I usually tell people that I am adamant about the "T" and the "P" and that the "U " and "I" follow along in their logical course and the "L" to me stands for "Leave it be!":Laugh I consider myself to be a "moderate" Calvinist and such affects the way that I approach evangelism for the very...

Let's just argue about whatever you want to argue about rather than remaining on actual topic here?

A new Presbyterian denomination?

I'm sure it is quite informative for those who have four hours to spend listening to all of this. But in two or three sentences, how would you describe "Hyper" Calvinism? and how would you distinguish this from the more mainstream variety?

Neither do I but he gives some good perspectives. I do not believe we will have a "static" existence in the age to come. We will continue to grow in knowledge and wisdom and will never become bored or complacent! And we certainly will not be old and decrepit!

I agree and this is my point here!

90 in a perfect, sinless, glorified body would be far better than any athletic 20-something in this present sin-cursed day and age would it not? I am betting this 90 year-old man in his glorified body would be able to out-tackle, out-run, out-fight, and out-work any College aged "whippersnapper"...

Adam was a fully mature and viable human man the day that God created him out of the dust of the earth. We typically regard someone to be fully grown at around 18 and there are some other maturity factors (growth of skull bones, etc) that may put Adam as being physiologically anywhere between...

What exactly is the difference? And what do you mean by "Life Long service?" How do you explain the process of sanctification? It should go without saying that it is not instantaneous but progressive but nonetheless, it is something that is evident in the life of everyone who is a genuine...

Let's take Calvinism and Arminianism out of the equation shall we? How could one ever confess Christ as Savior without also acknowledging him as being Lord?" Think about this for a minute or two... Just the basics here: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus... (Rom 10:9)...

I'm not sure how to answer this nor do I think I am even going to try. I don't think I have ever seen someone with a more worse case of CDS (Calvinism Derangement Syndrome) as this! Best of luck to you.

Let me make it clear that I was not speaking against the "altar call" per se. My primary objection was with those who make it a major point of contention and as a "test of orthodoxy." Altar calls can be effective if employed in a correct and scriptural manner.

If I only had a nickel for every time I ran across someone who thought that Johm 3:16 was some sort of "Magic Bullet" that refuted Calvinism! :Rolleyes:rolleyes: If only John Calvin would've read John 3:16, perhaps he wouldn't have become a Calvinist? Who is "Whosoever" and how does "Whosoever"...

OK, this is where I have to come down on the "Other Side" here! The so-called "Altar Call" is nowhere to be found in scripture. It is largely a construct of the "Revivalism" of the Second Great Awakening. I am not saying it is unscriptural or that it should never be employed but I am saying...

I have been a big fan of the "9-Marks" ministries and have used their material in the training of deacons and ministry leaders at our church but Mark Dever has some serious issues and I do not believe I could recommend this ministry any longer! Mark Dever is willfully ignorant at best and...

I am guessing you would be speaking mainly of the "Western Hemisphere" where the "Americas" are? I would say that from the standpoint of the biblical authors (Old and New Testament), this "New World" did not exist so this is why such are conspicuously absent in biblical prophecy. From their...

Much of the so-called "Social Sciences" is blatant Marxism re-packaged into a sleek, sexy, and trendy "study" of one sort or another. When I take my dog to dog parks, they are mostly empty but he finds a "Playmate" ever so often. He is 'fixed' though so he is incapable of "raping" anyone...

I was raised in Roman Catholicism and became a Baptist about a year and a half or so (1983) afterward after coming to a living, saving faith in the risen Christ (1981). I therefore have familiarity from such a standpoint but since I have been a Baptist (Evangelical Christian) for over 40 years...

I raised my right hand and joined the Navy Delayed Entry program in January 1982. I was in my Senior year of High School and about six month old in the Lord at the time. Reported for Boot Camp in Orlando, FL after graduation on July 27, 1982 then reported to NATTC Millington TN for training as...

As I have stated in prior posts, Adam was culpable because he was responsible for Eve and it was his "passivity" that allowed Eve to be tempted to begin with. God gave the commandment to Adam and it seems quite clear that Adam at the very least communicated this to Eve and he is probably the one...
