith, correct. Your words Martin "A person is elect before he believes; God must open His heart to believe before he will do so, but no one is saved before he believes" But as I have...

"Since you do not like what the person wrote you have to disparage it. But that is a common response I have seen from calvinists." How is the truth a snide remark Martin? Because I actually look art the context which you do not seem to do. "When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing...

What a dismal view of the life of a Christian. If most Christians took Philpot's comments to heart they would just throw up their hands and say why bother. But his view is not the biblical view thankfully. 1Th_4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain...

Since you do not like what the person wrote you have to disparage it. But that is a common response I have seen from calvinists. Yes He is a light to the gentiles and those that believe are predestined to eternal life. Now you as someone that claims to preach the word of God should understand...

I would suggest that you read it again as it is clear that you have missed what it says. It is only convoluted in your mind. In the past, God predestined the salvation of the Gentiles. When they in faith accept Christ, he grants them the gift of eternal life. When the Gentiles in Pisidian...

I think we can trust Christ on that one Mar 1:15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." Do you think He was telling people they had to work for their salvation?

We know how it works, it is not a mystery that you seem to think it is. The text says " Now a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel in a joint of the armor." 1Ki 22:34 Do you not believe this? The question you have to answer is did God foreknow that the man would do...

Do you not understand the omniscience of God. He has exhaustive foreknowledge because He is God. How is that such a hard concept for you to grasp. Do you think God have to learn new things? That would make you a Molinist. If you hold to the view that God has to predetermine the future or it...

Be that as it may, BF just ignores everything that does not fit with his theology. It was not me but these various scholars that he is in disagreement with. Some of whom are of the calvinist view. But here is another scholar that I am sure he will disagree with also. “And as many as were...

Actually you have misstated that. God knows via His exhaustive foreknowledge what man will do in his free will. There is no learning what man has done and then adjusting for it as you seem to think. That is Molinism not biblical free will. The run to secondary causes just takes you back to God...

God can and does indeed have total foreknowledge of what man in his free will will do. That does not infringe on mans free will as what man chose to do in his free will is what God in His foreknowledge knew that the man would do. You are describing Molinism which is,in my mind, a false theology...

Still a double negative BF.

I was saved just like everyone else, by grace through faith. Why do you and other calvinists keep trotting out those silly comments "God saved you because of your superior wisdom and intelligence in selecting Christ" But you are right in a way. I can look back and say I was smart enough to...
