Decisional Regeneration

[TCGreek]

Thanks for answering, but that is against scripture also.

1Pe 1:23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

1. God has orgained that through the Word the Spirit works His sanctifying work of regeneration and all that follows (2 Thess.2:12, 13).

2. At some level, one cannot separate Regeneration from Conversion, Justification, Adoption and so on.

3. But like the Bible says, "The Lord opened the heart of Lydia to respond," we too must make some meaningful distinctions.

 

[skypair]

Since you have refused to humble yourself and repent of your railing, but continue in them, and declares "woes" on me now. I just can't see any good or fruit in wrangling with you skypair. Do not expect me to dialogue with you. And if you continue to barage me with your negative rhetoric I will be forced to put you on ignore.

As you wish, Peter. :saint:

open our hearts

It is the Lord who opens our heart to respond to the message unfortuately some aren't like Lydia, there are those who walk away

Very true. I did not receive the doctrines of Grace readily, until the Lord opened my heart to them.

 

[psalms109:31]

message of grace

Every time the Gospel is preaches God is opening our heart to respond, but they continue to walk away.

We know it isn't God turning them away, because He wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth

Maybe I should label think comment, "Random posts of free-willism" ?

lol :tongue3: Don't get too excited, its just reformed Baptist humor.

 

[webdog]

You are joking right? About the Bible being about man's problem, God's solution, and not about Christ?

Did I ever say that? Christ is God's solution.

 

[ReformedBaptist]

Did I ever say that? Christ is God's solution.

It was probably just how I read it.

Here's a question that may relate though, "What is most important to God?'

The power of God and His word makes the difference. Without the Gospel we are going to continue down doing our own way which is evil. The Gospel presents two road and we can take either one of them. To believe in Jesus even over our own beliefs and not perish but have eternal life or not and be condemned.

That piece of humor just flew right by didn't it...

Have a tulip :flower:

Or, the Arminian flower, daisy..."He love me, he loves me not, He loves me, He loves me not...."

In the voice of Larry the Cable Guy, "I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.."

We can't necessarily know that.

What is the chief end of man then?

 

[TCGreek]

What is the chief end of man then?

"To glorify God and enjoy Him forever." I couldn't resist it.

I thought the question was what is most important to God.

You cannot put me in any category, especially in an Arminian one. I do not have to obey the law to be saved, but I am saved by grace through faith.

He loves me ,loves me not is more like some calvinist think. He loves this one, but He doesn't love this one.

I believe the scripture that say's God loved the world that He sent His Son.
