Calvinism Made Me Doubt My Salvation

[Silverhair]

No I'm not. The propitiation is forgiveness and we know that doesn't apply to the unforgiven. So it's limited to the elect

BF propitiation does not mean forgiveness, if it did then the whole world has been forgiven their sins. 1Jn_2:2 Is that what you believe?

Christ is “the propitiation,” because by his becoming our substitute and assuming our obligations he expiated our guilt, covered it, by the vicarious punishment which he endured. Easton

To propitiate is to appease, to atone, to turn away the wrath of an offended person. In the case before us, the wrath turned away is the wrath of God; the person making the propitiation is Christ; the propitiating offering or sacrifice is his blood. Watson

In theology, the atonement or atoning sacrifice offered to God to assuage his wrath and render him propitious to sinners. Webster

Again it's given to believe on Christ Philippians 1:29

You are misusing that verse BF. We are not given faith to believe.

Paul is telling the Philippians that they should consider it a privilege to suffer even to die for the word of God and their faith in Christ just as he did. Php 1:21 "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain."

You need to read verses in their context BF then it will help you avoid the errors you make in the understanding of the text.

BF propitiation does not mean forgiveness

False, I already explained it to you

 

[Silverhair]

But the thing about that I'm a witness for God and the Lord Jesus Christ

You may consider yourself to be a witness but what you are a witness to is a man-made misunderstanding of the word of God.

But as they say God can draw a straight line with a bent stick so He can use a bad theory to advance His word.

False Phil 1:29 and the elect are given repentance to repent Acts 5:31

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

You may consider yourself to be a witness

By the Grace of God I am a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ

 

[Silverhair]

False, I already explained it to you

And as I showed you BF your explanation is wrong.

 

[Brightfame52]

And as I showed you BF your explanation is wrong.

I'm right

 

[Silverhair]

False Phil 1:29 and the elect are given repentance to repent Acts 5:31

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

BF you can continue to ignore context but it does not make your view correct.

 

[Silverhair]

By the Grace of God I am a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ

To your false theory perhaps but not to the true word of God. You have abused the word of God so that it fits the man-made theory to hold.

 

[Silverhair]

I'm right

Your funny BF. I really cannot take you seriously when you make such claims as you have done.

 

[Brightfame52]

BF you can continue to ignore context but it does not make your view correct.

Now you dont believe Jesus gives repentance. Acts 5:31

 

[Brightfame52]

To your false theory perhaps but not to the true word of God.
