My point was already made. The tithe existed before the Law with Abraham and carried over into the Law, then into the NT. Another point is that the Church in most cases cannot depend on gifts, but requires a steady income in tithes, just my opinion. It may not be an official commandment, but...

None of us are righteous, only declared righteous by grace through faith. None of us are saints, only declared saints by grace through faith. We have been placed in a position by God we don't deserve.

I've only found Total Depravity to be in Scripture. The other 4 are a theory gone bad.

Yes, I would agree that some aren't convicted of their sin. They have rejected it so long and so many times, not only is their conscience seared, but God has handed them over to Satan for their destruction.

Has it already been decided, or does God in His foreknowledge know when it will happen?

Sounds like God made the right choice for you.

What did God choose for your supper tonight?

So every word you speak, every action you take in this life is determined by God?

On this I can totally agree!

It all happens by sharing the Gospel with the Holy Spirit convicting of sin in the heart of the hearer. Whether during preaching in a Church service or you sharing the Gospel somewhere on the street, the Holy Spirit uses that Gospel message there on the spot, piercing the heart with the truth...

It's amazing you say that being that you make dozens of choices a day that God has nothing to do with. The God-given free will can never be explained away, it's clearly seen in Scripture.

Nothing can be changed from what I pointed out by backing up and reading all of it. But I do agree it should all be taken together. I just cut to the point.

Paul said in Eph. 1:13 that after we believed we were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise. "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise," I think we would...

Christ must die because Adam fell, in order for man to be saved. It sounds that the Pastor believes God made Adam fall.

You have a very perverted learning of "free will." Someone has lied to you, Ken. God singles out all of us with the Gospel, provides everything for us to be saved. Just as in the Garden when Adam and Eve had the "free will" to disobey God, knowing the consequences, God respected and gave them...

Even if you hold to the 5 points you still have to believe and trust Him. The same exact thing you did. So your point makes no sense that "I" did something.

That's lame, Ken. You're grasping for straws at this point.

Prove that what I've said is wrong in Scripture, not by your perverted opinion. I was saved by grace through faith the very moment i believed the Gospel. I have nothing to boast about, that is insanity, God brought to me the Gospel, provided everything I needed to be saved, without any help...

To put together in a nut shell all that I've been saying, those who choose to believe on Christ have been chosen by God/predestined to His plan to be conformed in the image of Christ.

The Elect or Chosen are the ones who choose to believe on Christ in the prescribed order chosen by God. Only His way, and there is only one way. The remnant are chosen as a remnant, in other words by free will placing them in the remnant.
