    Chosen In Him, Ephesians 1:4

    "Van, Your response has degenerated into a series of desperate grammatical redefinitions and unscriptural timeline fabrications. In your anxiety to protect human free will from the sovereign individual election of God, you are forcing words to mean what no Greek lexicon or biblical context in...

    Faith # 7

    Since Faith is a Gift of God from His enabling one to believe by His Grace and Power, therefore Gods word tells us some will trust in Christs Name Rom 15:12 10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. 11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye...

    Chosen In Him, Ephesians 1:4

    Van, I think your argument has to import a concept into Ephesians 1:4 that Paul himself does not state. Paul does not say, “He chose Christ, and therefore corporately chose those who would later believe.” He says: The subject is he (God), the object is us, and “in him” describes the...

    Faith # 7

    Mans religion will deny that Faith is the result of the Power and Grace of God and will ignorantly attribute it to the natural will of man, not understanding nor accepting the fact that by nature men are in the power of unbelief Rom 11:32 32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he...

    They Stand by Faith—But God Is Able to Make Them Stand Another passage demonstrating that faith and the believer's standing are not grounds for boasting is Romans 11. Paul writes to believing Gentiles: Notice the contrast. The natural branches were broken off because of unbelief. The...

    One of the great indicators of the apostasy of our times is that men have taken the prerogative of Faith in Salvation and have made it a work of the flesh, when in truth, Faith in Salvation, believing in Christ is the prerogative of God, His Work, this by Jesus own testimony Jn 6:29 Jesus...

    Israel Shall Be Saved in the LORD Isaiah 45:17 declares: Notice carefully what Isaiah says. He does not merely say that Israel shall be saved because of physical descent. He says Israel shall be saved “in the LORD.” The sphere and ground of this salvation is the LORD Himself. This becomes...

    How is Faith obtained ? Man by nature doesn't have a Faith that pleases God, for it is written :Rom 8:8 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Man by nature man have a faith, but its no better off in the things of God as the devils faith in God James 2:19 Thou believest that...
